9. Please describe the issue in detail. After I installed the Raspbian ROS Kinetic OS for P 3b+, I did the following

Once logged in to the Raspberry Pi, execute the commands below to sync time. $ sudo apt-get install ntpdate $ sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com Load Raspberry Pi configuration interface. $ sudo raspi-config Select Advanced Options > Expand Filesystem and exit.

And then I followed the following official document to activate and run the RPi camera, but no success. Turtlebot3 Pi Camera Setup

I can make sure the Pi camera is connected right and I've checked with different Pi 3b+ boards. same issues. Thanks a lot

It turns out I can use the Pi camera without installing the following two package:

E: Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-compressed-image-transport E: Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-camera-info-manager

When I run $ roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_rpicamera.launch

Only a Warn message shows up and I can visualize the image on my remote PC.

[ WARN] [1640498104.677588643]: Camera calibration file /home/pi/.ros/camera_info/camera.yaml not found.

The whole printout is shown as below: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_rpicamera.launch ... logging to /home/pi/.ros/log/fef183dc-654c-11ec-a6ad-480fcf41d72a/roslaunch-raspberrypi-12191.log Checking log directory for disk usage.

Hi @stevensu1838

Yes, the images are preinstalled with necessary packages to run TurtleBot3. However, the provided Kinetic image is created before the ROS GPG Key incident, therefore, when trying to updating the package or installing a new package with apt-get update or apt-get upgrade commands will return such errors. Please see below thread for more details and resolutions. https://discourse.ros.org/t/ros-gpg-key-expiration-incident/20669/38

Thanks!
