rviz process has died.
I run the rviz and it is wrong. I use ubuntu 14.04 indigo.
[rviz-5] process has died [pid 10735, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/indigo/lib/rviz/rviz -d /home/andy/catkin_ws/src/ceshi/launch/display.vcg __name:=rviz __log:=/home/andy/.ros/log/c45a8ee0-02af-11e6-9049-e09467d421dc/rviz-5.log].

It looks like you're using a vcg file, which is the older rviz config format. Which version of ROS are you using?
In addition to what @ahendrix asked: this is most likely not all output that RViz produced. Did it print any warnings or errors before it exited?
indigo. The vcg file is the older rviz config format,and I do not know how to change it to the rviz file. I just started learning ROS, and I can not find the tutorial that how to write the rviz file. Can you tell some website that about rviz tutorial?
There is not other warinings or errors before it exited.
See if it starts if you remove the
argsattribute on therviznode in your launch file. If it does, it's most likely the old version config file that is causing this.I remove the rviz node and it is ok. And I do not know how to write a .rviz file because the .vcg file is a example. Do you know where can I learn how to write a .rviz file?
No, you shouldn't remove the rviz node, just remove the
argsattribute, so it doesn't try to load the.vcgfile. And you don't need to write a.rvizby hand, it's automatically generated by RViz if you save the window configuration.
