Isaac_ros_freespace_segmentation Launch Error in Docker Container

Hello,
I am attempting to launch the “isaac_ros_freespace_segmentation” Quickstart on Ubuntu 20.04, following the steps outlined in the documentation
I have encountered an issue while following step four in the documentation:
4. Launch the Docker container using the run_dev.sh script.
Despite my efforts to resolve the problem, I have not been successful, and it appears that I am not the only one experiencing this error.
Here are some relevant links to similar issues:

Hi @sweetyleah0

Thank you for submitting your post and providing a reference to your issue. To offer you the best support, I have a few questions.

  1. Are you working on a desktop or a Jetson device?
  2. Have you updated the Isaac ROS Common to the latest release?
  3. have you followed this setup page? Developer Environment Setup — isaac_ros_docs documentation
  4. if you previously worked with an old Isaac ROS release, try also to clean your old docker containers and stop the old docker container running.

I notice this error:

isaac_ros_dev not specified, assuming /home/rosexpert1/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev

I think you didn’t set your ROS2 workspace, following Developer Environment Setup — isaac_ros_docs documentation

Finally, If you are not familiar with docker, you can find a list of all running containers with the command:

docker ps -a

if you recognize a container with: isaac_ros_dev-x86_64-container
try to stop and remove with:

docker stop isaac_ros_dev-x86_64-container
docker rm isaac_ros_dev-x86_64-container

Resolved it. After searching online, I discovered that the error is inconsequential and has no adverse impact. Thank you.
