[Paraview] Error message: Not supported on OpenGL ES when I launch Paraview

Fri Sep 8 09:00:03 EDT 2017

Antonio,

Do you happen to have an integrated graphics chip on your laptop? I
wonder if ParaView is set to use integrated graphics rather than your
NVIDIA card and isn't liking what it finds. You can try going to the
NVIDIA control panel. Under 3D Settings in the panel on the left,
click on "Manage 3D settings". On the right side, click on the "Global
Settings" tab. Make sure "High-performance NVIDIA processor" is
selected. Apply the changes, then run ParaView again to see if the
problem is resolved.
