Hi all,

I am using Gazebo 11. I have noticed that if I open a .world file containing sun as global light source, then the GUI remain completely black. The sun-light is added including the following lines in the .world file:

<include>
        <uri>model://sun</uri>
</include>

In particular, I am following the Velodyne tutorial.

When I run the file velodyne.world (here there is a link to the file C:\fakepath\velodyne.world), Gazebo opens but the screen remains totally black.

Using the command --verbose, I get the following error:

simone@gandalf:~$ gazebo -u /media/simone/velodyne/velodyne.world --verbose

If I don't add the sun to the .world file, I get the same identical error, but the simulation runs correctly and what I get in the GUI is a dark, but still "visible", scene:

How can I fix this issue? Thanks in advance!!!
