Problem with Indigo and Gazebo 2.2

edit

For error

Error [Param.cc:181] Unable to set value [1,0471975511965976] for key[horizontal_fov]
Error [Param.cc:181] Unable to set value [0,100000001] for key[near]

Workaround: $ export LC_NUMERIC=C or you might want to add that line to your ~/.bashrc.

But the problem with "namespace not found", I had the same. Two days ago I installed ros indigo -> gazebo -> gazebo_ros plugin and kobuki_gazebo, everything ok. Now I reinstall them, with the bit different: first gazebo -> then ros indigo... and I encounter errors like you

Sorry for my bad English :P

UPDATE

Finally I got it! Gazebo try to collect models from http://gazebosim.org/models but there 's something wrong... the folder ~/.gazebo/models does not exist and Gazebo simulator can not start. Here's a bit more simple solution: run $ wget -r -R "index\.html*" http://old.gazebosim.org/models/

to get all models from gazebosim and copy them into ~/.gazebo/models folder (after you mkdir models inside ~/.gazebo) and everything will be ok.

UPDATE 2

See @Juni answer for better way to download models.

Okay I have a workaround similar to one devised earlier:

sudo gedit /usr/share/gazebo-2.2/setup.sh

well it would look something like this:

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11345
export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://gazebosim.org/models
export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/share/gazebo-2.2:/usr/share/gazebo_models
export GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gazebo-2.2/plugins
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gazebo-2.2/plugins
export OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.8.0

you must change the "GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI" to http://models.gazebosim.org and that's it.

I think what it does is it starts looking for namespaces on the website that you mentioned in setup.sh and then, if matched, it fetches the required models.

The same problem I faced after the fresh installation of indigo. So, in home folder, press ctrl+h to see the hidden files. Then find the .gazebo file and copy the gazebo "models" file from the internet. And it worked for me.

Gazebo needs to find models, the download link in 2.2 is no longer valid, so it can't download and find the models. You can manually download the models from https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_mod... , extract it in ~/.gazebo/models/

Hallo I have the same problem. Unfortunately, none of your solutions work for me.

And the content of the setup.sh

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11345
export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://gazebosim.org/models
export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/share/gazebo-2.2:/usr/share/gazebo_models
export GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gazebo-2.2/plugins
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gazebo-2.2/plugins
export OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.8.0

Then for me everything looks fine, but it does't work.

Perhaps any of you has a idea to solve my problem.

Is it a problem with ubuntu 14.04.2 or with virtual box?

I am surprised that this problem has not occurred more often.

Did you try setting the environment variables for gazebo? I had the same problem too.

I disconnected to Internet and worked well. but i dont know why but there's a connection problem ;-0

or edited both /usr/share/gazebo-2.2/setup.sh /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh

from

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11345 export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://gazebosim.org/models

to

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI="" export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=""

and

$ source /usr/share/gazebo-2.2/setup.sh

then worked fine
