I had the same issue trying to use Gazebo along with ROS. My solution was to downgrade OpenGL from 3.3 to 2.1 as written here: http://www.mesa3d.org/vmware-guest.html
Info: * Ubuntu 14.04 * VMware Fusion 8 [quote] OpenGL 3.3 support can be disabled by setting the environment variable SVGA_VGPU10=0. You will then have OpenGL 2.1 support. This may be useful to work around application bugs (such as incorrect use of the OpenGL 3.x core profile). [/quote] So do the following: $ echo "export SVGA_VGPU10=0" >> ~/.bashrc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577494 Title: application dies with 'VMware: vmw_ioctl_command error Invalid argument.'
