Hi,
I’m trying to setup remote rendering on a cluster node, and connect back to it with paraview client.
So far, I can run pvserver, connect to it with no warnings. When I try to load data, I get …
export DISPLAY=":0"
[peter@node10 bin]# ./pvserver
Waiting for client...
Connection URL: cs://node10.localdomain:11111
Accepting connection(s): node10.localdomain:11111
Client connected.

( 368.558s) [pvserver ]vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.c:578 ERR| vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x1e4be70): Unable to find a valid OpenGL 3.2 or later implementation. Please update your video card driver to the latest version. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 11.2 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2 such as llvmpipe or openswr. If you are on windows and using Microsoft remote desktop note that it only supports OpenGL 3.2 with nvidia quadro cards. You can use other remoting software such as nomachine to avoid this issue.

Whilst running pvserver and connected (but before loading data) nvidia-smi shows

glxgears works ok
# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

Glxinfo seems to report what I expect

I’ve been through the steps of https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server#X_Connections
but still no luck.
Any insights would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
