RViz crashes when use nvidia-375 driver

[boooooo...@gmail.com]

Hi:

System: Ubuntu 14.04
ROS distro: Indigo

I am currently using the fanuc M20ia moveit package user the ROS-I, and till now, everything works fine. But apart from that, I want to use a KinectV2 sensor as the vision system for the robot and tried to use the Nvidia driver and the cuda to speed up the processing time. But once I update the graphic driver to nvidia-375 (I do that with in the Software & Update-->Additional Drivers tab), the RViz just crashes every time it got started, I searched the troubleshooting page (here) and it says that the RViz does not support hardware acceleration, but I am not quite sure whether this is the problem.

So anyone is using the nvidia graphic card and using the RViz at the same time? Any comment is welcome, I have been struggling with this driver problem for a pretty long time...

Many thanks
Best,
Bosch Tang

Hi, Mitch:

Thanks for the reply, but I probably needs to stay at the Ubuntu 14.04 and the ROS Indigo since my other packages are Indigo and I probably don't have enough time for me to swap to 16.04. By the way, how do you install the nvidia driver? Using the Software & Update or download the deb from the nvidia website?

Many thanks!

You can set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 in your bash file.  This disables hardware rendering.  Not ideal, but it should prevent crashes.

Right, but I guess it wouldn't help you much since you need to stay in indigo.

Hi, Shaun:

Sorry for the delayed reply, I checked the LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE variable, it is already set to 1 and the RViz still crashes, I tried to run rviz alone by rossun rviz rviz and it gives me a segmentation fault, I tried to set the OGRE_RTT_MODE to different values but still have a segmentation fault. So does that mean actually RViz might not work with the nvidia graphic driver? I am not quite familiar with driver stuff, so I am not sure how to solve this. Actually I just want to use the KinectV2, but the libfreenect2 needs a nvidia driver, or the OpenGL version is to low to run.
