I've been told that my error is different from the post where I have originally asked this questions. Since I still have this problem I would like to ask for help in this topic then. When I try to run rviz "Segmentation fault" error. I'm using 10.4 (running on vmware) and electric:

user@ubuntu:~/.rviz$ rosrun rviz rviz
[ INFO] [1321935622.778521758]: rviz revision number 1.6.6
[ INFO] [1321935622.778786716]: ogre_tools revision number 1.6.2

[ INFO] [1321935623.281105694]: Texture for pass 0: creating with size 1 x 1
Segmentation fault

I tried to remove lines in display_config - it didn't help. I removed both configs and got the same results. I was trying to restart workstation and turtlebot but it didn't help either. One or two times I had different error which actually did come up here as well:

user@ubuntu:~/.rviz$ rosrun rviz rviz -d 'rospack find turtlebot_interactive_markers'/config/interactive_markers.vcg 
[ INFO] [1321935611.525499608]: rviz revision number 1.6.6

[ INFO] [1321935611.700409981]: RTT Preferred Mode is PBuffer.
The program 'rviz' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 21 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Any ideas (other than remove files)? Thanks.

Are you running in a virtual machine?

Yes. Does it make any difference? Let me include this in the question.

3D support for virtual machines is quite limited and rviz uses Ogre. Maybe, it just won't work.

Is there a way to test it and find out if this is the case?
Roman Burdakov gravatar image Roman Burdakov  ( 2011-11-22 01:40:14 -0600 )edit
A minimal test is the output of glxinfo. It should say: direct rendering: Yes VirtualBox has experimental 3D support, I don't know about VM (and if rviz works in virtualbox).
dornhege gravatar image dornhege  ( 2011-11-22 02:48:04 -0600 )edit
I've run glxinfo and it has "direct rendering: Yes". Does anyone else has tried to run rviz on VMWare? Is this a problem?

Yeah but this doesn't even work on my machine natively (it has an Intel GMA945)

I can't get rviz to run reliably in a Parallels or VirtualBox VM. It definitely seems to be Ogre-related. I think you might be out of luck. :(

I've installed ogre separately and didn't have any problems with it. I'm running vmware with 2 cores and 2 gb of memory for it but I'm not getting even close to 100% utilization or memory usage. Ubuntu is 10.4. Not sure what else I can check.

Sorry for bringing it up again, but I've tried to used NOT virtual ubuntu and got different output(wxWidgets Error ) with the same result(Segmentation fault) :

user@ubuntu:~$ rosrun rviz rviz

Segmentation fault

However, I can start rviz from turtlebot itself(but it works very slow, especially when I was trying to build point cloud 2d data - it freezed) Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I was just reading http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/Troubleshooting -> 3.4. It says one could try running rviz with OGRE_RTT_MODE set to "Copy" or "FBO", instead of the default "PBuffer", but I don't know how. Do you? I'm on ros-electric, 10.04. using mesa openGL drivers.

Tom, thanks a lot for your comment. Now it works. I tried Copy and FBO modes before I was getting wxWidgets Error (my original post) and it didn't work out. When I removed video driver glxinfo started working, and I've got wxWidgets. Changing mode to Copy after and trying to run few times helped.

Glad it helped. So you can now help me by answering how exactly you did it here: http://answers.ros.org/question/3107/how-to-run-rviz-with-ogre_rtt_mode-set-to-copy-or . I for now ended up reverting to diamondback. Cheers.

I'm getting something like one-in-ten success rate when exporting OGRE_RTT_MODE to Copy or FBO, but it's still not coming up 100% of the time. Additional info here: https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/ticket/4830#comment:19
