Crashes in Client Server Mode

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 7:01am

Hi,

I’m running paraview in client server mode but whenever I try to load any solution (.vtu) the server side always crashes and I get the following error message on my laptop

whilst on server side I get the following error:

I’ve already checked that the two versions of ParaView I’m using matches (for reference 5.10.1).

How I can solve this issue?

Hi @Frankx9

Please share your .vtu file

Best,

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 10:46am

Hi @mwestphal

here it is Send

It works just fine when I open it locally on my laptop

Regards

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 10:52am

Opens fines in ParaView 5.11 on Linux.

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 10:54am

Locally it works fine (same file copied on my laptop), the issue is when I try to open it from client mode (i.e. connecting to a cluster where I have those files stored)

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 10:55am

I used Client/Server mode, it works fine.

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 10:56am

Could you please try with 5.10.1? Is it probably related to ParaView version I’m using?

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 10:59am

Works great in 5.10.1 too I’m afraid.

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 11:00am

With the errors you shared, you may have a rendering issue on the server side. You should use egl/osmesa version on server side or force client side rendering.

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 11:02am

I’m launching it on server side as

mpiexec pvserver

How would you recommend to do ?

The version on server side is 5.10.1-osmesa-MPI-Linux-Python3.9

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 11:06am

no need to use mpiexec if you run with a single mpi process. But this is not the issue.

How would you recommend to do ?

First check with your cluster IT, if they provide paraview this way, there must be a reason.

5.10.1-osmesa-MPI-Linux-Python3.9

This should work out of the box, although the warning seems to imply that you are using mesa. Please share Help → About content when connected to the server.

To use client side rendering, just set your “Remote Render Threshold” to the max possible value in Edit- > Settings → RenderView

Looks correct

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 11:13am

@mwestphal
I’ve also done that:

But still getting:

When you’ve opened the foo.vtu file, were you using osmesa or egl version of ParaView?

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 12:41pm

I just did, works great.

Can you try that locally ?

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 12:43pm

What should I try? Loading foo.vtu locally on my laptop?

mwestphal · February 17, 2023, 12:44pm

Download osmesa version from https://www.paraview.org/download/
extract it
run the pvserver from it
run paraview from the standard version
connect to server
open your file

Frankx9 · February 17, 2023, 12:50pm

I’ll update you as soon as I can

Frankx9 · February 18, 2023, 12:44pm

At this point I do not know, you should check on another computer.
