Recently, I am learning with ROS.
Environment
I am using Mac with Parallels Desktop. And install ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso
Here are some links:

Problem
When I am using turtlebot_gazebo package, firstly I install through sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-turtlebot-gazebo. Then, to test my installation, I run roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch. And everything works perfect.
Then I want to change the world model from the standard world by specifying our own world. So instead of the previous command, I run
roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_world.launch world_file:=$PWD/my.world
NOTE: use an absolute address for the world_file parameter
Then I will got some problem…
Solution
Open your Virtuel machine setting, and uncheck 3D acceleration.
I figuring this problem out for almost one day… Hope it works for you as well!
