Revision history [back]

I have a similar problem. Usually point clouds are not published. If I keep re-starting I can sometimes get point clouds rendered for a glorious 4-5 seconds before they stop publishing. My intuition tells me there's a race condition/deadlock somewhere, but I have no idea where to start looking because there are no useful error messages.

I will try 64-bit Ubuntu, but that's annoying.
