Hi all,
I've been trying to solve the problem. I found an important setting about it. Our ParaView is running on shared Linux cluster, so we operate ParaView with VNC Client. My VNC setting is very simple as below: > vncviewer -geometry [width]x[height] But other users' settings are little different: > vncviewer -geometry [width]x[height] -depth 32 The -depth option is critical. Maybe this option influences OpenGL setting of VNC, and ParaView gets into GLX errors. I suggested removing -depth option and restarting VNC server, then our ParaView executed perfectly.
