Official Installation Tutorial

Install libglx

Rviz and Gazebo are written based on GLX. Our system only supports EGL
at present, so they cannot use GPU acceleration, and GLX library needs
to be installed to run properly.

   apt install -y libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0
   reboot

Update libqt5opengl5-dev

If RVIz does not run, RQT displays errors such as QOpenGLTimeMonitor.
You need to update libqt5OpengL5-dev. Do the following to try running
programs like RQT, RVIz, and Gazebo.

   sed -i 's/.*wiki.t-firefly.com.*/\#&/' /etc/apt/sources.list
   apt reinstall libqt5gui5
   apt reinstall libqt5opengl5-dev
   sed -i '/.*wiki.t-firefly.com.*/s/^#//' /etc/apt/sources.list

Run Rviz, RQT and Gazebo under Wayland

XWayland instructions

GLX-based programs run in Wayland and need to use XWayland. Use
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb to force Qt applications to use X11.

   QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb rviz
   QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb rqt
   QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb gazebo
   # You can also set the environment to bashrc to run programs like RVIz directly.
   echo "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" >> /~/.bashrc
