I'm guessing VTK_USE_X, VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN or some other thing didn't get set properly.<br><br></div></div>Andy<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 1:36 PM, Christopher Neal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chrisneal@snumerics.com" target="_blank">chrisneal@snumerics.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="white" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have compiled a version of ParaView with osMesa enabled.

When I run the example, the operating system seems to freeze up completely in my login session i.e. windows can not be clicked, nothing at all can be done with the exception of moving the mouse around on the screen. It stays frozen like this for about 2 minutes before a window pops up that says “Paraview(batch)”. In the window is the isometric view and the window updates to show the geometry at every timestep that the example outputs an image at. The Catalyst script does seem to execute fine and outputs image files for each frame that I requested, but it is soooo slow for some reason.<br><br>Is this the expected behavior of running Catalyst with an osMesa build? I thought that ‘os’ stood for ‘off-screen’, which I interpreted as there being no screen display component to the rendering. Have I done something wrong with compiling ParaView with osMesa? Is Catalyst supposed to completely lock up the session until a window pops up? <br><br>I would love to hear from other users of Catalyst to hear about the experiences of running Catalyst.<br><br><br>Thank you,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Chris Neal<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div>
