Hi, Indeed, disabling 3D acceleration makes ParaView work. I initially enabled it because when it's off, my Catalyst script gives me this:
OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM. and the PNG image resulting from my script is just white (now that may be unrelated, maybe there is just a problem with my Catalyst adaptors...) Also when running the simulation, I see a white-filled window briefly appearing an disappearing before this message shows up. This also happens when I run it through SSH (but I have to use the -X option in SSH, otherwise I get another error saying "bac X server connection"). Thank, Matthieu ________________________________________ From: Utkarsh Ayachit [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 9:11 AM To: Cory Quammen Cc: Dorier, Matthieu; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Paraview] Segfault in ParaView 4.4 RC2 What Cory suggested may be it. I can't spot anything fishy in the CMakeCache.txt. Also try running another OpenGL enabled app, eg. glxgears to see if that works. I believe it's provided by the `mesa-utils` package on Ubuntu.
