Hi, I’m having a weird issue after installing paraview 5.11.1 on vmware vm with a NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU.

When opening the application, I’m presented with a blank white screen. Weirdly, I’m able to hover over the navigation pane at the top of the application and able to see options.

When scanning through your knowledge base article \ forums, it looks like a GPU issue. Also another observation, when installing on my client machine and under ‘Paraview \> About’ I see OpenGL under client information and on the VM I do not see this ☹ Can someone help me please

I’ve also tried installing 5.11.2 and getting the same issue.

Why do you use vmware for web deployment? Docker with nvidia runtime might be a better option.
