I currently have paraview 3.98.1 installed on a CentOS 6.2 cluster. The head node has X installed, but the compute nodes do not. I have built Paraview with the OSMesa, but cannot seem to get it to work on this server. I have a Debian system with the same 3.98.1 installation built with OSMesa, and have no problems.
I have tried running with mpi and also just a single instance, and am using pvserver, with a 3.98.1 client on my windows machine. I can make the connection on my client, and open a file. As soon as I attempt to view the file, in every incantation I get similar error messages: Waiting for client... Connection URL: cs://hpc.fsl.orst.edu:11111 Accepting connection(s): hpc.fsl.orst.edu:11111 Client connected. ERROR: In /usr/local/src/ParaView-3.98.1-source/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 383 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1ebf3c0): Could not find a decent visual [Further message, included in attached file] Based on information from the paraview wiki, I was under the impression that I should be able to use: pvserver -use-offscreen-rendering to force it to ignore any X connections, but so far, I have had no luck. The compute nodes do not have X installed at all, and so I tried the reverse connection on the client, with the -use-offscreen-rendering and -ch -rc options, with the same results. Am I misunderstanding the use of OSMesa and -use-offscreen-rendering? Any assistance would be appreciated. Terralyn Vandetta College of Forestry Oregon State University
