[Paraview] ParaView 5.4.1 | Segmentation Fault

[Fastl, Thomas]

Dear Utkarsh,


I really appreciate your immediate response, thanks! I've check the graphics drivers as you suggested:


tf13 at bioeng087-pc:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request:  155 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
Serial number of failed request:  26
Current serial number in output stream:  26

In addition, execution of './paraview --mesa' works, meaning there's an issue with the graphics drivers?

Best, Thomas

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
