ParaView crashes intermittently

ParaView Support

ParaView crashes intermittently when launched, happens about 50% of time.
I use vglrun, to use the OpenGL rendering on NVIDIA GPUs.

Can you please suggest a fix to this?

Here’s the stack of the crash.

$ vglrun paraview

Happens with all versions I tried - 5.9, 5.11.0, 5.11.1

Looks like a bug in your GPU driver. Try to update it.

Many thanks for your response.

The issue persists with newer versions of GPU drivers as well.
I tried NVIDIA driver versions 525.78.01, 535.54.03, 545.23.06.

Are there any recommended versions GPU drivers?

The last one provided by your vendor. In any case, this is not a ParaView, but either an hardware or driver issue on your end.
