[Paraview] headless paraview installation

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi guys,

the WebGL export need to be requested by the client. Is the issue
happening with the sample applications or with a custom one ?
Do you know if switching back to another render just work or as
Goodwin suggested a segfault occurred ?
You can look at the log files in the working.dir/logs/pw-xxxx.log

Moreover, which version of ParaView are you using ? 3.14.1 ?
