Hello again! I am currently on unit 2 of this course and it seems that the VM won’t let me save the new config for rviz in the default location and can only save .rviz files in my user folder. This wouldn’t be an issue however I don’t know how to get the new rviz file to launch in the launch file. I’d really appreciate the help because otherwise I will have to do the same steps everytime I load rviz. Thanks!

Hey Enrico!

Could you please be more explicit so we know exactly what is happening and what you want?

1. Where is the `rviz` config getting saved for you now?
2. Where do you want to be saved?
3. Where do you call “default location”?

I don’t understand what you mean here. Which `rviz` files are you trying to launch?
