Failed to load nodelet '/camera/camera_nodelet` of type `pointgrey_camera_driver/PointGreyCameraNodelet` to manager `camera_nodelet_manager

[campergat]

Hello, I have not been able to launch the driver to work with my Blackfly camera. (I am running ubuntu 16.04 and ros kinetic on my computer). I can run list_cameras with no issues: Number of cameras found: 1 [0]Serial: 18288278, Model: Blackfly BFLY-PGE-13H2C, Vendor: Point Grey Research, Sensor: Sharp RJ33J3CA0DT (1/3" Color CCD), Resolution: 1288x964, Color: true, Firmware Version: 1.62.3.0 and I can also run the flycap software and view the image stream successfully. However, when I try to launch the driver with roslaunch pointgrey_camera_driver camera.launch, It crashes with the following errors:

[FATAL] [1537455295.650868657]: Failed to load nodelet '/camera/image_proc_debayer` of type `image_proc/debayer` to manager `camera_nodelet_manager'

I have also tried to run each nodelet separately from the command line in order. This results in the manager crashing with a segfault the moment I try to run pointgrey_camera_driver/PointGreyCameraNodelet.

am I missing something here? Does this error look familiar to anyone? Any help would be much appreciated.

same problem, is this (0.13.4-0xenial-20180824-172336-0800) package not working for anyone else?

[salsicha]

I think I need to roll back to (ros-kinetic-pointgrey-camera-driver/now 0.13.4-0xenial-20180309-130427-0800 amd64). How can I do that? Are the older builds stored anywhere?

Hi, I am having the same problem but with the Chameleon 3 Camera and ROS Kinetic. I know this is an old issue but were you able to find any fixes to this problem? I have tried installing the Fly Capture 2 library drivers for my machine and still get the same bug

[campergat]

I honestly don't remember exactly what I did to fix it, but it had something to do with incompatible libraries. I believe I solved this by compiling from source with the libraries I had.

Anyone solved this issue? Thank you!

I am also currently having this issue with ROS Kinetic and Ubuntu 16.04, Using a Pointgrey Flea.
