At the very beginning, the PC cannot be started, after remove the memory and plug back to the slot, the PC could be started. When I run some code, the rviz cannot be started, then I check the RVIZ alone, but it failed again. Corresponding terminal shows as the following:

rct@rct-desktop:~$ rosrun rviz rviz GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/glib/gmem.c:137: failed to allocate 251658321 bytes aborting... Aborted rct@rct-desktop:~$ exitallelujah@allelujah-desktop:~/datarecord/rviz$

Sorry that there is no room to reply to wiki, but to update the software does not work. I think Lorenz could be right, I will clear the memory manually. THX

I don't think this is really a problem with ROS or rviz. Rather, I think you might have a broken memory module that reduces the amount of RAM that is available. It seems like rviz is just unable to allocate enough memory.

First try,

Then run $ rosrun rviz rviz.
