Downloading models fails

Hi, I followed the instructions from http://gazebosim.org/tutorials/?tut=install to install gazebo into the local folder within my home directory under Ubuntu 14.04. Compilation and installing worked without significant problems. However, when I am now trying to run gazebo, I am observing the following (I removed the Publicized address):

Afterwards, the program quits.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Timo

I've seen these errors too, but usually gazebo is still able to launch for me. Anyone know what the "no namespace found" means?

Seems as no one here is able to help me. Is there something else I could try to make gazebo work? Up to now, the experience is quite disappointing...

I disconnected to Internet and worked well. but i dont know why but there's a connection problem ;-0

or edited both /usr/share/gazebo-2.2/setup.sh /usr/share/gazebo/setup.sh

from

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11345

export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=http://gazebosim.org/models

to

export GAZEBO_MASTER_URI=""

export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI=""

and

$ source /usr/share/gazebo-2.2/setup.sh

then worked fine

You can download these models yourself from here. And then put these models in /usr/share/gazebo-[VERSION]/models. For example, my Gazebo version is 7, so I put all these model files inside /usr/share/gazebo-7/models as shown below:

Note that if you do not have these models, Gazebo should still work well; the only thing is that you need to wait long enough for the Gazebo GUI to appear. :)
