After i've performed the update gazebo doesn't work anymore

Help

Hello everyone,
after perfoming the update of all the packages on my pc, Gazebo doesn’t work anymore, any simulation in gazebo doesn’t work anymore; to be more precise, any world i try to load in it, it crashes, even if i try to run ign gazebo empty.sdf .
The version of Gazebo I’m using is Ignition Gazebo Fortress.

p.s. I’m aware that I should post this question on Gazebo Question, but I’m having problem accessing it.

The last release of Fortress was in January. So what kind of update do you mean?

You are right, I meant that I’ve performed the update of all the packages on my pc. In those there must be some packages used by Gazebo since the problem I’m experiencing with it.

try gz gazebo empty.sdf

This is the output that I obtain:

This tool modifies various aspects of a running Gazebo simulation.

  Usage:  gz <command>

List of commands:

  help      Print this help text.
  camera    Control a camera
  debug     Returns completion list for a command. Used for bash completion.
  help      Outputs information about a command
  joint     Modify properties of a joint
  log       Introspects and manipulates Gazebo log files.
  marker    Add, modify, or delete visual markers
  model     Modify properties of a model
  physics   Modify properties of the physics engine
  sdf       Converts between SDF versions, and provides info about SDF files
  stats     Print statistics about a running gzserver instance.

I think he meant gz sim empty.sdf.

Do you see any errors?

The output that I obtain is the same that executing gz gazebo empty.sdf:

By the way I’ve just now noticed that I’m experiencing problems also with ROS2, in particoular if I’m running some nodes that publish on some topics, executing ros2 topic list gives as output only:

/parameter_events
/rosout

I think that the ROS2’s problems is related to some communication error.
Is it possible that the same problem is causing the issues with Gazebo?

Please follow up the problem on https://robotics.stackexchange.com/ which is designed to solve this kind of Q&A questions. Thanks.

P.D: you probably already did it Gazebo doesn't work after the last update - Robotics Stack Exchange.
