Hi @arunava_nag, thanks for the report.
I couldn't reproduce the original Qt issue but could reproduce the ROS1 error.

Also, I was trying out the dummy_robot demo and I have to do:

ros2 run ros1_bridge dynamic_bridge --bridge-all-2to1-topics

for terminal 2 section in wiki.

It will not work for me as shown in the wiki:

dynamic_bridge --bridge-all-2to1-topics.

You're totally right, The wiki has been updated to reflect the new executable location.

Additionally in Rviz (ROS1) it throws error with the RobotModel visualizatin .

I could reproduce this indeed. Though these meshes are not necessary to visualize the robot and by setting the Fixed Frame to "world" I could display the robot model with all the links and associated meshes.

At some point I had some missing transforms as well. It looks like only the `/tf_static` topic had data but I didnt receive anything on `/tf` (on the ROS2 side so nothing was bridged on the ROS 1 side). Killing and restarting the `dummy_robot_bringup.py` launch file fixed it.


In RViz2 it worked out of the box by simply running the dummy_robot_bringup launchfile in a terminal and RViz2 in a second terminal.

Hope this helps,
