Hello,
using the latest RPMs on CentOS 6, Paraview 3.12
x86_64 makes the server segfault in swscale.
The segfault happens as soon as the client connects; or as soon as Paraview is started, if the client was already connected.
Confirmed with CentOS
6.4 fully up to date and xpra 0.8.8
:
ERROR: In /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/ParaView-master/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 404 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1f0be50): Could not find a decent visual ERROR: In /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/ParaView-master/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 404 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1f0be50): Could not find a decent visual ERROR: In /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/ParaView-master/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 609 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1f0be50): GLX not found. Aborting. Aborted
It needs the GL extension which is not available with Xvfb.
I then tried it with Xdummy and that works fine, so either use the Xorg xdummy packages in the repo or upgrade to CentOS
6.4 (RPM packages for 6.4 should have Xdummy enabled by default starting with 0.9.0).
New details I was not aware of:
The problem apparently fixed itself, not sure how/why...
