[Paraview] ParaViewWeb installation - partial success, no mouse interaction

[Mario Rossi]

Dear Utkarsh,
thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction although I didn't 
gave many details.

As a side remark, if somebody else runs into similar problems, I guess you meant 
PWService instead of PWAdmin (localhost:8080/PWAdmin does not 

exist: 404 error).

The error log there gave errors like the following either for the PWShuttle or 
PWSimple (error thrown when the view is rotated):

"X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContextTag
  Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  1021
  Current serial number in output stream:  1021"

This reminded me of earlier problems that happened when I disabled 3D 
acceleration. So I enabled 3D acceleration and ParaViewWeb runs without problems 
:))
(I had disabled 3D because it caused problems with other applications. Do you 
happen to have an explanation, why GLXBadContextTag occurs without 3D 
acceleration?)

I am running Ubuntu Linux x86_64 with NVidia Geforce 210M.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Mario

Mario,

Try this:
logon to the administrative page at:
localhost:8080/PWAdmin

Login using admin/admin (unless you changed it in pw-config.properties file).
Now with the shuttle app running, look at the error and output logs
for the active processes. Is it spewing out any error messages?

What browser are you using? What platform?
