Hello all,

I am using Ros indigo on Ubuntu 14.04 For some reason I cannot start Gazebo. When I execute gazebo on terminal, it opens the window but after some seconds, it terminates and closes the window. I tried to update Gazebo from 2.2 to 2.2.6 as stated in http://answers.ros.org/question/19940... I also installed gtk2-engines but none of them worked. I suspect that it is because of my old graphics card Intel 945GM but I am not sure.

Here is my terminal output:

yusuf@yusuf-HP-Pavilion-dv6000-RD870AV-ABA:~$ gazebo

Content of my /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh:

Thanks in advance, Yusuf

I have found a solution to the problem I mentioned. It may not be the best solution, however. Run the command below before running gazebo

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

This resolves the issue with hardware acceleration, but gazebo may work slower depending on your machine
