RViz is a 3D visualizer for the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. In a lot of cases, RViz is run on a visualization workstation to monitor a robot.
However, sometimes it is useful to have RViz running on the robot itself. On the Jetson TK1 in particular this presents an issue, because running RViz causes a segmentation fault. Here’s the workaround:

| #!/bin/bash | |
| # Install rviz on the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 | |
| # Requires unsetting the GTK_IM_MODULE to avoid pcre conflict | |
| # 9-8-2016 | |
| sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rviz | |
| sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-robot-model | |
| echo "unset GTK_IM_MODULE" >> ~/.bashrc | |
| source ~/.bashrc |
The basic story is that one of the dependencies (pcre) is unhappy and needs one of the environmental variables unset. This seems to make everything happy and fluffy again.
Hi I used the jetson tx1 with rviz and followed the above advice but still have the problem of “bus error” what should i do, i really haven’t any idea.
These are instructions for the Jetson TK1. The Jetson TX1 is a different machine.
Hey there, I tested it under the TX1 and the instructions are quite the same, the only modification would be changing “indigo” for “kinetic” since the TX1 has 16.04.
Best regards!
