[Paraview] Suddenly cannot volume render?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

You've have turned on multi-core support. Go to your settings dialog
(Edit |Settings) and uncheck "Use Multi-Core". When checked this
internally runs a pvserver to attempt to use all your cores for data
processing-- thus effectively in client-server mode with remote
rendering forced to off. Which means volume rendering is an issue.
This is indeed an experimental feature and we are working on better
multicore support for future generations of computing technologies.
