so me and my advisor wanted to ta save some scenes from MANY data. Basically I made a trace and it does the job for the data on my PC.
After running it through ssh with No-X I got this error:
```auto
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 66
Current serial number in output stream: 67
```
then I added -X, and even though I was able to do some other processes (cut data so its size is small), when it came to image output, I got this error:
```auto
( 71.382s) [main thread]vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.:451 ERR| vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x564e23768ae0): bad X server connection. DISPLAY=:0. Aborting.
```
I’m pretty sure I should be able to run the Python Script without using ssh-X.
Has any of you any idea what to do next?
Should I install the headless paraview like I read in some similar probelm?

Can you try running using
–force-offscreen-rendering
parameter to pvpython (or pvbatch)

I tried it. Didn’t work (Actually these errors also included a try with force-offscreen-rendering.
I downloaded the headless version of Paraview, and decided to run it. I got some "use ‘Line’ instead of ‘high resolution line’ " and now I send the script again to run and hopefull the Osmesa Version will be enough. ☹

Αctually it worked! Downloaded the Osmesa version, changed some thingies ( Point Source to Cloud , HD Line to Line as pointed out in documentation) and everything is smooth!
