When you do that, you should see a text file kind of icon on the desktop instead of the logo of the application.

Next you should go ahead and learn how to use the workspace. Go to Files -> Other Location -> Computer. home/youruser/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/kinetic/share To make sure your workspace is properly overlayed by the setup script, make sure ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable includes the directory you're in. Before continuing source your new setup.*sh file: To understand more about this see the general catkin documentation: catkin. Sourcing any of these files will overlay this workspace on top of your environment. Inside the 'devel' folder you can see that there are now several setup.*sh files. Multi monitors add-on gives control over top panel functionality and.

You may then proceed to use just catkin_make for subsequent builds.Īdditionally, if you look in your current directory you should now have a 'build' and 'devel' folder. I installed following extensions through Ubuntu Software app: Workspace grid returns support for grid of workspaces (since 20.04 I use Workspaces Matrix) No topleft hot corner disables opening Activities when accidentally cursor is positioned in top left corner of display. There doesnt appear to be a default keyboard shortcut for this yet.

Press Windows key + Tab to bring up the workspaces and drag the application you wish to move to the virtual desktop you wish to move it to. This will configure catkin_make with Python 3. You can move an application from one workspace to another. I see that every workspace I create is named: Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc. The Workspace Matrix extension takes up the job and so far supports for Gnome Shell up to version 3.34. I decided today to use workspaces on Ubuntu 20.04. The Workspace Grid gnome shell extension does the job, it is however seems to be not maintained anymore. Python 3 users in ROS Melodic and earlier: note, if you are building ROS from source to achieve Python 3 compatibility, and have setup your system appropriately (ie: have the Python 3 versions of all the required ROS Python packages installed, such as catkin) the first catkin_make command in a clean catkin workspace must be: $ catkin_make -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 This is another tutorial about how to arrange workspaces in a two dimensional grid (2×2, 2×3, 3×3, etc.) in Ubuntu 18.04 and higher.
