[Paraview] Paraview v5.0.0-rc2 with OpenGL2 backend failing to start in parallel

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Frank,

Since you said you recompiled ParaView, I suspect that maybe you forgot to
update the submodules ParaView uses. In the ParaView source tree, run

git status

If VTK is listed, it may say there are new commits available for VTK. To
update VTK, run

git submodule update

This has been an issue a few folks have encountered in the past.

Also, double-check that your ParaView client and server are truly from the
same build.

HTH,
Cory
