gazebo freezes when saving new world

Question

I have installed Gazebo 9 with ROS melodic on Ubuntu 18.04. I keep getting the following problem:

• Start Gazebo
• Add some objects to the world
• File -> Save As...
• The program freezes and the saving window does not show up

It is possible to Alt+F4 to return to the world editor but nothing saves. Help me if anyone knows about that

Answer 1

I am working on Ubuntu 18.04 and using Gazebo 9 installed with ros-melodic. I had the same problem. One of the ways to solve problem is to run gazebo with sudo.
