Utkarsh,
When I do an ldd pvbatch appears to be using the correct libraries GL
libraries (I am building agains mesa-7.0.4, could it be that my version
of mesa is too old). I ran the following test:
bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
bash-3.2$ unset DISPLAY
bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY
bash-3.2$ mpirun -np 4 pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering
testParallelRender.py
: cannot connect to X server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 4770 on
node ls08270-l.arl.army.mil exiting without calling "finalize". This may
have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I have DISPLAY set it works perfectly.
Thanks,
Carrie

Carrie,
I just tried it with CVS ParaView and I could not reproduce it. Can
you reproduce this when running on a single node? Try running ldd on
pvbatch, is it getting the right OpenGL libraries?

That sounds fishy, let me take a look. I'll get back to you.

Good Morning,
I am currently having issues with paraview-3.8.0 and paraview-3.9.0 when
trying to use pvbatch and offscreen rendering. When I run with my DISPLAY
variable set, I don't have any issues, when the DISPLAY variable is not set
it fails with the "cannot connect to X server error". I have built paraview
with the following flags to support the offscreen rendering capabilities:
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY
OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR
OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR
OSMESA_LIBRARY
VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA=ON
VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN=ON
VTK_USE_DISPLAY=OFF
I have built paraview-3.6.2 with these flags and the pvbatch offscreen
rendering works perfectly without the DISPLAY variable being set, the same
does not work for 3.8.0 and 3.9.0. Am I missing a new flag for these
packages? The mesa version I am using is 7.0.4.
The pvbatch command I am running is:
mpirun -np 4 pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering testParallelRender.py
Thanks in advance for your help,
Carrie
