Camera Calibration on ROS noetic - Calibration display with video is flickering

edit

EDIT: I SOLVED THE PROBLEM: SEE COMMENTS FOR MORE INFO

I am currently using Ubuntu Linux 20.04 Host version on the virtual box and am currently stuck at the final step of calibrating my two seperate cameras (Logitech B910 HD) as a stereocamera setup with the ROS Noetic distribution.

Once Ros has been installed, I created a catkin workspace in the terminal and installed the image_pipeline package with the following commands:

• cd ~/catkin_ws/src
• git clone https://github.com/ros-perception/ima...
• git clone https://github.com/ros-visualization/...
• cd ~/catkin_ws
• catkin_make

Next up, I'm setting up everything for the camera_calibration package and my cameras to be available in the terminal under the catkin workspace, like so:

• sudo apt install python3-rosdep2 -y
• rosdep install camera_calibration -y
• rosmake camera_calibration
• sudo apt install ros-noetic-usb-cam -y

In a new terminal with the same workspace directory I open my launch file for the cameras to be available (Launch file should be visible at the bottom of this post):

• roslaunch src/image_pipeline/camera_calibration/src/launch/stereo_usb_cam.launch

For the calibration window to start I firstly need to setup a rosbash and then the rosrun comman in the first terminal:

• sudo apt install ros-noetic-rosbash
• rosrun camera_calibration cameracalibrator.py --pattern chessboard --size 12x8 --square 0.03 right:=/stereo/right/image_raw left:=/stereo/left/image_raw right_camera:=/stereo/right left_camera:=/stereo/left --no-service-check --approximate=0.1

I can see that my cameras are active and the Display window for the camera calibration starts but I get this flickering video image. I believe it has something to do with the framerate or driver connectivity, however, I searched through the web like crazy and cross-referenced lots and still have not found a single thing. Hopefully someone can help me out here.
