Hi,
$ROS_IP is empty, and $ROS_MASTER_URI is http://localhost:11311.
Actually, this got me thinking... I changed the hostname after
installation, but I only changed it in /etc/hostname, not /etc/hosts,
and thus ROS_MASTER_URI contains localhost instead the actual
hostname.
Now that I changed /etc/hosts accordingly, it works!
Thanks for the hint!
Bye,
Max
