RVIZ: URDF Model disappears when loaded
I'm trying to load a simple urdf model into rviz. However, when rviz loads, the model is there for a split second, then disappears. All the status read ok, and rviz shows no problems. I can make the model appear, but only if I change the fixed frame to something non-existent, which then produces many issues. The terminal ready no issues either. I've already tried a common solution to export LC_NUMERIC to en_US.UTF-8, but this doesn't fix the issue.
I'm running ROS Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS through a Virtualbox VM on my Lenovo ideapad 330S (Windows 10).
