[Paraview] ParaView 5.4.1 | Segmentation Fault

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Thomas,

Check your graphics drivers. You can use tools like `glxinfo` to tell
you which OpenGL version is supported. ParaView now requires 3.2 or
newer. If you cannot upgrade your graphics drivers, you can use
software OpenGL implementation packaged by ParaView binaries as
follows:

.../paraview --mesa

Hope that helps,
Utkarsh
