Hi, I try to run gazebo with this: empty_world.launch

roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

Ultimately it crashes like its stated at the end of the following transcript:

alonsoj1@aut-228:~$ roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch ... logging to /home/alonsoj1/.ros/log/8d239006-f3f1-11e0-b383-001617b3a9af/roslaunch-aut-228-1946.log Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile. Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.

I read some threads about this, and most point to the fact that it's a drivers problem, but somehow I doubt that. I had that problem the first time I tried to run gazebo, but then I installed them and everything ran fine. They are still installed (current version of nvidia drivers, ubuntu 10.04LTS), but gazebo doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you sure that the drivers are not the problem? Have you verified that running glxinfo and glxgears produces no errors and show NVIDIA as hardware renderer? (You may have to install the mesa-utils package for these tools)

glxinfo shows this log http://pastebin.com/LBFz26b9 and glxgears produces no errors. How do I install mesa-utils? How is it necessary now when a couple of days I could run it no problem? Thanks!

The obvious reason would be that you upgraded packages on your system and/or changed an Ogre-related configuration file, which fried the installation somehow. You could verify that Ogre itself works by installing something else that uses Ogre. Other than that, I can offer little help, sorry.

Was this issue ever resolved?
