RES: [Paraview] client/server display problem - Problem Revisited!

[Renato N. Elias]

Hi John, 

I'm not an expert but I've faced this problem recently trying (for several
times) to compile and run PV in offscreen mode. 
Your message is not an error message. It's a message warning that you don't
have rendering resources on your server and that you're not using (or PV is
not able to run) in off screen mode. 

Have you launched pvserver with --use-offscreen-rendering flag?

Cheers

NOTE: After 4 times I finally compiled PV with Mesa ;-)

I've compiled paraview (server side) with osmesa but I always get the error
message shown in the snapshot attached (on the client side). 
Options for paraview include use offscreen and use osmesa

I note that although mesa supplies GLU and OSMesa32, the vtk/paraview libs
(eg vtkRendering) are all still linking against libGL - which in turn uses
X.

Here are some settings

>  OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR               /home/biddisco/Mesa-6.5/include
>  OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY                /usr/lib/libGL.so
>  OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY               /home/biddisco/Mesa-6.5/lib/libGLU.so
>  OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR         OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND
>  OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR               /home/biddisco/Mesa-6.5/include
>  OSMESA_LIBRARY
/home/biddisco/Mesa-6.5/lib/libOSMesa32.so
>  VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA            ON
>  VTK_USE_64BIT_IDS                OFF
>  VTK_USE_CG_SHADERS               OFF
>  VTK_USE_DISPLAY                  OFF
>  VTK_USE_FFMPEG_ENCODER           OFF
>  VTK_USE_GLSL_SHADERS             OFF
>  VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT               OFF
>  VTK_USE_MANGLED_MESA             OFF
>  VTK_USE_MPI                      ON
>  VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN                ON

Have I done something wrong?

thanks

JB
