Rviz Problem #103

Open aliozcan01 opened 3 years ago

aliozcan01 commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Thank you for providing this package as open source. I can run this package standard launch files, but I can't run launch with rviz. How can I use rviz with this package? in log file: rviz process has died

Thanks, best regards.

Ubuntu 18.04 ROS Melodic

I had a similar issue. It was due to the Xorg server not being defined.
I am running Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic

rosrun robot_upstart install --job test .....

I solved it in my installation by adding the following environment variables into the generated test.launch file which robot_upstart placed at /lib/systemd/system/test.service

This may not be best practices.
