[Paraview] Paraview and vnc/xrdp

[Paul McIntosh]

Torben,

 

This was just off the top of my head - some back ground, we have ParaView
working through TurboVNC/VirtualGL nicely on a Centos 5.8 HPC GPU cluster.
We have another project building a cloud version - as we don't have GPU's
yet it is using Mesa (though I have not tried ParaView but know TurboVNC
works with Mesa).

 

If it is just ParaView and nothing else maybe it is the build? A quick
google shows there are some tricks:

Sorry I can't be more help.

 

Cheers,

 

Paul

Hi

 

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. However I'm not convinced that this is the
problem.

 

As stated glxgears (and ElmerGUI, etc) works. This is using the libGL.so
from libgl1-mesa-swx11, so mesa it self seems to be working.

 

Also, because of things out of my hands, I can only connect to the machine
using Windows Remote Desktop so I cannot choose the vncviewer as I please.

 

Any further help is appreciated, thanks

 

Torben

Torben,

 

Checkout TurboVNC/VirtualGL - pretty sure it can be built with mesa if no
GPU is available.

 

Cheers,

Hi All

 

I'm trying to make paraview run over vnc (and xrdp)

 

I'm using default build from debian wheezy with libgl1-mesa-swx11

 

I have GLX (glxgears) and VTK (simple Python VTK example) working but
paraview shows just the splash screen and the error;

 

X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9

  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)

  Resource id:  0x0

 

and nothing else happens.

 

If I run it as

$ ssh -X localhost paraview

still inside the VNC session it seems to work fine

 

What do I need to make it work directly?

 

Thanks

Regards

Torben
