I'm seeing a consistent segfault in stageros on startup seemingly related to blocks. If I remove the block portion of the robot definition it does load but the robot doesn't get hit by laser strikes. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 32bit, and am seeing the same crashes on computers with both AMD and Nvidia GPU's.

The following gdb output was generated while trying to run the roomba_stage tutorial at: https://kforge.ros.org/navigation/tutorials/file/d1f3dda4fd5a/roomba_stage

The segfault occurs in: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLU.so

This doesn't appear to have anything to do with the rangers issue in: http://answers.ros.org/question/33973/stage-error-in-fuerte/?answer=34967#post-id-34967

Do other world files launch without issue?

Yes it has to do with rangers. Your world file define a laser but in stage 4.0 there are no more laser devices. They are all rangers now.

I've tried other worlds and they have the same issue. Pablo stop, if you'd look at the world file I'm launching you'd see that it has changed all the Laser's to Rangers.

Note that if I run stage with the -g option to disable graphics this crash is avoided

kbogert gravatar image kbogert  ( 2012-10-19 08:41:04 -0500 )edit

to be clear, you're using an NVIDIA card and this isn't a virtual card correct?

It would be easier to help you if you post hear your world file, of course. But I can see 4 warning messages in your trace that are related to the new syntax for lasers. I recommend you to fix them just to be sure that the problem is not there.

It appears the problem is that in the stage world files the block sections are missing the z parameter. See: https: //github.com/rtv/Stage/issues/31

So I prevented the crash by adding:

z [0 .32]

to the stage world file's block section linked in the original question up top.

I had a similar issue with stage throwing a SegFault with an old world file (even after updating laser -> ranger).

The cause was (as mentioned by kbogert) the Z dimension was set to 0 on the robot.
