### Velodyne Trick Tips

- Use Wireshark to get source IP Address

- If sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.100 doesn't work use: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.255

- Source IP for my test LIDAR was: sudo route add 192.168.1.201 eth

- Make sure you check the stati IP assignment works: ifconfig -a

   - You can the static IP and set the route while Gazebo is running

- Use: ip route list  to check assigned IP routes

Other causes might be due to the .Xauthority file, or lightdm



[AskUbuntu: I am logged out immediately after logging in.](http://askubuntu.com/questions/367260/i-am-logged-out-immediately-after-logging-in).



It might be helpful to check the .xsession-errors file.

```

$ vi ~/.xsession-errors

```
