I would propose to install Ubuntu without virtualization.

from sick_tim.

I got to fix the above problem but now a new problem occurs.
when running: roslaunch /usr/lib/sick_tim/launch/sick_mrs1000.launch
i get the following error:

`dvzijl@dvzijl-VirtualBox:~$ roslaunch /usr/lib/sick_tim/launch/sick_mrs1000.launch
