Revision history [back]

I had this issue.

I resolved it by installing nvidia drivers.

In ubuntu, I clicked on the little gear in the top-right corner, then I clicked "System Settings".

In that menu, I selected "Additional Drivers"

I was able to select to install NVIDIA drivers onto my laptop.

After the lengthy download and install, I could start rviz.
