[Paraview-developers] vglrun paraview non working over vnc

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Update : I found an old installation of paraview based on 5.0.0 and it runs fine, so we tested the new and old paraviews using a freshly compiled virtualgl downloaded from git master and older versions and the new paraview fails every time, whereas the old runs fine.

When I get time I will recompile everything in debug mode and investigate where/why the segfault is really happening.

Thanks

JB

Thanks for that info. That at least rules out the possibility that the new rendering backend in paraview is the cause of my trouble. I secretly hoped that it was caused by the change to that rather than some other system change here. I will keep playing.

Some additional information: I am running vnc to my Linux Ubuntu box from a mac laptop.

Hi John,
I just run a recent version of ParaView I had on my machine through vglrun. I started ParaView, created a wavelet and viewed it as a volume.
The ParaView version was
fff463d928c94192847c02e6855f405240450ff2 from Jan 19.

So, the problem may be the different version of ParaView  you have or a vlg configuration problem/graphics card driver problem.

With the new paraview, I’m not able to do a vglrun paraview over a VNC connection.

There is a segfault in vtkXOpenGLRenderwindow::CreateAWindow

Is there a workaround to this?

Thanks

JB
