[Paraview] Error when connecting to pvserver (pv 4.3.1)

[Schlottke, Michael]

Hi Utkarsh,

It is the same installed version that I use both for the client and the server. As you correctly pointed out, MPI is enabled.

However, I somewhat narrowed down the scope of the problem. Apparently, if I use X forwarding via ssh, everything works correctly. Only if I run the ParaView client from within a VNC session the observed problems occur. Any idea where I might look for a possible solution? Using ParaView via X forwarding is unbearably slow in my current setup…
