Hi,

I downloaded ros:indigo-ros-core-trusty from dockerhub and installed rviz for indigo. But I cannot start rviz in the new terminal. I have tried the method from http://wiki.ros.org/docker/Tutorials/GUI . But rviz still does not work.

The error is like this:

...

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

rviz::RenderSystem: error creating render window: std::exception

[ WARN] [1539299284.774409653]: OGRE EXCEPTION(2:InvalidParametersException): Window with name 'OgreWindow(0)' already exists in GLRenderSystem::_createRenderWindow at /build/buildd/ogre-1.8-1.8.1+dfsg/RenderSystems/GL/src/OgreGLRenderSystem.cpp (line 1038)

...

Could anyone help me ?

As per your error message above, rviz is attempting to make use of OpenGL for 3D rendering. Depending on your host setup, you may need to enable hardware acceleration into the container to make use of OpenGL dependant applications.
