Hi guys, When I want to run empty rviz (rosrun rviz rviz) I get the following error rviz: cannot connect to X server. Do somebody know what to do?

Thanks!

I guess you do not have an X server running. Are you maybe trying to run it inside an ssh connection or not inside a terminal in a graphical environment such as Ubuntu's Unity?

If you want to run rviz locally but visualize data from a robot, just set the variable ROS_MASTER_URI on your pc correctly. Have a look here for more information.

Lorenz thanks for the tip. I totally forgot that I was in the ssh connection trying to run rviz.
