This is a known issue that affect **all binary versions of ParaView** from [https://paraview.org/download:](https://paraview.org/download:)
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22350](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22350)
**How can I check if I am affected by this issue ?**
Run this:
```auto
/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](https://paraview.org/download) (No GPU needed)
2. Compile ParaView with OSMesa yourself using the [paraview-superbuild](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/)
3. Downgrade the glibc

Another (at least for me) working solution was to launch pvserver with `--mesa`
Tested with a remote server running on SLES 15.6 with libc version 2.38.
