gazebo-gui-3 process has died
I'm using ROS noetic on Ubuntu 20, trying to run the command "roslaunch package spawn.launch" after doing "source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash" and "source devel/setup.bash". I get the following:
"[INFO] [1603291907.439879200]: waitForService: Service [/gazebo_gui/set_physics_properties] has not been advertised, waiting..
Aborted (core dumped)
[gazebo_gui-3] process has died [pid 6432, exit code 134, cmd /opt/ros/noetic/lib/gazebo_ros/gzclient __name:=gazebo_gui __log:=/home/araff/.ros/log/ed9e1bec-13ac-11eb-94b0-80ce6246ff47/gazebo_gui-3.log].
log file: /home/araff/.ros/log/ed9e1bec-13ac-11eb-94b0-80ce6246ff47/gazebo_gui-3*.log"
After which the process gets stuck. I've tried uninstalling ros and reinstalling, nothing seems to work. As a sidenote, when I try to simply run the command "gazebo", I don't get any error messages but nothing actually happens.

You'll need to post the package and content of
spawn.launch
to get help for why gazebo is crashing. If you don't want to do that, I recommend passing the--verbose
flag to gazebo to see console output. https://answers.gazebosim.org//questi...It might be helpful to launch gazebo in gdb to see where it's crashing #q47210
When I run gazebo --verbose I get the following errors and warnings:
[Err] [RenderEngine.cc:744] Can't open display:
[Wrn] [RenderEngine.cc:87] Unable to create X window. Rendering will be disabled
[Wrn] [RenderEngine.cc:287] Cannot initialize render engine since render path type is NONE. Ignore this warning ifrendering has been turned off on purpose.
[Wrn] [GuiIface.cc:119] could not connect to display
[Msg] Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
[Err] [GuiIface.cc:123] This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.
Ah yeah, oops no need to look at the launch file. Something seems messed up with the machine. You might find more info from this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/30812...
What's the output of
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 gazebo --verbose
?Basically the [Guilface.cc:123] error from the previous comment, and the error message about reinstalling the application, though I have tried this already. Guilface.cc:111 works though. The output is too large to put in a comment and I don't have the permissions to add images, sorry
