Hello,
I had been using paraview 6.0.1 since its release on my system and it always worked, yesterday I did the classic update & upgrade of the system, and today when opening paraview i get an error and can not open at all.

Your graphic driver is broken: [Paraview display is completely corrupted with white/grey triangles after a driver update](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/paraview-display-is-completely-corrupted-with-white-grey-triangles-after-a-driver-update/17474)
( i know, this is the windows version of this bug but probably the same)

You are not using your NVIDIA GPU currently.

what i thought, never configured this before, paraview was detecting it automatically. how one sets up to use the NVIDIA GPU? (linux/ubuntu in my case and paraview 6.0.1 downloaded from the tar file)

It was not, ParaView is using whatever OpenGL you provide.
you can run `glxinfo` to check.

```
