Paraview GUI view malfunction?

Hi,
I’ve been using the same version of paraview on the same computer for 2 years, and it was working just fine this morning and then in the evening the GUI just started glitching.
Specifically I just want to plot over line for the classic cavity flow case, however the line chart view won’t show properly (i checked and it seems to happen to other views as well).

I have restarted the computer, install the latest version 5.13, didn’t work, so I reinstall the version i was using which is 5.10, didn’t work either. So now I start wondering if it was because of my computer malfunctioning?

Which OS are you using ?

Which graphic driver are you using ?

Which GPU are you using ?

Do you see the same error between 5.10 et 5.13 ?

Hi,
Sorry, I’m not very good with IT and i don’t have full access to the computer as it belongs to my company, but I’ll try my best to answer your questions:
OS : Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Graphics: NV137
GPU: NVIDIA QUADRO P400
And yes, same error between 5.10 and 5.13, but I have never had this problem before on the same computer.
Thank you.

You are currently not using your GPU vendor driver.

What is the output of glxinfo ?

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa

You are not using your GPU, you need to fix that.

I’m sorry but how do I use it?

I’m afraid this is not a ParaView question, but you may want to follow a guide like this one:
