2017-01-03 11:16:51 -0500 answered a question 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x9a in position 3: ordinal not in range(128) while launching Moveit Setup Assiatant with roslaunch.

Thanks ahendrix. As it turns out there was a zero length file named ?p?@@ in the //opt/ros/kinetic/lib/moveit_setup_assistant directory. I don't know how it got there as this is a clean installation of Kinetic. But all is well and Setup Assistant runs.

Thanks again,

Mike

I installed Kinetic using http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine and installed Moveit! using http://moveit.ros.org/install/ . When I execute roslaunch moveit_setup_assistant setup_assistant.launch, following instructions here, http://docs.ros.org/kinetic/api/movei... , I get [roslaunch][ERROR] 2017-01-02 11:25:28,199: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x9a in position 3: ordinal not in range(128).
