– Found Java: /usr/bin/java (found version “11.0.28”)
– ROMFS: ROMFS/px4fmu_common
Architecture: amd64
==> CPACK_INSTALL_PREFIX = @DEB_INSTALL_PREFIX@
– Configuring done

i tried this command : mamad@mamadPC:~/Desktop$ ros2 launch px4_offboard offboard_velocity_control.launch.py
by a tutorial on YT , and it showed me the rviz simulation but not the gazebo sim (unlike the tutorial!) i have faced this error in downloading px4 but i ignored it . what to do now?

Missing git submodules maybe?

I’m not sure .. i just followed the
GitHub - artastier/PX4_Swarm_Controller: The aim of this ROS2 package is to facilitate the implementation of a drone swarm controller through simulation on Gazebo.

And chatgpt and other Ai tools didn’t help me thou🥲

Well, try git submodule update --init --recursive within the PX4-Autopilot folder.

I think your error was caused by git. Maybe you can download PX4 code again, and delete the former code.
try the command

git clone https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ./PX4-Autopilot/Tools/setup
./ubuntu.sh --no-nuttx
