Known issues

1. Running python gui_robot_backend.py -m=simu causes the following error messages to be printed to the console:

   ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1089:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
   

   This has most likely something to do with gstreamer or opencv. The message does not cause any harm.

2. Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported Something sets the SESSION_MANAGER environmental variable which opencv tries to use. Set the SESSION_MANAGER variable to empty string in terminal to fix the issue. The message does not cause any harm.
