I'm using Ubuntu 22 and ParaView osmesa binary crashes on rendering

FAQ
1

This is a known issue that affect all binary versions of ParaView from https://paraview.org/download:

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22350

How can I check if I am affected by this issue ?

Run this:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

If it says something >= 2.35, you are affected and cannot use the osmesa binary release.

What can I do to work around this bug ?

  1. Use the EGL release from https://paraview.org/download
  2. Compile ParaView with OSMesa yourself using the paraview-superbuild
  3. Downgrade the glibc
