How to fix Gazebo black screen on launch?
Whenever I launch Gazebo, the application will launch but the center of the screen is only black. It came installed with ROS2 Humble and it didn't work out of the box. I am using Ubuntu WSL from the Microsoft webstore. My Gazebo version is version 11.10.2.
I have seen others have a fix for this issue but I have tried all of them and nothing has fixed the problem. Some of the fixes I have tried include:
- export GAZEBO_IP=127.0.0.1
- Installing VcXsrv and following the steps on https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issu... (Unless I am doing something wrong with this)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Gazebo
- Restarting computer
- Restarting WSL
- Changing LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
- gazebo --verbose
- Trying different GPUs
- colcon build
And more I haven't thought of.
Things to note
- I can run Gazebo fine in other versions like 20.04 without any problem.
- Whenever I tried to first launch Gazebo on my computer, my computer screen started to completely glitch out, even when I ended the program and exited out of everything.
- glxgears runs fine
I am following this tutorial and everything has been fine up until this point: https://youtu.be/IjFcr5r0nMs?t=144 I understand that the tutorial is using foxy and I have just changed the distros to "humble" but I am not sure if this is what could be causing the error.
I call Gazebo with the following command as per the tutorial:
ros2 launch gazebo_ros gazebo.launch.py
I don't know what else to do here. I am stuck and I can't progress any further in this. I am fairly new at this so I might be missing a simple oversight. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
