Gazebo - black screen on VirtualBox 6.1.0 [closed]

edit

Hey,

When I want to launch Gazebo (from PX4) from this script:

#!/bin/bash
# run multiple instances of the 'px4' binary, but w/o starting the simulator.
# It assumes px4 is already built, with 'make px4_sitl_default'

# The simulator is expected to send to TCP port 4560+i for i in [0, N-1]
# For example gazebo can be run like this:
#./Tools/gazebo_sitl_multiple_run.sh -n 10 -m iris

function cleanup() {
    pkill -x px4
    pkill gzclient
}

if [ "$1" == "-h" ] || [ "$1" == "--help" ]
then
    echo "Usage: $0 [-n <num_vehicles>] [-m <vehicle_model>]"
    exit 1
fi

while getopts n:m: option
do
    case "${option}"
    in
        n) NUM_VEHICLES=${OPTARG};;
        m) VEHICLE_MODEL=${OPTARG};;
    esac
done

num_vehicles=${NUM_VEHICLES:=3}
export PX4_SIM_MODEL=${VEHICLE_MODEL:=iris}

if [ "$PX4_SIM_MODEL" != "iris" ]
then
    echo "Currently only iris vehicle model is supported!"
    exit 1
fi

    echo "Spawning ${PX4_SIM_MODEL}_${n}"

    gz model --spawn-file=/tmp/${PX4_SIM_MODEL}_${n}.urdf --model-name=${PX4_SIM_MODEL}_${n} -x 0.0 -y ${n} -z 0.0

    popd &>/dev/null

    n=$(($n + 1))
done

trap "cleanup" SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT

echo "Starting gazebo client"
gzclient

I end with black world view; weirdly, when I run Gazebo by clicking at icon, everything renders OK...
