If your docker container hangs, or complains that no display is available, even though you have an xvfb-run entrypoint, you probably need a custom init handler:

# use custom init handler so that xvfb-run is executed properly
# alternatively use docker --init, but that doesnt work in k8s
ENV TINI_VERSION v0.19.0
ADD https://github.com/krallin/tini/releases/download/${TINI_VERSION}/tini /tini
RUN chmod +x /tini

ImportError: No module named catkin

generate_cached_setup.py:

try:
    from catkin.environment_cache import generate_environment_script
except ImportError:
    # search for catkin package in all workspaces and prepend to path
    for workspace in ''.split(';'):

python_path = os.path.join(workspace, 'lib/python3/dist-packages')

What to do if Intellisense always hangs? Use clangd instead: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd

rosversion roslaunch can't locate [roslaunch]

RLException: Invalid tag: Cannot load command parameter [rosversion]

You can't start a roscore anymore, because rosversion can't find roslaunch?

Try roscd <some_package> with a package you know you have installed.
If that doesn't work and if your ROS_ env variables are all set correctly, check rospack profile.
If that doesn't yield a list of directories like below, check if your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH contains a lone package.xml amidst the packages. For some reason, such a lone package.xml will prevent rospack from looking into the other folders, and thus it won't discover your installed modules.

Following situation: You have your own CMake Library, that depends on nanogui (probably same for other libs)
