Unable to launch navigation stack in simulation #4

Description

@nahl-f

I am able to successfully run the regular simulation in gazebo and teleop the tiago when launched using:

ros2 launch tiago_pro_gazebo tiago_pro_gazebo.launch.py

However, when attempting to launch with the navigation stack

ros2 launch tiago_pro_gazebo tiago_pro_gazebo.launch.py navigation:=True 

I get these error messages despite providing an initial pose using rviz:


[component_container-4] [ERROR] [1784730252.984424208] [laser_scan_footprint_filter]: We need an index channel to be able to filter out the footprint
[component_container-4] [ERROR] [1784730253.138895274] [laser_scan_footprint_filter]: We need an index channel to be able to filter out the footprint

I have attached the launch log and transform tree to this issue. There is no map --> odom frame shown in the tf tree.

Environment
Docker container built using PAL provided image. Run using the command:

sudo docker run -it --name=tiago_pro_docker --network=host --ipc=host --env=DISPLAY --runtime="nvidia" --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" --env="NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all" --env="NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all" --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri --gpus "all" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v terminator-config:/etc/xdg/terminator development-tiago-pro-30:alum-edge bash 

I have also attempted to launch the navigation stack using:

ros2 launch tiago_pro_30_gazebo tiago_pro_gazebo.launch.py navigation:=True

with the same result. Any help would be appreciated!
