Nope. Sorry. That didn’t work, but I think of similar cause, since installed Paraview ( **version 5.9.0-1**  
**, from aur** : Arch User Repository) & packaged binary behaves in the same way…

Here I’m posting the error from the downloaded version ( **ParaView-5.9.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.8-64bit** /bin/Paraview). This might give some hint to you guys, but not in my forte:

```
