rospy logging not printing across computers
The Setup: Two computers, both running various nodes. Computer A is the master where the launch file is run from that launched all the nodes being used. Computer B is a slave running several nodes as directed by Computer A.
The Problem: While running a python node, I noticed that none of the rospy.log*() calls print anything to the screen on A when it is called by a node on B. However calling the rospy logging functions while on A prints on A (I haven't tried checking B, as I'm not sure how to force ROS terminal output).
My Attempts: I've tried all of the logging levels, and manually setting the log level of the node, but no dice. As a workaround I've just been publishing debug information to a topic from the node in B and echoing the topic on A, but this is a messy way to get it done and it would be simpler to just have everything print in the main terminal the launch file is run from.
What does
rxconsoleshow?I can only ssh into the computers, so I can't use and GUI interfaces.
Have you tried
ssh -X?That did the trick, and rxconsole does seem to receive the messages. Thanks.
