Hello, I just recently installed the recent release of ParaView 5.5 to test out some of the new functionality, but I'm unable to connect to my server from a Windows laptop client. I've tried both manually starting it on the server and starting `pvserver` through SSH in the client itself. Both cause the client on my laptop to freeze with an error message similar to 'paraview.exe stopped working' and I get a bunch of errors on the server that are all the following:
```shell ERROR: In /home/chris/Software/ParaView/paraview-src/VTK/Common/System/vtkSocket.cxx, line 572 vtkClientSocket (0x1878cc0): Socket error in call to send. Broken pipe. ``` I have both ParaView 5.4.1 and 5.5 installed on the server as well as the client, but currently only 5.4.1 works over SSH. Server was installed via a git-checkout and on the client via www.paraview.org/download/. Specifically I tried both the ParaView downloads with and without MPI, but neither solved the problem. Btw, what's the difference between those two? I see only one option for Linux (with MPI). Both installations on Windows use the same 'load servers' (XML?) script that I configured to automate the ssh connection. The only changes were for the path to `pvserver` and the `--use-offscreen-loading` flag (5.4.1) was changed to `--force-offscreen-loading` (5.5). I built both 5.4.1 and 5.5 again on the server to test, and I can't find a difference between the builds. Here's the `cmake` command I used for 5.5. Version numbers were adjusted accordingly for 5.4.1 (5.5->5.4): ```shell cmake ../paraview-src-5.5 \ -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`which gcc` \ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which g++` \ -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=`which gfortran` \ -DMPI_C_COMPILER=`which mpicc` \ -DMPI_CXX_COMPILER=`which mpicxx` \ -DMPI_Fortran_COMPILER=`which mpifort` \ -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_FFMPEG:BOOL=ON \ -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=ON \ -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=`which python3` \ -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON \ -DMPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS:STRING=`nproc` \ -DQT_HELP_GENERATOR:STRING=`which qhelpgenerator-qt5` \ -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=`which qmake-qt5` \ -DQT_XMLPATTERNS_EXECUTABLE:STRING=`which xmlpatterns-qt5` \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="/usr/local/lib/paraview-5.5" \ -G Ninja \ -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=$HOME/Software/ninja/ninja \ && $HOME/Software/ninja/ninja ``` Also a side question: On the client, ParaView doesn't keep multiple servers.pvsc files for each version of `paraview` installed on the client (in %APPDATA%\Roaming\ParaView\), although it does keep separate .ini files. Is this expected?
