Hello,

I am running ubuntu 12.04 with ros groovy. I have installed moveit from source (I also tried the debian package, but get the same errors).

I start by running

kel@balmorra:~$ roslaunch moveit_setup_assistant setup_assistant.launch 

which yields this startup message and presents the assistant gui.

kel@balmorra:~$ roslaunch moveit_setup_assistant setup_assistant.launch

When I click on Create New MoveIt Configuration Package and load the pr2.urdf file I generated as per the instructions on the moveit wiki, and click Load Files, I get one of two behaviors (seemingly randomly):

Either the model loads, and I can view the joints under active joints, but there is nothing shown in the render window, or the program crashes with the following error:

[ INFO] [1374593536.722684914]: Loaded pr2 robot model.

Here is the same behavior with debug:=true
