what if you do the third one second? try renaming any same named nodes? I sometimes escaped this problem by very quickly launching two things after another.. before I found out what the real problem was, you can debug your lauch files by commenting out the code and then uncommenting it one by one

Is this caused by opening the same world model twice (i.e. an empty world) in multiple launch files?

Some things that appear to have helped I have mentioned on the cob-users mailing list.

First installing Ogre dev libraries may have helped, then showing the physics in gazebo if the robot is in the list, getting it in the list seems to occur when you quickly add the nonempty world to the empty world during launching. This is a very poor solution. You can also try to change the world file ipa-kitchen launches (in this case), refer to that file in cob_worlds. After you change it, you can launch the experimentation-days-sim file (in this case) again, then change it back and launch that file again, and so on, it seems there is no proper solution, except maybe if you know how to add a second launch to a running empty world. When I got it finally running it was extremely slow, taking one hour to fetch milk from the kitchen.

Hello, I'm trying to get gazebo running with a certain launch file: $roslaunch cob_experimentation_days experimentation_days_sim.launch

Hello, yesterday I was somehow able to get gazebo up and running by first launching an empty world and then experimentation_days.

As it turns out, you can better not have an extra launch of empty_world launch included in the launch file you launch secondly, that will conflict and cause this crash, you could rename the node but you actually only want a single empty world anyway

Transparency in gazebo can be resolved by viewing physic, bounding boxes or changing the viewing angle with the mouse until it is more or less close and parallel to the ground plane.

I have the same problem with ros electric. I had to install pr2 packages manually after installing the electric-full-desktop or sth. However the gazebo crashes when I launch a non-empty world. I also have the rendering support according to glx. I cannot install diamondback because Iḿ following a tutorial from carfe-o-bot experimentation days.
