Rviz crashing (core dumped) when running with Gazebo
Hi to all,
I'm following a tutorial, for which I have to run a launch file that runs Gazebo (with a wold with three robots) and runs also rviz. What happens constantly is that rviz always crashes, while Gazebo keeps running. This happens also if I run rviz from command line with rosrun (while Gazebo is still on), terminating with the message
[ INFO] [1480592319.442365758]: rviz version 1.11.15

Is it possible that my laptop is not powerful enough?
Are you running this in a virtual machine?
No, I'm running everything in a real Ubuntu 14.04. Funny thing is that if I run the same exact launch file on another laptop (definitely less powerful than mine), both gazebo and rviz can live together. I have to imply that there should be other problems on my laptop...
What kind of graphics hw do you have in your laptop? Do you have the proper drivers installed? A laptop I have here (9 years old) prints:
OpenGl version: 3.3 (GLSL 3.3), so theOpenGl version: 3 (GLSL 1.3)is a bit suspicious (you get that when drivers aren't installed).I have a Nvidia GeForce 640M. The drivers are the standard-default ones that come with ubuntu 14.04 (nouveau). I tried installing the proper ones (nvidia-375), but I just messed up xorg (graphic interface wasn't starting anymore). I rolled back, but yet no gazebo and rviz together working.
Well, I think that's your problem. The
nouveauones just aren't up to the task (yet). How did you install the nvidia ones? Via the Additional drivers applet? That should have worked. Running the installer manually isn't really needed on Ubuntu.
