Issue details
I followed the tutorial for the ROS UR driver (https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver), but did not get the calibration. However, in usage_example, when I want to control the robot using the test_move script, the code shows that everything is fine, but the robot cannot move and makes a loud sound.
Have any of you encountered this, or does anyone know what might be wrong?

Can you please provide us with the logs for your failed calibration extraction and your testing problem? In particular, it would be helpful to see if you can correctly connect to the robot.
Based on not being able to extract the calibration, i would suspect there to be some network problem (in particular because running in a VM adds an extra layer of complexity here), but i don't know what could cause the robot to make a sound. Be aware that we generally recommend to run the driver directly on a ubuntu PC with realtime patches applied as described here.
I'll mark this to get closed if no further input is provided.
Additionally to the things requested by @RobertWilbrandt: Could you please post the actual commands and their output that you used to start the driver and the test motion?
