I completed the Quick Start Guide for Foxy. All went well.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2 Windows 11.

However, when try to run the simulation

$ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger
$ ros2 launch turtlebot3_gazebo empty_world.launch.py

It failed with the message

Package 'turtlebot3_gazebo' not found: "package 'turtlebot3_gazebo' not found, searching: ['/opt/ros/foxy']"

How to fix it? I found a similar thread on Reddit but it didn't help much.

Solution

  • As pointed by @Bilal in the comment, I solved the issue by running

    sudo apt-install ros-foxy-turtlebot3-gazebo

    Then, run the simulation:

    set env export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger
run ros2 launch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch.py

    Result: Gazezo WSL sceenshot
