Hi,

I am not able to get Rviz to run

When I type in terminal:

rosrun rviz rviz

I get :

(rviz:9663): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_settings_set_long_property: assertion `GTK_SETTINGS (settings)' failed

(rviz:9663): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_settings_set_long_property: assertion `GTK_SETTINGS (settings)' failed

and nothing happen.

Any clues ??

EDIT:

@dgossow I think Gazebo is gtk based. I get the same gtk-critical stuff but it works fine.

I typed the command you wrotte, and it does not even want to halt when I press ctrl-c :

Please run rviz in gdb (gdb /opt/ros/groovy/lib/rviz/rviz, on the gdb shell enter run), then ctrl-c it and provide a backtrace of where it is stuck (bt).

@dgossow when I run it from gdb without roscore it starts and tell me waiting for master. If I run roscore : sometimes it doesn't start, it give the same gtk-critical msgs and when I ctrl-c it I get : Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xb4de777f in ?? () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.

Disable desktop effects before running RViz. Also, you need to type run in gdb to actually start RViz.

@dgossow I appreciate your help, but disabling desktop effect did not work either. Yes sure I had to type 'run' to get it to work but not normally as shown in the picture above. REALLY NEED IT!!!
