Hi John As of now, gazebo is working but : *(1) It is unstable and if I try 3 times the screen pops-up and stays for once, other occasions the process 'dies' very quickly (in about 3 seconds). This is what I get when it 'dies' !* XRequest.136: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 0x3c00002 do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly. Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter. [gazebo-2] process has died [pid 3070, exit code -11]. log files: /home/acer/.ros/log/bde99ba8-9480-11df-99cf-001b777e0253/gazebo-2*.log *and this is what I get when it works (say once in 3 attempts)* do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly. Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter. *(2) It imports simple items, coffee-cup, desks etc . However, when I try the pr2 robot then the screen exits ! This is what I get.* do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly. Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.
