Cannot set home in SITL Arducopter

[gitdillo]

I am trying to set home using a simulated Arducopter but I can not get it to work. I have tried the service as well as the mavcmd utility and both fail.

This is the result of calling the set_home service (note that I am using the /Klotho/mavros namespace):

$ rosservice call /Klotho/mavros/cmd/set_home "{current_gps: false, yaw: 0.0, latitude: 5.0, longitude: 1.0, altitude: 100.0}" 
success: False
result: 4

When trying the same but with "current_gps: true", it works but it is useless since I want to set my own coordinates, not use the current GPS ones:

$ rosservice call /Klotho/mavros/cmd/set_home "{current_gps: true, yaw: 0.0, latitude: 5.0, longitude: 1.0, altitude: 100.0}" 
success: True
result: 0

I get the same results when trying with the utility command:

$ rosrun mavros mavcmd -n Klotho/mavros sethome 10 10 100
Request failed. Check mavros logs. ACK: 4

The MAVLINK response in both cases is 4, which I think refers to the MAV_RESULT_FAILED mavlink message.

The mavros logs mentioned in the response are not particularly helpful, here is the output from the latest file in the ~/.ros/log directory:
