rviz Window Does Not Open

edit

I have installed ros and trying to start the moveit tutorials, but when I run ros the rviz window does not open and there are no obvious error messages.

I am using an Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS 64-bit virtual machine.

I followed these Debian installation instructions: https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Insta... and the talker and listener test worked fine.

I then followed these instructions: https://moveit.picknik.ai/humble/doc/...

I did find that I had to do the following which were not listed on that page:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/ros/humble/lib/
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/ros/humble/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

This is the command I am running:

$ ros2 launch moveit2_tutorials demo.launch.py rviz_tutorial:=true

and no rviz window appears. The tail end of the output is below (not enough 'points' to attach text files).

To make sure graphics were working I installed glxgears and that runs fine with 65 FPS.

These are now the additional lines in my .bashrc

source ~/ws_moveit2/install/setup.bash
export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/ros/humble/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/ros/humble/lib/

Any ideas what step I am missing? Thanks! Andy
