Hi all,
ParaView 5.8 RC2 binary does not enable NVIDIA Optix on my Ubuntu 18.04. It does work with ParaView 5.8.1 binary.
It might be related to an error I see for nvidia-smi, but as I said it does work for ParaView 5.8.1 binary.
Here is the output for nvidia-smi:
[~/external/ParaView-5.8.1-MPI-Linux-Python3.7-64bit]$ nvidia-smi
/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe: unrecognized option: “-s”
ERROR: Invalid commandline, please run /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe --help
for usage information.
/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe: unrecognized option: “-s”
