Re: [ros-users] "could not find common time"-problem with tf

Hi Sabrina,
Could you check some of the debugging outputs from tf. There are debugging
methods here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/tf/Debugging%20tools Of particular
interest is the output of view_frames.

Also, are you running in simulation? If so do you have /using_sim_time set
to true? This can cause a race condition at startup and cause the "no
common time" error. See documentation here http://www.ros.org/wiki/Clock
