2013-02-07 03:57:57 -0500 asked a question roslaunch external program

Is it possible to run a non-ros program from a roslaunch file? For example, I would like to run the system installed version of Gazebo.

I looked in the roslaunch documentation, and couldn't find a solution.

2012-05-07 08:32:42 -0500 answered a question Failed to apply efforts to joints in gazebo on ros fuerte

The basic problem is that there was a bug in my electric-fuerte migration, fixed in the following patch, to be released with 1.6.8. https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/changeset/39394

Hi all,

I follow this tutorial using Fuerte, but the link does not rotate after

$rosservice call gazebo/apply_joint_effort '{joint_name: link_joint, effort: 0.01, start_time: 10000000000, duration: 1000000000}'

instead I get

ERROR: transport error completing service call: unable to receive data from sender, check sender's logs for details

I have launched

$ roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

on ROS Fuerte, Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

Where could I see sender's logs as suggested by the error msgs above?

Is there another way (how) to apply effort to joints in gazebo in Fuerte?

I note that the tutorial I follow was written for C-Turtle.
