Standalone ROS2_bridge fails to load

Hi, I’m trying to create a standalone application using ros2.

When I try to import omni.isaac.ros2_bridge I get the following errors

I am running my file using the python.sh file present in isaac source folder. I tried running it a terminal without ros sourced and one with it and both time I got the error

A minimal python file to reproduce the error :

from omni.isaac.kit import SimulationApp
simulation_app = SimulationApp({"headless": False})
import omni
ext_manager = omni.kit.app.get_app().get_extension_manager()
simulation_app.update()

ext_manager.set_extension_enabled_immediate("omni.isaac.ros2_bridge", True)

simulation_app.close() # close Isaac Sim

Can you make sure that ROS2 is not sourced in the terminal where you are running this script?
That currently leads to issues with incorrect libraries getting linked at runtime

Yes I made sure of that by checking what was the content of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (since sourcing ros fill it) and it was empty

Hello,

I’m facing the same problem with the ROS2-Bridge extension.
@09ubberboy90 were you able to solve it?

I installed ros2 foxy following the installation description here.

After successfull installation I open Isaac Sim and I go to the extensions window, deactivate the ROS-Bridge extension that is activated by default and try to activate the ROS2-Bridge extension.

The UI then shows a red warning icon:

And the console shows these logs:

I tried reinstalling Isaac Sim and ROS2 but it did not help.
How can I make sure that ROS2 is not sourced in the terminal where I’m running Omniverse?
Any help on the matter will be appreciated.

I have not been able to solve it. I am still manually loading my world since it seems to be the only way that works

I could solve it by changing my Nvidia Driver. Not sure why but now it’s working

Hi to what version did you change it to ?

nvidia-driver-460-server

Hi,

I’ve tried switching the driver but there is still no change in my error. I can also confirm that i’m not sourcing my normal ros environment as when i do, it creates an error saying I’m missing python3.7 libraries.

@Hammad_M do you know what could be a solution ?

I had the same problem, but I solved it. I was using source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash in the ~/.profile. This seems to be a problem caused by a conflict. If you delete that part and restart, it will be solved. If it is the same problem, it is a ros2 problem, so I recommend reinstalling ros2.
