This approach has worked for me after multiple installs and uninstalls finally. If you are using VirtualBox for running ubuntu just disable 3D acceleration from settings for your version. This solved the problem gazebo along with rViz which were crashing (un)expectedly. Although it did make the system slow. You can't have both at once. Hope this helps!!
