# ZED Isaac™ ROS Troubleshooting

Please refer to the following troubleshooting tips if you encounter issues while using the ZED nodes with the NVIDIA® Isaac™ ROS packages.

## I cannot start the ZED ROS 2 node

If you try to start the ZED ROS 2 node and it fails with an error message like this:

```bash
[component_container_isolated-3] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
[component_container_isolated-3]   what():  intraprocess communication allowed only with volatile durability
[ERROR] [component_container_isolated-3]: process has died [pid 1339364, exit code -6, cmd '/opt/ros/humble/lib/rclcpp_components/component_container_isolated --use_multi_threaded_executor --ros-args --log-level info --ros-args -r __node:=zed_container -r __ns:=/zed'].
```

then you have not disabled the IPC (Intra Process Communication) in the ZED ROS 2 node configuration:

```bash
ros2 launch zed_wrapper zed_camera.launch.py camera_model:=<your_camera_model> enable_ipc:=false
```
