Hi @weiwuhuhu
If you follow distribution_linux.md the following command should solve the problem:
sudo apt-get install librealsense2-dkms

Hej @SuperKuooo ,
if you still care: the topics are being published though.
You can watch the stream with rqt_image_view

Hello, I hade the same problem :
WARNING [...] (ds5-timestamp.cpp:64) UVC metadata payloads not available
[Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 5.0, melodic, D435, firmware 5.12, librealsense2-dkms up-to-date]

I hade no issues until today where I found that the TimeStamp in the depth images published by my camera where stuck in the past.
The stamps were oscillating in the past (not fixed).
Strangely when I added <arg name="filters" default="pointcloud"/> in the launch file, the stamps were good again.

The timestamps issue in kernel 5 could be related to #1047.

I got the similar warning in realsense-viewer with librealsense 2.32.1. I installed the dkms, utils and dev packages. My pc is intel nuc 8 and ubuntu 18.04, kernel 5.3.0-40-generic

Any suggestions?
