Revision history [back]

The rviz config file format changed between groovy and fuerte. If you are familiar with rviz, you can recreate the config file. Basically close the rviz that is launched (a bad config file hoses it) and start a new one with rosrun rviz rviz. Add a robot model, a grid and set the fixed frame to base link. Also, please submit a bug.
