Hi, I experienced crashes on gazebo while launching a world file. I will try to be as detailed as I can in describing my question, so bear with me.

I recently tried the updated gazebo plugin tutorial on fuerte. The intro plugin (simple_world_plugin) work well. Encouraged by that, I decided to try to adapt the plugins on gazebo website and run it on ROS.

What I first did was to roscreate a new package (gazebo_plugin2) for the new plugin (model manipulation). The plugin file is exactly the same as the one on the website. Then I added "rosbuild_add_library(gazebo_plugin2 src/ model_push.cc)" to my CMakeLists, and also the <export> lags as described on the Ros gazebo plugin intro tutorial to the manifest.xml. I managed to rosmake the package successfully.

I then proceeded on to creating the world file, I used the world file on gazebo website and make the relevant changes to the <plugin name="">. I used "<plugin name="model_push" filename="libgazebo_plugin2.so"/>", libgazebo_plugin2.so is what is presented in my lib folder.

In the launch file, I modified the original one by changing the first <node name=""> to "<node name="gazebo" pkg="gazebo" type="gazebo" args="$(find gazebo_plugin2)/worlds/model_push.world" respawn="false" output="screen"/>"

After that, I roslaunched the world file, gazebo worked and show me a box being push away. However, if i try to do something to gazebo now, like inserting a new model, gazebo will suddenly crash. Sometime it crash a few minute after running.

The following error are given

  4. Graphic card driver : GeForce 9300M GS/PCIe/SSE2 ( same as graphic card) Experience : fallback
  5. Gazebo version: 1.6.16
  6. Backtrace (I copy the gdb launch file and roslaunch it, this is the way to get backtrace right?)

Hi, can you provide some more information about this crash? Please see http://ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Troubleshooting, thanks.

at the (gdb) prompt, pleast type thread apply all bt, then hit enter. thanks!

Sure. May I also ask how did you format the traceback in my question to the more readable form? I don't want to trouble others to edit for me every time.

if you try to edit your question, you should be able to see. all I did was add 4 spaces before things that should be quoted. (used vi to add the spaces).

Please look at the second update for what happened after I enter thread apply all bt. In addition, when i tried to roslaunch the gdb. launch again, a different outcome occurred with no gdb prompt. It is shown in the 3rd update.

Looking back, I missed the part that says "Exception [Master.cc:69] Unable to start server[Address already in use]", this usually means another instance of gazebo is running. Try this, "killall -9 gzserver gzclient", then relaunch. Also, plz post your launch file. thanks.

For the 3rd update, I shut down and on my PC again before I roslaunched gdb.launch, so i don't think there is another instance of gazebo running. The gdb.launch file is the example gdb launch file on http://ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Troubleshooting.

For the launch file i used in my plugin, please see update 4.

Hi

I have similar issue. I believe this happens when you purposefully shutdown the load up sequence using ctrl-c. Or, while loading you close the terminal window.

Here is the debug info:

roslaunch simBotUnicycle simBotEmptyWorld.launch
