The application installs, but immediately crashes X windows.
/var/log/Xorg.*.log and /var/log/messages, and the like, show
nothing obvious (to me). The screen goes black, and then I am back to
the window manager SL 6 login splash screen. The
system allows me to log in and everything works unless I again invoke
paraview, in which case the cycle repeats.
So X is clearly dying and that is what needs to be debugged. What
does /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old contain after the crash - that's the
previous Xorg log file.
What video driver? Installed from where?
We are Nvidia academic "partners" and need to run Nvidia CUDA. CUDA
requires the Nvidia proprietary X11 video driver. I do not have access
to the machine because of campus firewall policy and port closures. I
probably will install the latest Nvidia driver, although I was hoping to
not do this until we moved to SL 7 (once it goes to a production -- not
beta/testing -- release).
Once this is done, I will report if this solves the problem.
