I'm using ros indigo, ubuntu 14.04 & trying to launch gazebo but it is not working. I have the gazebo_models downloaded (https://github.com/osrf/gazebo_models) but i am still getting the following errors when i try to launch gazebo:

Is there any solution?

Many thanks

There is any reason for which you are using such an old version of Gazebo? As it is not a version of Gazebo supported anymore, you risk to encounter many problematic behaviors.

Anyhow, you can disable the downloading of the Gazebo Model Database by setting the GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI env variable to an empty string, i.e. launch Gazebo as:

export GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI="" gazebo

see https://classic.gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=components .
