Well, I can confirm the problem doesn't occur with 3.6.2 (using the precompiled vision, downloaded directly from the web). However the 3.8 RC2 (also the precompiled version from the web) does crash after some time exactly as the 3.7CVS does. So I think this shouldn't be a glx issue, right?

I also agree with checking the driver, the last issue I had was caused by this (an upgrade fixed it). For the list - are there any debug options that make ParaView print/log what it is doing? E.g. export DEBUG_INFO=TRUE There seems to be a few instances like this where something goes wrong and there is no information. Even if there isn't ParaView should make use of the QStatusBar to give some hints.

Was your driver updated recently? Can you *still* run 3.6.2 without problems? Josef Dubsky wrote: > > Hi Paul, > > Thanks for your hint, but I do have enough disk space (~10 GB).
