I want to run Gazebo without the X11 window it creates.

If I am simulating vision, I still need to run OGRE to generate images.

Thanks, Chris

We plan on adding a tutorial for this, but in the meantime, here's a quick explanation. When you launch gazebo, there are two programs that are run: gzserver and gzclient. The program gzserver does all the simulation, even rendering for camera simulation. The interactive window is opened by gzclient.

To open a specific world, type gzserver specific.world.

I'm still a couple of versions back, but you'd also need to make sure that you've set the DISPLAY environment appropriately if you're not directly using the console..

If you're running the ROS version of Gazebo and using launch files, then I suggest modifying your launch file and commenting out the line regarding the Gazebo gui. Then only the gzserver part of gazebo will launch

This worked for me. Thanks. Funny that a tutorial was in the planning back in 2012 and this question is still the first to appear in a simple google search
