Wow, that's really garbled.

It does not look like the problem I've seen before.

I just want to make sure you can make an output image at all. It does
not have to be a useful rendering just take a screenshot of the sphere
source. Then if that works and if you're doing volume rendering or
something more advanced, then try to make the rendering closer, a little
at a time, to what you are trying to do for real.

The Paraview GUI switches to offscreen rendering to make an output
image, but there is a check-box to turn that off and on.

The problem I've seen where the output images were garbled ( not as
badly as yours ) would happen whenever paraview or vtk took a
screenshot.  It did not matter if I used the GUI or not, offscreen or
not, nor if there was a screen attached to the X server.

So everything works as long as the rendering is displayed on an actual
monitor?
