I am running Gazebo with the following setup:
- a docker “gazebo:gzserver11” container is brought up in a remote server, within the container the double pendulum example is run following instructions at gazebo official docker.
- a docker “gazebo:gzserver11” container is brought up locally, with environment variable “GAZEBO_MASTER_URI” set to the remote container’s address, then use
gzclientcommand trying to spin up the GUI
In the remote container, I can see a “gzserver” instance running. In the local container, I can telnet to the remote container’s port without issue. When gzclient --verbose, the GUI is indeed up, but stuck at the “preparing your world…” page forever. While I can operate the main panel, it does not show any model.
Logs from the local container:

From the log I can see messages that connects to master successfully, so should not be network issue. There are a bunch of AMD drivers missing messages, because I am running ubuntu on a AMD Radeon card which the official docker image is not compiled against.
But the GUI is up so this is probably OK? At the moment I run out of ways to further investigate this issue, could someone enlighten me?
