I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit on a machine with an NVIDIA Quadro FX1500 graphics card. I installed gazebo following the instructions in the tutorial. The gzserver starts fine. If I start gzclient using the proprietary nvidia-304 driver it crashes with the following output:

The guys at this and this link seem to have had a similar problem, but as I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu with the latest driver these solutions don't work for me. When using the open-source driver gzclient starts but the computer is unusably slow.

Any idea on how to fix this?

EDIT: glxinfo runs without an error as far as I can tell and tells me Hardware Rendering is enabled:

Can you confirm if this is still present in latests versions of gazebo?

I have the same problem here on Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bits), NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450 with the latest drivers from nvidia.com. I tried the gazebo2 package, building and installing gazebo4 from source, and installing from gazebo5_instal.sh All approaches yield the same error.

Something interesting in the ~/gazebo/ogre.log ?

Can you paste the output of `glxinfo` on pastebin or a gist?

The ~/gazebo/ogre.log could also be useful. I see several ways of trying to solve the problem: update graphic card drivers, update ubuntu or try to build gazebo from source using ogre-1.8.
