When I try to run gazebo headless by using this code roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world_no_x.launch I get this error:

[gazebo-2] process has died [pid 5022, exit code 134, cmd /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/scripts/gazebo -r /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo_worlds/worlds/empty.world __name:=gazebo __log:=/home/vishnudev/.ros/log/b75a2a90-0bd5-11e2-a1b8-14feb5ac04ab/gazebo-2.log].
log file: /home/vishnudev/.ros/log/b75a2a90-0bd5-11e2-a1b8-14feb5ac04ab/gazebo-2*.log

Kindly help. When I try this command rosrun gazebo gazebo -r $(rospack find gazebo_worlds)/worlds/empty.world

I get

What's the content of the log file?

Sir, sorry to say I'm unable to open the log file in that location. Such a .ros folder is not to be seen in home directory

Are you absolutely sure? .ros is a hidden folder. Try cat /home/vishnudev/.ros/log/b75a2a90-0bd5-11e2-a1b8-14feb5ac04ab/gazebo-2*.log

Lorenz, sometimes nodes don't actually create the log files that they plan to generate..

That's true, I know. But at least the .ros directory must be there since it is used by all the ROS tools (rosmake, rospack, ...).

sorry, I just get this message on trying the above line of code No such file or directory

Agreed Lorenz. And to be clear... Vishnu, do you have a .ros folder? (ls -l /home/vishnudev/.ros/)

Yes I have a .ros folder. In the folder mentioned in the error I just a find master.log file. I dont need a gazebo2*.log file
