Building a Visual Robot Model with URDF from Scratch tutorial: rviz error
In the "Building a Visual Robot Model with URDF from Scratch" tutorial I run into the following error:
[rviz-3] process has died [pid 5506, exit code -11, cmd /opt/ros/groovy/lib/rviz/rviz -d /opt/ros/groovy/stacks/robot_model_tutorials/urdf_tutorial/urdf.rviz __name:=rviz __log:=/home/elim323/.ros/log/b2f9416e-003c-11e3-8e43-74e50bf0806c/rviz-3.log]. log file: /home/elim323/.ros/log/b2f9416e-003c-11e3-8e43-74e50bf0806c/rviz-3*.log
even after including the "urdf.rviz" file and changing both launch files ("display.launch" and "xacrodisplay.launch") to specify "rviz" instead of "vcg" as shown in the updated urdf_tutorial files posted on github.
Is there something I am missing?

Are you doing joint state publications? If so, please provide more info... Which operating system and ROS distro do you employ?

I think I am doing joint state publications according to the tutorial (sorry still new to ROS and terminology). I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ROS Groovy. I have installed the joint_state_publisher and the urdf_tutorial packages and have followed the tutorial until "roslaunch urdf_tutorial display.launch model:=01-myfirst.urdf" where it then briefly shows what I believe is a blank splash screen for rviz before closing and giving the error shown above.
