Hi,

I'm currently working with a Robot (Summit-XL), but rviz won't start properly. The robot works with Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS kinetic. After not being used for several years, I did update a lot of packages and now Rviz won't start properly. I start it with rosrun rviz rviz and only get the following output:

rosrun rviz rviz 
[ INFO] [1654845857.393027136]: rviz version 1.12.17 
[ INFO] [1654845857.393129486]: compiled against Qt version 5.5.1
[ INFO] [1654845857.393165914]: compiled against OGRE version 1.9.0 (Ghadamon)
[ INFO] [1654845857.960120450]: Stereo is NOT SUPPORTED 
[ INFO] [1654845857.960613962]: OpenGl version: 3 (GLSL 1.3).

After this, I can see the Rviz-Badge in the Sidebar, but won't be able to open it. It seems to be stuck at this point.

Doing -debug won't give me further information:

rosrun --debug rviz rviz

Anyone keen to help?

Can you add the output to your question instead of comment? and tell us what you tried, and what worked and what not: be specific as told in the guidelines. now you tell us that it started after the update of packages it is most likely that you updated a dependency.

I think your issue has been addressed before and was solved here from this post. In the near future, before you post your problem as a question, please check if it was posted on this forum first, then try the solution, and if it still doesn't work. Make sure to state it and provide the required information.

Do you have roscore running?

You could also try and see if removing the default configuration of RViz will help. Press ctrl+h in your home screen, then you should see a .rviz folder and a file called default.rviz. See if it's fixed if you remove that.

Finally, obligatory kinetic has reached EOL in April of 2021 (over a year ago). Something might have simply broken. Summit-XL seems to have a melodic branch on GitHub, so you might simply have to consider upgrading to melodic instead.

Hi, thanks for the tips. We are considering upgrading because of a bunch of other problems, so I hope this will fix it
