Hi, Sir / Madam;
I had a “segmentation fault” when running paraview after installed the latest openfoam11 in ubuntu 22.04 environment. But I am not sure whether my situation are the same as aforesaid ones or not. Here I upload the screen image for this errors messages for reference. I don’t know how to fix these now! Thank you for any advice!

  1. This looks like Ubuntu 22.04 under WSL2 on Windows11, is that correct ?
  2. You are running paraview from a Windows binary installation folder ? Which command are you actually using ?
  3. You mention OpenFOAM, are you using paraFOAM here ?

  2. I actually run the paraview under my ubuntu working directory and this is something like the attached picture. I use “paraview” as the command and just ran it and came up with attached different message now.

  3. No, I didn’t use “paraFOAM” as the command. I just following openfoam instruction to process the whole installation procedures. It said use “paraview” to run it (attached jpg)

appreciate your reading and responses!

I following the instruction and ran the XLaunch before ran the “paraview” and same error massage now!

Since this tutorial is written by OpenFOAM, I suggest to ask on their forum.

@olesenm : Any ideas why this tutorial suggest to use ParaView under WSL ?

OK, I will do that. But, thank you anyway!

Alternatively, use the Windows Binary Release from paraview.org/download

Hi, I got my problem solved. I can run the Paraview from Ubuntu terminal now (no more segmentation fault). What I did were following procedures : unregistered my original Ubuntu, re-install Ubuntu-20.04 from Powershell and follow the openFOAM installation procedure again. Now, running Paraview from Ubuntu terminal is OK. I leave this message in case someone got the same problem as I did. Hope this can help other’s question!
Thank you!
