Hi @sea-bass
Thanks for your updates to the repo. This question is not about it, nevertheless, maybe you can help me.
When trying to run gazebo 11 over Ubuntu 22.04 on a VM I get the errors:

I've tried to solve it by disabling Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04 or following the tutorials described in this post (https://answers.ros.org/question/408333/gazebo-ros2-humble-on-ubuntu-2204/?answer=408353#post-id-408353) with no luck.. Did you experience a similar error on your Docker deployment?
Thanks in advance!
Hmm, I have not used VMs ever, but definitely ran into situations where Gazebo just wouldn't start up.
I think your Gazebo is trying to download all its models from the Internet and is simply taking a long time. If you wait for several minutes, does Gazebo eventually start up? Luckily with a VM vs. Docker, that state is preserved so it should just be a one time thing.
You could alternatively try do a clean reinstall of Gazebo (sudo apt-get install gazebo) or see if opening it through the ROS launch file works (ros2 launch gazebo_ros gazebo.launch.py).
... but yeah, ultimately this is also outside my realm of expertise.
I've been waiting for 1 hour and no luck :(
Thanks @sea-bass!! I'll continue the research..
Hi @sea-bass! I've got the same problem with Gazebo when using your docker-compose file on one Ubuntu 22.04 VM. I don't know the reason... It has no sense. Could you please tell me which host OS are you using?
Thanks again
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 as my host OS, so no VMs.
If you can run Gazebo fine on the VM itself (no Docker), I might recommend trying out the local setup instructions I just posted yesterday? This has been made easier now.
