We’re preparing for the release of Noetic Ninjemys on May 23rd, and would like to ask for your help in testing the pre-release.

# What needs to be tested?

Installation and documentation!

- [ROS Noetic Installation](http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation)
- [ROS Tutorials](http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials)
- Your packages (and if they work, consider releasing them to ROS Noetic)

# How do I get the pre-release?

Add the `ros-testing` apt repo to get the pre-release ROS Noetic Debian packages on Ubuntu Focal or Debian Buster.

```auto
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros-testing/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-testing.list'

```

If you need stable packages, then don’t forget to remove that when you’re done testing!

# What do I do if there is a problem?

1. Software bug?  
Open an issue on any repository you think the bug could be in.  
Also, please ping me ([@sloretz](https://github.com/sloretz/)) on Github so I can at least add it to the Known issues list below.
2. Documentation issue?  
Fix it please 🙂  
Log in to your [ROS wiki account](http://wiki.ros.org/Contributing#wiki) and click “Edit (Text)” on the right side bar.
3. Notice something changed in Noetic?  
Add it to the [Noetic Migration Guide](http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Migration).
4. Not sure if it’s an issue?  
Ask a question on [https://answers.ros.org](https://answers.ros.org) with the `noetic` tag!
5. Something that doesn’t fit any of the above?  
Post it to this thread (but only for the pre-release please; once Noetic is out please use [ROS Answers](http://answers.ros.org/) per the [ROS Contributing docs](http://wiki.ros.org/Contributing)).

Hey

Thanks for the update. I have submitted few issues in Github regarding the

**/usr/bin/env: process[turtle\_pointer-5]: started with pid [4834]**  
**‘python’: No such file or directory**  
issue.

Getting this error in some of the rospy tutorials. Possibly the  
shebang is not replaced with

**#!/usr/bin/env python3**

Thanks! I’m having trouble locating the issues you submitted. Mind posting links to them?

Also, [is this your github account](https://github.com/lentinjoseph)?

Hi @sloretz

Here is the issue with xacro.py

[https://github.com/ros/xacro/issues/237](https://github.com/ros/xacro/issues/237)

Its started working when I change the shebang

to #!/usr/bin/env python3

Please have a look

Regards

I have recently shifted from ROS -Melodic to Noetic. I have a UR5 model in xacro which perfectly gets launched in Noetic with all controllers working. But I don’t see my FT sensor publishing wrench values to ros topic. Is the FT sensor plugin successfully released for Noetic? If not when will it be released? And if it has been released how should I modify my urdf ?

I’m also getting reports of `pluginlib` issues [here](https://github.com/SteveMacenski/spatio_temporal_voxel_layer/issues/167) saying that ` LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.2` is required before launching a process loading certain plugins or else it can’t find the shared libraries.

This hasn’t been an issue in releasing Indigo - Melodic on STVL and similar projects. Perhaps something changed in 20.04?

@Murtaza786-oss I think this is a better question for [https://answers.ros.org](https://answers.ros.org) per the [ROS Contributing docs](http://wiki.ros.org/Contributing). I replied here: [How to use ft\_sensor plugin in ROS-Noetic? - ROS Answers archive](https://answers.ros.org/question/353417/how-to-use-ft_sensor-plugin-in-ros-noetic/?answer=353995#post-id-353995)

Thanks for all the help testing!

Now that [Noetic Ninjemys has been released](http://discourse.ros.org/t/ros-noetic-ninjemys-release/14262/15), please ask questions on [https://answers.ros.org](https://answers.ros.org) when looking for help and open issues on repositories when encountering bugs.
