Gazebo goes not responding after loading the window

Environment

• OS Version: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x86_64
• Source or binary build? Binary v8.5.0
• If this is a GUI or sensor rendering bug, describe your GPU and rendering system. Otherwise delete this section.
  • Rendering plugin: [ogre | ogre2]. tried both orge and ogre2
    • Sensor rendering error.
    • GUI rendering error.
  • EGL headless mode:
    • Running in EGL headless mode
  • Generally, mention all circumstances that might affect rendering capabilities:
    • running on a dual GPU machine (integrated GPU + discrete GPU)
    • running on a multi-GPU machine (it has multiple discrete GPUs)
    • running on real hardware
    • running in virtual machine
    • running in Docker/Singularity
    • running remotely (e.g. via SSH)
    • running in a cloud
    • using VirtualGL, XVFB, Xdummy, XVNC or other indirect rendering utilities
    • GPU is concurrently used for other tasks
      • desktop acceleration
      • video decoding (i.e. a playing Youtube video)
      • video encoding
      • CUDA/ROCm computations (Tensorflow, Torch, Caffe running)
      • multiple simulators running at the same time
    • other...
  • Rendering system info:
    • On Linux, provide the outputs of the following commands:

      LANG=C lspci -nn | grep VGA  # might require installing pciutils
      echo "$DISPLAY"
      LANG=C glxinfo -B | grep -i '\(direct rendering\|opengl\|profile\)'  # might require installing mesa-utils package
      ps aux | grep Xorg
      sudo env LANG=C X -version  # if you don't have root access, try to tell the version of Xorg e.g. via package manager

    • On Windows, run dxdiag and report the GPU-related information.
    • On Mac OS, open a terminal and type system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType. Copy the output here.
  • Please, attach the ogre.log or ogre2.log file from ~/.gz/rendering

Description

• Expected behavior: Gazebo launches with an empty world
• Actual behavior: Gazebo windows opens and freezes then goes not responding

Steps to reproduce

1. Run gz sim

Output

OptiPlex-7040:~$ gz sim
Escalating to SIGKILL on [Gazebo Sim Server]

gz sim --render-engine ogre fails similarly

[iche033]

can you try with -v 4 instead of --verbose, e.g.

gz sim -v 4 shapes.sdf 

and see if it prints some error output

Also, this might be related to a network configuration issue. See gazebosim/gz-transport#476 (comment)

[aadith-warrier]

This was a network configuration issue as mentioned in gazebosim/gz-transport#476 (comment).

Adding this to https://gazebosim.org/docs/latest/troubleshooting/ would help.

Thank you.

@aadith-warrier, I'm glad that was the issue. I agree it would be good to add it to the troubleshooting page. Would you be able to create a PR to https://github.com/gazebosim/docs/edit/master/harmonic/troubleshooting.md?

[aadith-warrier]

Yeah sure. gazebosim/docs#484
