I am new to Gazebo and Ubuntu. I have just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and Gazebo 10.0. When I start Gazebo entering command $ gazebo --verbose no Gui show up...the message I get are:

Could you please try running gzserver --verbose in one shell and gzclient --verbose in other shell and see if the logs display something different?

Segfaulting booting Gazebo. What kind of graphic card do you have? Which is the output of lspci | grep VGA ?

paolo@paolo-Inspiron-9300:~$ lspci|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV41M [GeForce Go 6800] (rev a2)

If the nvidia support is enabled (install mesa-utils and run glxinfo | grep direct), next step would be to look into the logs ~/.gazebo/logs/ to see if there is an error message in there.

This is what Iget: paolo@paolo-Inspiron-9300:~$ glxinfo |grep direct direct rendering: Yes paolo@paolo-Inspiron-9300:~$ ls .gazebo client-11345 gui.ini ogre.log server-11345 paolo@paolo-Inspiron-9300:~$ No log directory under .gazebo! I am discouraged....

You will find log files inside .gazebo/client-11345 and .gazebo/server-11345. There could be some hint there about what is failing. Also give a look into ogre.log. Check for errors.

only ogre.log contain some info.

Unfortunately this did not solve my problems..... I noticed a lower resolution but what is worse is that display do not use GPU acceleration, this is because my graphic cards is no more supported on Ubuntu 19.04. So or I use the Ubuntu driver "nouveau" or I have to get back to Ubuntu 16.04 or older. There is any way the nouveau driver can be used? I need to use gazebo with Ardupilot SITL and I am afraid it could not be compatible with previous Ubuntu versions.
