I came across a segmentation fault while trying rosrun rviz rviz. This issue has been discussed on this web( http://answers.ros.org/question/11376... ), but I think that essential issue has been not solved. The solution in the comment and the answer was to delete all of file in ~/.rviz. I also deleted all of files as I follow the instruction. But, the error doesn't go out.

[ INFO]rviz version 1.10.14
[ INFO]compiled against OGRE version 1.7.4 (Cthugha)
[ INFO]Stereo is NOT SUPPORTED
[ INFO]OpenGl version: 2.1 (GLSL 1.2)
Segmentation fault

I have checked the article ( http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/Troubleshooting ). I can't find the way to solve the issue on the article. Could anyone give me clues? Thank you in advance!

The type of graphics card you use always is crucial when looking at rviz crashes (you can edit your answer to add that information). The rule of thumb is: "Nvdidia GPUs with propietary drivers generally work well, others might crash occasionally (or always in a absolute worst case)". With your GPU and driver known, I´d recommend googling something like "rviz crashes ros answers [your graphics card type]". There are tons of posts on rviz crashes on ROS Answers and it´s likely that there will be useful information in some of them.

@Stefan Kohlbrecher: I was looking over the article on the web(http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/Tutorials/Rviz%20in%20Stereo). Do you think that this contents connects with my issues?

Unless you try something with stereo mode, no. I assume you installed from .deb packages?

I don't make sense, I was googling to search for the cause and how to fix it. I also tried the method on the web (https://github.com/ros-visualization/rviz/issues/713), but segmentation fault didn't go out. I will reinstall.

Hi all,

I spent a load of time fixing these issues. What I realised is that Virtualbox is being a nasty little rascal with it's 3d Acceleration.

Switching if off fixed these issues for me.

Switch off your VM Just go to the VM Settings -> Display -> Uncheck Enable 3D Acceleration. Start your VM again. Rejoice!

I've been bugged by the error with the same message, which recently I've solved in this thread. HTH.
