Expected behaviour

I expected that updating the TurtleBot 4 should finish without any errors.

Actual behaviour

While updating the TurtleBot 4, ros-humble-turtlebot4-setup is not properly configured.

To Reproduce

Flashed the sd-card using wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turtlebot/turtlebot4_setup/humble/scripts/sd_flash.sh bash sd_flash.sh ~/Downloads/turtlebot4_lite_humble_1.0.4.img
SSH into the Raspberry Pi using ssh ubuntu@10.42.0.1
Connected the Raspberry Pi to my network by following the instructions after turtlebot4-setup
Found the new IP address and SSH into it.
Updating the TurtleBot 4 sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Other notes

Note:

This Turtlebot 4 was previously being used in another project. I wanted to start from scratch so followed the Basic Setup page and reflashed the raspi with turtlebot4_lite_humble_1.0.4.img .
This is how the App Config page on Create 3 Webserver looks like.
I found that out of all the necessary Conffiles needed for turtlebot4-setup only one is missing in the Operating system : /etc/turtlebot4/chrony.conf

I tried installing ros-$ROS_DISTRO-turtlebot4-setup separately but it failed as it cannot mv the missing file.

Fulle log file after running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade error.log

I am thinking of creating the chrony.conf file and copying the contents of the file from turtlebot4_setup package.

I just did what i said above and here is the terminal output.

There was a prompt for kernal pending kernel upgrade Screenshot from 2024-10-13 21-30-41

Next there was a prompt for restarting services which I canceled.

Can some tell me is my setup complete or did I mess up somewhere?

Hello @PrakritTyagi Thank you for reaching out on the Turtlebot 4 Github page. A bit of background on this matter, there is a known bug with regards to obtaining the chrony.conf file, but we have pushed a bug fix for this, but copying the file template and creating it from scratch is a viable option. From our end it the file appears fine and the terminal output seems reasonable. Are you encountering any operational issues with the Turtlebot?

In terms of the kernel, where is this update coming from? Have you connected a monitor to the Raspberry Pi?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, Saif

HI @smatarCPR Thanks for replying. I was waiting for the reply, and I have not tried out operating the Turtlebot with turtlebot4_lite_humble_1.0.4.img, ill let you know.

In terms of kernel I get the kernel update msg through ssh. I didnt connect the monitor to the Raspi. Can you tell me what the expected kernel version is for both lite and standard turtlebots running ros2 humble after running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade??

ill do everything again and if i encounter any operational issue ill let you know. Best Regards.

Hello @PrakritTyagi , Apologies for the late reply on this. We don't not have a specified kernel version, you are free to use the most up to date version of the kernel available to you. The kernel screen you are seeing is simply a notification that a newer version of the kernel is available for use and you should restart the Pi so that the kernel can be used.

Are you able to get past this kernel screen?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, Saif
