May be my (very) short experience with pvserver and OSMesa can help... I've just
build a config without any error messages.
I've downloaded Mesa-7.11.2 and ParaView-3.98.1 sources. (see "[Paraview] Using
paraview with pvserver" thread on this list)
1) build of Mesa-7.11.2 with:
./configure --with-driver=osmesa --prefix=/share/apps/paraView-server-3.98.1
make
make install
2) build paraview with:
mkdir ParaView-3.98.1-build
cd ParaView-3.98.1-build
ccmake28 -D PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI:BOOL=OFF -D VTK_USE_X:BOOL=OFF -D
VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA:BOOL=ON /home/makerpm/PARAVIEW/ParaView-3.98.1-source
and set
PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI = OFF
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR = /share/apps/paraView-server-3.98.1/include
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY =
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY = /share/apps/paraView-server-3.98.1/lib/libGLU.so
VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA = ON
OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR = /share/apps/paraView-server-3.98.1/include
OSMESA_LIBRARY = /share/apps/paraView-server-3.98.1/lib/libOSMesa.so
VTK_USE_X = OFF
PARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON
make
make install
It is important to set OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY empty.

just wondering, when I was making OSMesa, it gave me the following message
during "configure":
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project MESSAGE: Disabling video due the lack of GLib/Gio/GStreamer

is it ok? Or do I need to do something about it?

I installed PV with OSMesa on a linux supercomputer. When I am running

What is going wrong? Is there any problem with the installation of my
Paraview with OSMesa support? This pvbatch works fine without
--use-offscreen-rendering option when I "ssh" with the "-X" option.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Yes, you don't need OSMesa when there is graphics hardware
support. In that case though it will still pop up a render window
to create screen shots. OSMesa can still be used even if you have
graphics hardware support and is currently the only way to get
around having a window to render into.

From the online resources I gathered that we need OSMesa only
when there is no graphics hardware on the system. Ok, so I
guess I need to install OSMesa and then compile Paraview again
with OSMesa support?
Please confirm.

Hi Pradeep,
If you don't want the window to pop up you'll need to use
offscreen rendering with OSMesa. WriteAnimation() needs to
create a window in order to generate the image. It is the
same with WriteImage().

Hello,
I made my first PV python script using "Start Trace"
and "End Trace". Now I am trying to run this script
using pvbatch hoping it will execute everything on the
command line and not display any graphics. I deleted
the Render() statement which was at the end of the
python script generated by Trace (file attached with
this email). But still it keeps generating the image
window and fails when I ssh without X option.
I have attached the script file. I am executing
pvbatch by the command
$pvbatch export_movie.py
Why is this happening?
Thank you,
Pradeep
