How to eliminate a black screen while launching gazebo

I have been using ROS Hydro. Whenever I try to launch Gazebo world only a black screen appears. All the graphic drivers in ROS are up to date. The system spec are: NVIDIA GEFORCE card with i5 processor.

I get this message while I run gazebo --verbose

[Msg] Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 [Msg] Publicized address: 10.100.71.165 [Msg] Waiting for master. [Msg] Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 [Msg] Publicized address: 10.100.71.165

What version of Gazebo are you using? Could you try running gazebo in verbose mode (gazebo --verbose) and see if any error messages are printed out? Please add error messages to your question.

In addion to the questions above. is this isue related to a specific world or all worlds? What Geforce card do you have? Do you use the noveau or the proprietary NVIDIA-Driver?

I do not use noveau for the graphics card. How to install noveau. Please could you share the link.

that's the default open source nvidia driver under ubuntu. If you haven't changed it you might have to install the proprietary nvidia driver... It might also be the case that you have to use bumblebee to start GAZEBO (in case you have a hybrid card...)
you can also look at the ~/.gazebo/Ogre.log because there might be information about your problem...
