[ros-users] rviz crashing when killing unrelated node (Nvidia issue?)

[Matei Ciocarlie]

Hi Ugo,

It's almost certainly the driver problem. If you link against the
nvidia driver (which you are if anybody in your dependency list is
using OpenGl or ogre) you will get these crashes. The only solution
we've found is to upgrade the driver; 260.19.21 seems to fix the
problem.
