I installed Linux v5.11.1 but I get the following errors on startup:

```auto
Running executable program /cae/apps/kitware/paraview/5.11/linux_x86_64/bin/paraview

Please update your video card driver to the latest version. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 11.2 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2 such as llvmpipe or openswr. If you are on windows and using Microsoft remote desktop note that it only supports OpenGL 3.2 with nvidia quadro cards. You can use other remoting software such as nomachine to avoid this issue.

This is run with X-forwarding. I can run xclock from the server so I know that it works. I don’t know what to do for this issue. Can you provide a solution?

Thanks

Hi @techn0gichida

Simple, do not do that. X forwarding do not support a high enough OpenGL implementation for ParaView to work with.

If you connect using ssh to your server, you should be able to user remote connection, see this: [How do I do client/server visualization on a remote cluster or supercomputer with ParaView?](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/how-do-i-do-client-server-visualization-on-a-remote-cluster-or-supercomputer-with-paraview/6963)
