I had a similar problem under Ubuntu 11.04 with Nvidia Quadro FX 770M.

When I try the spawn PR2 and pendulum tutorials under ros-electric, I get the same error message which kills gazebo: "unable to receive data from sender, check sender's logs for details"

However, I am able to see empty_world.launch in gazebo, and I am sure I have installed the pr2-simulator package. A friend of mine has the same laptop, ubuntu and ros version and gets the same error.

After installing ros-diamondback and sourcing the diamondback setup.bash, the two tutorials mentioned above work. Maybe someone can post in the corresponding wiki's that it only works for ros-diamondback? So if you have a similar problem, try if installing ros-diamondback also solves your problem.

UPDATE: it seems that there is a new release of ros-electric-pr2-desktop, because after reinstalling 200MB was replaced, the pr2 tutorial works now, the pendulum tutorials are not updated yet?
