can you please give a hand?

I have seen multiple issues reported in the past involving the llvmpipe software renderer. I think you should try to fix your system to use your actual GPU hardware. Search Google for "llvmpipe used instead of ..."

[khaledelmadawi]

I don't have GPU, my labtop is zbook

[rhaschke]

I'm afraid I cannot help remotely with this hardware issue. You should try to compile with debug symbols and debug yourself.
My suspicion is that the llvmpipe software renderer is not mature enough yet.

I also have this error with melodic on arch linux. Noetic does not have this problem on the same machine.

I have examined the compile process very closely and there seemed to be no difference that should result in this error. Someone also recommended to use the noetic branch and compile it under melodic - but that did not help either.

The arch linux system:

An ubuntu 18 machine:

I did not compile rviz for melodic on the ubuntu 18 machine yet - but I suspect that this has nothing to do with the OpenGL version itself or the used GPU hardware.

[rhaschke]

@lprobsth, you report different Linux distros as well as different GPU / Mesa uses. However, it's not clear at all, which of these configs work and which don't. To yield meaningful results you should only change a single variable always, i.e. GPU vs. Mesa or the linux distro, or the rviz version.
If the noetic version of rviz is running on your target system, I suggest compiling the noetic-devel branch of rviz under melodic (if you are stuck to melodic). This should yield the same result then. If not (as you report), you probably didn't correctly source your custom workspace.

Hello everyone!
When trying to install ros2 rolling via source on ubuntu 22.04 I get a segmentation fault for the package rviz_default_plugins.
The output of the compiling command is reported in this file

rviz_default_plugins.txt

My machine has 16GB of memory and I run the command without any other user app running.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks!

[antbono]

I could make the package compile using a single thread with the commmand

MAKEFLAGS=-j1 colcon build --executor sequential --packages-select rviz_default_plugins

Anyway when i runt colcon test, rviz package fails...
