[Paraview] Segfault in ParaView 4.4 RC2

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Matthieu,

My hunch is that there is a problem with the OpenGL provided by VirtualBox
with 3D acceleration enabled. I have not found 3D acceleration to work well
with my Ubuntu 140.04 installation, so I just disable it.

Could you try disabling 3D acceleration and see if ParaView still crashes?

Thanks,
Cory
