Do you see rviz working (e.g. with a grid) or not? i.e. is the problem that rviz works but nothing is happening, or do you not see anything in rviz.

rviz needs 3D acceleration, so this could be problematic in a virtual machine.

For more details please state exactly what you are doing and seeing, "installed some package", "run them", "got some warning" isn't helpful do debug what is going on.

As you can see the grid and model I will assume that rviz itself is working. I guess therefore there is some misconfiguration. Your setup needs to match the data in the logfile. One error might be that the odom frame for amcl is "world", usually it's odom. What is correct depends on the odom in your logfile.

You can check that amcl is producing something by running rosrun tf tf_echo /map /base_link that should give your the robot pose. If that changes the robot should move.

To test that rviz itself displays correctly you can set the fixed frame to your odom frame and should see odom movement.
