While going thought the Movieit! Setup Assistant Tutorial http://docs.ros.org/hydro/api/moveit_setup_assistant/html/doc/tutorial.html

I have ran into a issue when trying to load the urdf file for creating a moveit configuration package for my robot.  (The pr2 tutorial dosn't seem to work either)

After browsing the to the either the example pr2.urdf or my own robots urdf and hiting open the navigation window closes but the setup assistant does not seem to load the files.  I have checked the urdf's using check_urdf and they pass, i have also tried the pr2.urdf.xacro file which has the same result.  The pr2.urdf file was made using xacro.py on the pr2.urdf.xacro file

I'm using Hyrdo on ubuntu 12.04

Any advice would be much appreciated

Are there any error messages on the console?

Regards.

There are no error messages on the console, the setup assistant doesn't close or freeze but appears to respond normally other then the fact the urdf doesn't load.

[forgot to send it through the group]:
That's strange, so you click on open, navigate to the urdf file, click open, window closes, hmmm I think you might not be able to see the hole window, there is a Load button at the bottom. I think you need a minimum of 800 pixel height resolution in you monitor, please try to move the window upward.
