Gazebo shuts down immediately

Hey,

I installed Gazebo 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 using apt-get at first and also compiling from source. The problem that I'm facing is that when I type in the 'gazebo' command, it shows the GUI for a second and then immediately shuts it down without giving any errors. What is the problem?

Did you follow the step 5 of http://gazebosim.org/wiki/1.4/install ?

Yes I did. Does anyone have a working 1.4.0 version on Ubuntu 12.04?

I got it working! I installed a new copy of Ubuntu 12.04 and installed using sudo apt-get. It's working fine.

Hi all, firstly, let me apologise for writing this as an 'answer', I don't have enough Karma yet to post as a comment. I am in the same boat as the user above, and have been for a couple of weeks. I spent some time going through other posts, questions and answers looking for how to resolve this. I have tried various combinations of un-installing and reinstalling both ROS and Gazebo. Also, I have tried both 1.3 and 1.4 source installations, as well as the standard repository edition. The environment variables you asked for @nkoenig are as follows:

<user>@XPS-Ubuntu:~$ env | grep GAZEBO
GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=/usr/share/gazebo-1.4:/usr/share/gazebo_models
GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11345
GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/gazebo-1.4/plugins
GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://gazebosim.org/models

I have also triple checked paths and the like. Any suggestions would be very welcome as I would rather not have to do an OS reinstall as others have done to fix various issues.

If gazebo is called, the program crashes without an errors, sometimes it will get as far as the UI which will then go dark and crash, again without any errors. If gzclient is called after a successful gzserver or if gzmaster is called alone, we get the same result.

Thanks in advance and please let me know if there are further details you require. Again, sorry for posting this here in this format, however, I thought it better than starting a new question about the same issue.

What is the output of: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering:"

@nkoenig Hi, thanks for the quick reply. The output is: direct rendering: Yes

treanorj gravatar imagetreanorj ( 2013-02-07 07:53:28 -0500 )edit

can you open two terminals. In one terminal run `gdb gzserver` and in the other `gdb gzclient`. When gzclient fails, type `bt` at the gdb prompt. Post the out of the `bt` command.

nkoenig gravatar imagenkoenig ( 2013-02-07 09:08:01 -0500 )edit

Ok, so I have gdb gzserver happily working away in the first terminal, and in the second, I have gdb gzclient however while no gazebo comes up there does not seem to be a specified failure. When I type bt I get "No stack".

treanorj gravatar imagetreanorj ( 2013-02-07 10:35:08 -0500 )edit

What happens when you just run gzclient in a terminal. Make sure that no gzserver is running.

nkoenig gravatar imagenkoenig ( 2013-02-07 11:23:50 -0500 )edit

Running gzserver alone waits at the Msg Waiting for master line

treanorj gravatar imagetreanorj ( 2013-02-07 11:37:20 -0500 )edit

Did you mean "Running gzclient"?

nkoenig gravatar imagenkoenig ( 2013-02-07 11:43:59 -0500 )edit

Yes, sorry, I mean running `gzclient`

treanorj gravatar imagetreanorj ( 2013-02-07 11:48:41 -0500 )edit

Can you try running the pr2.world: gzserver worlds/pr2.world in one terminal, and in another terminal: gztopic view /gazebo/default/pr2/head_tilt_link/head_mount_sensor/image? The gztopic view command should open a window with a greyscale image.

nkoenig gravatar imagenkoenig ( 2013-02-07 12:17:16 -0500 )edit

Before I get to the gztopic point, after I start gzserver worlds/pr2.world I get the usual Msg Waiting for masterMsg Connected to gazebo master @ <a href="http://127.0.0.1:11345%60">http://127.0.0.1:11345Msg Publicized address: 192.168.1.56

Then multiple lines of the same warning: Warning [ODEJoint.cc:116] joint friction not implemented Which finishes then with a Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Apologies in the format of my replies, I don't know fully the wiki syntax.

Hi, the error with fglrx_dri is likely due to ati proprietary gpu driver incompatibility with openGL, can you try one of the free gpu driver alternatives?

Hi. really sorry for the very late reply. I believe you are completely right about the drivers. I have not had time the last few days to change over drivers to see if it will help. I am working off another machine now with no problems (Nvidia). I will post back in a couple of days when I actually manage to swap over those drivers.

Hi, I had installed Gazebo-1.4.0 to Gentoo from a source code on computer with architecture x86_64 and everything works well.

Then I tried to compile it to a computer with architecture x86. I have same problem as Anonymous and treanorj at this architecture (gzclient quits with Segmentation fault). I think that the problem is with libgazebo_gui.so, because of PIC (Position Independent Code), which should explain this warning.

Building CXX object gazebo/gui/CMakeFiles/gazebo_gui.dir/qrcresources.cxx.o Linking CXX shared library libgazebogui.so /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.3/../../../../i486-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/gazebo_gui.dir/__/gazebo.cc.o: warning: relocation in readonly section `.text.startup'. /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.3/../../../../i486-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in a shared object.

I was able to reproduce this problem by upgrading ubuntu after installing gazebo by:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Then the problem was fixed shortly there after with another:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Could you try updating and upgrading your system?
