Gazebo not opening in ROS kinetic and Ubuntu 16.04

I have installed ros kinetic in Ubuntu 16.04(Xenial) after adding the repos n exactly as said in wiki-ros page(http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu). The final step was ""sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full"". In terminal when I run $ gazebo, the gazebo 7 window (yellow color) comes up for a long time and it fails to launch the simulation window. Any mistakes that I am doing? Pls help

If you'd like help. Please edit your question to include console outputs, the log files for your runs, maybe some screenshots so we can know what's happening on your system. Also please include your platform specifications.

You could try running Gazebo in verbose mode (gazebo --verbose) to see if any errors are printed out.

The first time you run Gazebo, it may download a couple of models from the internet, so it might take a while depending on your connection.

Please post this as a new question. Seeing as this is really a Gazebo problem, please post this over at answers.gazebosim.org.

Also: I don't believe your issue is the same as the one reported by the OP.
