2015-08-20 19:55:26 -0600	asked a question	How can I activate/deactivate sensors in Gazebo? Is it possible, from ROS, to send a message to Gazebo to turn on/off a sensor by name? Peeking at the source code, I see the sensors themselves have a `setActive(bool)` function. Is there an existing way to access this via messages, or would I need to write my own `SensorPlugin`?

2014-07-24 17:40:18 -0600	answered a question	launching gazebo fails with ros-groovy-pr2-interactive-manipulation If you were working on a 32-bit OS, then I believe that is your issue. I have the same issue on all the 32-bit machines in my lab, but not the 64-bit ones. It is also not a problem in later versions of Gazebo; only the one needed by Groovy (1.5).
2014-07-24 17:39:02 -0600	commented question	Gazebo 1.5 ros::InvalidNameException Are you saying here that it worked when you switched to Gazebo 1.3 instead of 1.5? I don't understand what you mean by "changing the resource path".
2014-07-24 17:31:46 -0600	commented answer	After updating to Gazebo 1.3 under ROS Groovy I get a .launch file error Yeah that's referring to a graphics resource name, not a node name. But I think I've recently discovered the source of that error: it's a bug in Gazebo 1.5 on 32-bit machines.

2014-07-09 20:49:40 -0600	commented question	launching gazebo fails with ros-groovy-pr2-interactive-manipulation Did you ever find a solution to this? I've reproduced this issue on 4 machines, while other machines just work, with no explanation at all. Mine also uses the 0018 character code, but it's gazebobo# instead of gazeboeb. It obviously doesn't exist anywhere; my thought is that it's somehow reading the launch files in a corrupted way? But this is only a problem for the gazebo launch files.
2014-07-09 20:10:32 -0600	commented question	Gazebo 1.5 ros::InvalidNameException Did you ever find a solution to this?
2014-07-09 20:00:16 -0600	commented answer	After updating to Gazebo 1.3 under ROS Groovy I get a .launch file error I'm almost positive that's not true.
2014-07-09 19:13:49 -0600	commented question	Gazebo 1.5 crash on startup, InvalidNameException Hi, did you ever find a solution? I have the same `InvalidNameException` for `empty_world` and an SDF parsing error similar to yours with `simple_world` (or any other world with objects in it).
