- Host system: Ubuntu 18.04
- Docker: docker-ce + nividia-docker2
- Followed the official [installation guide](https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware/wiki/Generic-x86-Docker) (use case 1)
- The latest master-branch

I was following the [Demo](https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware/wiki/ROSBAG-Demo), and did every step **exactly** as told.

When I try to load the map from _/home/autoware/Autoware/docs/quickstart/my\_map.launch_ it did not load the map, although there was no error message in the terminal. but in `rviz` , under the `Points Raw->Transform` , the error reads: “[sender=unknown\_publisher] For frame [velodyne]: Frame [velodyne] does not exitst”.

------- Further Test ----------  
Trying to load other .launch files gives me error about missing files:

So after some trying I was able to get the map and some of the launch files running:

For `my_localization.launch`, `my_detection.launch` and `my_motion_planning.launch`, I need to change the path to /home/autoware/Autoware/ros/install/runtime\_manager/share/runtime\_manager/ **launch\_files** /xxx.launch

Basically when I source build the Autoware from master-branch, the launch files are in the correct path (namely …/runtime\_manager/ **script** /xxx.launch), but in the docker environment, they are actually under …/runtime\_manager/ **launch\_files** /xxx.launch

So after fixing the path of those 3 launch files mentioned above, I was able to get something like this running in rviz:

 ![rviz_kinda_working](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/ros/original/2X/7/7c2c86caf836c564a9bd874efe4fab9e6bfbbbea.jpeg)

I still cannnot get `my_sensing.launch` and `my_mission_planning.launch` running correctly, so any help or hints would be much appreciated!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I have exactly same issue.  
But I cannot understand how did you solve this problem.  
Can you explain about your tries in more detail? Did you edit the my\_map.launch file?  
I fixed the 3 lauch files, but I wasn’t able the get something like your image.

@Kloping @glen_seo the current master already has those changes implemented, can you check that your local copy of `master` is up to date?

Any hints?

@Kishore_Sheik_Ahamed have you extracted the demo `data` folder into the `.autoware` location?

Thank you for replying!  
Yes I am using the latest `master`, fetched and pulled before doing the Demo. I just checked it again, and it’s still that way.

And I did every step in Demo exactly as told, including extracted the demo `data` folder into the `.autoware` location.

Hi glen, I did not edit `my_map.launch` file. I only edit the 3 launch files mentioned above. One thing might be worth noticing is that, launching `my_map.launch` alone still doesn’t shows the map, I’d have to launch the modified launch files then the map shows.
