Hi, I am very new to paraview and I was learning how to use openfoam when this error came up whenever I use the allrun script on the tutorials

 ![image](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dd09bdb14e182c05fd4548228d03468e1236f7ec.png)  
this has made me unable to run any scripts on the computer. Additionally to note is that when i run the Allrun scripts, I have to grant it permission using chmod despite operating the computer as a root user. Can anyone help me understand why that is?  
Regards

Sounds like you need OpenFOAM help, not ParaView help.

but what about the error in the vtk file, is it also related to openFoam?  
Also how do I interact with error window? At the moment I am unable to expand all the error messages in the output messages window

Click on “Show full messages” but the actual error is shown already,
