I am using ROS melodic in Ubuntu 18.04. I have created one robot model in Gazebo and it was working fine. But now it is showing the following error.

[spawn_gazebo_model-4] process has died [pid 14674, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/melodic/lib/gazebo_ros/spawn_model -urdf -param robot_description -model robot -x 0 -y 0 -z 0 __name:=spawn_gazebo_model __log:=/home/vstnhwstn-11/.ros/log/bec072fe-ad8d-11eb-ad67-18c04db5f615/spawn_gazebo_model-4.log].

I did not change anything. I tried to fix the issue by executing killall gzserver && killall gzclient but it was showing

gzserver: no process found 
gzclient: no process found

I ran the simulation on another computer and it worked fine. So I created another workspace and tried to run the simulation. But the same error came again. I tired to kill the pid process but I couldn't find the number. I am confused now. It is working on another Laptop but not working on my system. Before the main error, terminal is showing as follows.

While importing we detected an older version of numpy in ['/home/vstnhwstn-11/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy']. One method of fixing this is to repeatedly uninstall numpy until none is found, then reinstall this version.

I uninstalled numpy and installed again using pip uninstall numpy and pip install numpy. A warning is also coming and it is as follows.

[WARN] [1620214529.805213, 6.389000]: Controller Spawner couldn't find the expected controller_manager ROS interface.

I am confused whether the issue is relate to graphics card or not. Somebody please help me to solve this issue.

I solved the issue. It was an error with numpy. I uninstalled numpy using the command pip uninstall numpy repeatedly until I got the message

Not uninstalling numpy at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, outside environment /usr

Then I installed numpy again using pip install numpy. Then execute the command sudo pip install --upgrade numpy. This will solve the issue.

The controller Spawner warning is described here.
