rviz2 freezes on launch on jazzy & kilted

[dj-nuo]

Hi! Tried following this instruction: https://robostack.github.io/GettingStarted.html

Both:

• pixi
• conda

Distros:

• humble - rviz2 works and launches GUI. Both using pixi and conda. GPU usage is reasonable.
• jazzy - rviz2 shows rViz loading screen and just freezes. Both using pixi and conda.
• kilted - rviz2 shows rViz loading screen and just freezes. On pixi - it freezes. On conda - it launches, but spikes GPU usage to 100% and it laggy.

Machine:

• MacBook Pro M1 Max (24 GPU cores), 32GB RAM
• MacOS 15.6.1

Can you plz provide some guidance? Or can you reproduce it on your side?

How are you launching rviz2 ? With ros2 run rviz2 rviz2 ?

By just using rviz2 command

Can you try with ros2 run rviz2 rviz2 ?

Ok, I tried ros2 run rviz2 rviz2, results:

• pixi + kilted = can't activate env using pixi shell -e kilted [^1]
• pixi + jazzy = froze. (rviz2 r14.1.12)
• pixi + humble = successful. (rviz2 r11.2.18)
• mamba/conda + kilted = launches (rviz2 r15.0.3), but has a bunch or errors in the terminal. Same applies when running, e.g. ros2 bag play ... [^2]
• mamba/conda + jazzy = froze (rviz2 version unknown since window didn't appear at all)
• mamba/conda + humble = successful. (rviz2 r11.2.18)

Between each of the tests I completely removed environment & started from scratch.

Thanks! I suspect this problem is related to https://github.com/RoboStack/ros-jazzy/issues/57 . I will have access to a macOS machine next week, I will try then.

Seems like when I set export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp, it works, but crashes sometimes with

libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::__1::system_error: mutex lock failed: Invalid argument
