Hello, I had the same issue that the interactive marker of the end effector for the UR5 robotic arm was not visible. Moreover, I have seen a warning as follows:
[ WARN] Skipping virtual joint 'fixed_base' because its child frame 'pedestal_base_link' does not match the URDF frame 'world'
I think this warning was not very important for my case. After trying different solutions recommended on this page, I have found a simple solution that worked for me. I decided to post it here in case anyone has the same issue as me.
For my case, the problem was the interactive marker size in rviz (I don't know why it was zero by default). By just setting its size (motion planning > planning request > Interactive Marker Size = 0.2) the problem is solved for me.
I hope that this solution saves someone else's time.
