Now I can get the dashboard pulled up on my turtle bot computer, but not my workstation. In addition, I have no idea how to change the ROS Master URI to the TurtleBot. Please help, I think I am almost at the point to start working on my robotics project!

Watch the TurtleBot dashboard video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDU1Wc9SO7Q.
To set your ROS_MASTER_URI
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<TURTLEBOT_IP>:11311
replace < TURTLEBOT_IP > with the IP address of the TurtleBot
to determine the IP address of the TurtleBot
ifconfig
you should see something similar to:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

in the above case < TURTLEBOT_IP >=10.0.129.60

You can get better performance in X forwarding by also enabling compression with -C, e.g.: ssh -XC turtlebot.

to install your ROS on your ubuntu workstation follow the instructions here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/Robots/TurtleBot/diamondback/SDK%20Setup/Ubuntu%20Deb

Woo! It's working now with the -X command. Thank you so much!

Would I just install the desktop one with " sudo service apt-get ros-diamondback-turtlebot-desktop "?
Comment by mmwise on 2011-09-09:
ahhh you're trying to view the dashboard over ssh.. typically you would install ros-diamondback-turtlebot-desktop on your workstation computer and run the dashboard locally (on the workstation computer) in order to do it over ssh you need to to X forwarding by doing ssh -X when ssh-ing

" Unable to access the X Display, is $DISPLAY set properly?", when I type "rosrun turtlebot_dashboard turtlebot_dashboard&". What is wrong?

@mwise_wg It has helped me set the URI, but I still can't get the dashboard to open on my workstation. I get the message
