gazebo crashing frequently in groovy Ubuntu 12.10 [closed]
Hello everyone
I am using ROS after a while. I was working on electric on Ubuntu 11.10, When I switched to Ubuntu 12.10 and groovy (as I guess Hydro is not yet officially released) I am quite disturbed to see that gazeebo is crashing frequently. (I intend to work only on simulation for now (no real robots)0
command : roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch often fails and when it is able to open gazebo it prints a lot of error on console like
Error [Events.hh:141] Events::ConnectWorldUpdateStart is deprecated in v 1.5.0. Please use Events::ConnectWorldUpdateBeginmany a times and also

And often it fails saying that process has died.
Could it be an issue with my graphics card? (Although when it runs (unable to do arm manipulation so far), I get 0.84 times real speed). I don't think my nvidia 630M card is being used (I am using i7 2.3Ghz/8GB Ram (Asus K55V))
I get following on
$ lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
and on
sudo lshw -c video

Is there a way to start pr2 simulation reliably. Any help/comment is greatly appreciated.
You should probably (now) ask this question on http://answers.gazebosim.org/questions/
This is a great question. I too have been unable to fix this on my setup. I noticed that this maybe connected to the fact that I can't get an image to display in rviz either.
