No map is displayed in ROS2 Galactic on Ubuntu 20.04 (VirtualBox VM) #52

I'm a beginner to ROS and am using Ubuntu 20.04 on a VirtualBox VM. I installed ROS2 Galactic from apt. When I follow the instructions and launch rviz, the map is empty. My ports are working fine. When I use the simple_grabber from RPLidar_sdk, it shows the reading fine. It's just a problem of displaying that correctly on rviz. Can anyone help?

Okay, so I figured this out. Installed Foxy and tried again and got it to work. So, this repo needs to be upgraded to be compatible with Galactic
