I was trying to run a 3D simulation with a depth and point cloud camera and gazebo would not start. It just gave me the following error message:

[gazebo-2] process has died [pid 17326, exit code 139, cmd /opt/ros/melodic/lib/gazebo_ros/gzserver --verbose -e ode worlds/empty_underwater.world __name:=gazebo __log:=/home/makinohara/.ros/log/317cf8d0-05d2-11eb-84f1-000c29b81a2f/gazebo-2.log].
log file: /home/makinohara/.ros/log/317cf8d0-05d2-11eb-84f1-000c29b81a2f/gazebo-2*.log

I tried to look for the log file but could not find it in the log folder. I am wondering how can I identify what's the cause for gazebo crashing.

Here is how I implemented the sensor

@MakinoharaShouko Since the thing that is crashing is gzserver, I am sure this is something related with your world (empty_underwater.world) having something bad instantiated or any bad tag.

@Weasfas I am not sure if there is something wrong with the world. The world has been working fine until I changed the camera. And after changing back to the original camera the gazebo launched without any error.

I found that the camera type should be changed to "depth". Now I am not seeing the error and the topics are published properly.
