Can't launch node gzserver nor gzclient

[sergibada]

Hello everybody!

I've just installed ROS Jade, which includes gazebo-5.0, in Ubuntu 14.04.2.
The thing is I am having some problems with Gazebo. I can start the GUI by introducing "gzserver" and "gzclient" in different terminals, however, if I introduce

roslaunch MYROBOT_gazebo MYROBOT_gazebo.launch
(as following this tutorial: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials/?tut=ros_roslaunch)

This is what I get:

... logging to /home/bada/.ros/log/e9d01456-403b-11e5-821c-0c607644cff2/roslaunch-hplinux-3212.log
Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.

started roslaunch server http://hplinux:56633/

I don't know how to solve this, so the node will be able to be located. I hope someone can help me!!

I am currently experiencing the same problem as you do . If you had found a solution for it, please help me out

[sergibada]

Hi!
What's exactly the problem? Have you tested gazebo with the examples of the
gazebosim web?

I solved the problem thankfully. The problem being that I had accidentally cloned gazebo_ros repositories in my workspace causing a clash in package names. I was actually looking for the gazebo_control package which doesn't come with the original installation of ros jade.

[sergibada]

Oh good then! As you say gazebo_ros package doesn't include gazebo_control.
In order to avoid these problems I switched to ROS Indigo. Good luck!

A good choice actually. But Indigo wasn't available for 15.04 Vivid version of Ubuntu and I had no choice. And for some unknown reason my laptop wasn't able to install 14.04. Anyway, if you face such errors in the future with Jade remember to clone gazebo_ros_control to your catkin_ws before proceeding. Thank You!

Thanks @sergibada for answering to the problem. Closing.

im also getting the same error, what should i do? im using ros indigo with gazebo 7.

我很庆幸地解决了这个问题。问题是我不小心在工作区中克隆了gazebo_ros存储库，从而导致程序包名称冲突。我实际上是在寻找gazebo_control软件包，该软件包不随ros jade的原始安装一起提供。
厉害 确实是这个原因，必须重新编译才行，把之前的build和lib都删除
