moveit demo.launch, rviz initializing forever

Hi everyone, here is my problem:

I setup my model using the setup assistant of moveit. Everything seems to work. I export the package, save it under src/ in the catkin_ws/. Then I run "roslaunch my_package demo.launch" .

Here the process starts until the terminal says in green " You can start planning now! " The RViz initializing picture is freezed forever.

However, I get in the terminal "[INFO] [1498661559]: MoveGroup context initialization complete".

What do you think about that? is my PC not strong enough or do I have another problem? Thank you in advance, Stefano

Details:

-I can run RViz stand-alone, no problem.

-I am using a 4 years old laptop, intel i3 quadcore 2.53GHz, geforce 610M.

-I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed by a friend's usb flashkey

-can I run gazebo if the grafics drivers are not installed?

Complete terminal:

Can you run RViz stand-alone? What sort of hardware are you using? A regular desktop PC, a raspberry pi, something else? Which Linux version is this, how did you install it, do you have the graphics drivers for your video card installed? Please edit your question and add these details.

I made my robot model using the setup assistant as well. The next message I get after the "You can start planning now" is "loading robot model mybot". So maybe there is something wrong with your robot model. Did you write the urdf file yourself? Have you successfully included it in setup assistant?

@gvdhoorn: Thanks for guiding my question. I updated it.

@felix : Yeah, I dont get "loading robot model mybot". I made the urdf file using the SolidWorks plug-in "export to urdf". I included it successfully in the setup assistant, i can move my joints and see my model. How ever I have some warnings

I corrected the errors in the warnings. I have no more warnings. Still no response from RViz. I hope i don't have to reinstall ros ^^.

can I run gazebo if the grafics drivers are not installed

sometimes. It won't run very well, but it'll probably produce some image.

It might help if you copy-paste the complete terminal output into your question (use the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it)). Can you tell us anything about the model you're trying to load? How big are the meshes? If they are too detailed, loading can be very slow.

gvdhoorn gravatar image gvdhoorn  ( 2017-06-28 13:15:00 -0500 )edit

in the options within the SlidWorks plug-in I could choose corse meshes or fine meshes. I choose fine... How ever I dont get until the "loading robot model mybot" phase (see terminal in the updated question). In addition i left my computer loading for 3-4 hours with no results.

stefano gravatar image stefano  ( 2017-06-28 13:34:18 -0500 )edit

I am going to try anyway with a corse meshing. I keep you updated.

stefano gravatar image stefano  ( 2017-06-28 13:36:27 -0500 )edit

This has probably nothing to do with your problem, but:

MoveGroup debug mode is ON

did you enable this yourself?

gvdhoorn gravatar image gvdhoorn  ( 2017-06-28 13:40:57 -0500 )edit

nope, I did not enable anything. how to disable it?

I now tried with a corse mesh but the result is the same.

stefano gravatar image stefano  ( 2017-06-28 18:13:52 -0500 )edit

Well, by default debug:=false in demo.launch, so I'm wondering how it says 'ON' if that hasn't changed. Can you check demo.launch?

gvdhoorn gravatar image gvdhoorn  ( 2017-06-29 01:32:17 -0500 )edit

I updated the question with the demo.launch. It seems ok " debug="false".

Now when I roslaunch the demo.launch I have to more lines in the terminal (in addition to the terminal I posted). One is saying [INFO] [1498722837.712557891]: Stereo is NOT SUPPORTED

Guys the problem was the nvidia optimus as gvdhoorn said. I switched the driver from "nvidia binary driver" to "Nouveau display driver (open source)". Now it works fine. So the file were not the problem. Thanks again for your help. It makes things really easier. Have a good day <3

If you have the chance -- and the perseverance -- I would really recommend you try to figure out a way to get optimus to work properly: the nouveau drivers really don't cut it when you start working with any 'real' ROS applications, especially not when you start visualising a lot of data in RViz.
