It was working fine before weekend and suddenly it crashes with the following error. I tried installing mesa utilities and also run paraview with --mesa option still getting coredump…
any idea of how and what to be done. I am using ubuntu.

Hi @Ramesh_Kolluru
It looks like you have a graphical issue. Update and reboot ?
