Revision history [back]

This isn't enough information to help you (it could segfault for many reasons). If you want to provide more information edit your question (don't post a new answer) please.

A theory as to why it crashes is that rviz uses Qt5 in Kinetic. I don't know what you mean by "panel", but I assume you mean a custom rviz plugin which adds a panel. Make sure your plugin is use Qt5 as well, otherwise it can crash (due to mixing Qt4 and Qt5 runtimes).

For an example of how to make this change to a plugin see:
