[ros-users] Running PR2 Simulator under Virtualization

[Ibrahim Awwal]

  Hi guys,
I'm trying to get started with ROS and the PR2 simulator, and I was 
wondering whether it's possible to run the PR2 simulator under 
virtualization. I've been trying to get it to work under VirtualBox with 
3D acceleration enabled but I get OpenGL errors, and according to 
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/Troubleshooting#A.22No_GLX_FBConfig_support.22_under_VirtualBox 
it seems like this is a known issue with VirtualBox. Is there any way to 
get the PR2 simulator to run under virtualization? Or is it possible to 
run it in Windows? I'd like to avoid dual booting if possible. Thanks,
