gazebo hangs loading turtlebot world (skipping xml document gmapping)

edit

Hi!

I'm trying to run turtlebot_gazebo in kinetic. Gazebo starts, but wait forever (I have both the main window and the splash screen).

Here are the logs:

$ roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch

Thanks for you help!

Edit: I just noticed that if I let it run for a while, I get the following additional log:
