icubsrv & icub-head password and the correct env parameter YARP_ROBOT_NAME

[jimingda]

Hi,

Upon running the icubsrv & icub-head nodes following the launch of yarpmanager, I encounter a dialog box requesting me to enter a password as belowed, which was not required previously.

Does anyone know what the issue might be and how to eliminate the need for entering the password?

Additionally, I have another question: What is the correct environmental parameter YARP_ROBOT_NAME for an Ubuntu system on a laptop? Currently my system is icubGazeboSim

Thanks.

Hi @jimingda, ClusterWidget spawn the yarpruns via ssh, if you want to be able to not insert every time the password you have to exchange the public keys between hosts:

Additionally, I have another question: What is the correct environmental parameter YARP_ROBOT_NAME for an Ubuntu system on a laptop? Currently my system is icubGazeboSim

Usually, that variable is used on icub-head, if the laptop is the one used with the robot I advise to use the same YARP_ROBOT_NAME, otherwise it can be left empty
