ROS： ResourceNotFound: ros_robot_description_pkg

 

ROS系统安装好，并且装了一些控制器插件，执行roscore命令后，再通过roslaunch命令执行 launch文件出现以下错误：

Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.

原因： 找不到所创建的软件包，因此需要通过路径和命令加载软件包

cd ~/GHRosBotTutorials

 source devel/setup.sh

为了避免每次启动后输入该命令的繁琐，可通过命令把它添加到.bashrc文件中

echo " source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.sh" >> ~/bash.rc

如果是在虚拟机上安装的ROS，最好也在.bashrc中添加上export SVGA_VGPU10=0   , 关闭硬件加速, 下面的内容是.bashrc文件尾部代码。

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.sh
export SVGA_VGPU10=0
