gazebo7 crashes at startup (kinetic + lubuntu16)
Hello,
I have followed the installation of ros kinetic for xenial 32bit ( http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... ). Everything went fine, I can start turtlesim and play around with nodes and messages.
My problem is with gazebo7: it simply won't start. I even installed gazebo_rox_pkg ( http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ro... ) but nothing changes. It is even difficult to figure out what is going on, as I do not get much error information.
For instance, when I execute: $ rosrun gazebo_ros gazebo
I simply get this:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/gazebo_ros/gazebo: 46: kill: invalid signal number or name: SIGINT
The same happens if I decide to run gzserver
and then gzclient
(with the exception that I do not receive the SIGINT error message).
I run all this on an old (2010) pc:

please first install a proper graphics driver. If your system has an Nvidia card, install the Nvidia drivers, for AMD, install the AMD/ATI drivers. This may not solve your problem, but it's worth making sure.
