Gazebo command doesn't open Gazebo
Hi!
I've been trying to run hector_quadrotor packages for a research. For this, I have to launch gazebo simulator. I have installed ROS Kinetic on a 64bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine.
When I try to run;
$ roslaunch hector_quadrotor_demo indoor_slam_gazebo.launch
I get RViz open correctly. (I couldn't upload a screenshot). It only shows the image part to the left in this similar image. I don't get gazebo open to show me the 3D view of the environment.
So I checked the console log and it shows the following error message.
[gazebo_gui-3] process has died [pid 21110, exit code 132, cmd /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/gazebo_ros/gzclient __name:=gazebo_gui __log:=/home/knight/.ros/log/764ebc9e-aa64-11e8-b5f5-6045cb73915a/gazebo_gui-3.log].
log file: /home/knight/.ros/log/764ebc9e-aa64-11e8-b5f5-6045cb73915a/gazebo_gui-3*.log
I tried to find such a log file and surprisingly there is none in that folder. I Googled this error message and tried many methods as reinstalling gazebo version 9 and then again version 7 but still it's not opening gazebo.
I tried gazebo command on the console itself and it just stays for a few seconds and then I get console prompt again. So I tried verbose;
gazebo --verbose

After this set of messages I get the console prompt (knight@AID:~$) again.
When I quit RViz window, it closes with the following message.
[gazebo-2] killing on exit
I wonder what could be the possible reason/s for this failure. Help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
