Note: Paraview was before coupled with Openfoam (12 and 2312)

Does anyone know where the issue come from?

sudo apt install paraview

tells me that the latest version of paraview is installed.

Cheerio,

Do you have a Xorg server running ?

3

no

ParaView needs Xorg to run. ParaView is a GUI application.

in fact I do have it installed. Sorry:

Ok, is it running ? Do you have a graphical environment ?

What is the output of echo $DISPLAY ? Does glxinfo works ?

I do have a graphical environnement

echo $DISPLAY

results

:0

The windowing system is X11

In fact, running paraview from the ubuntu app does work :thinking: But running from the terminal doesn´t work :thinking:

In fact, runing paraview and parafoam from the terminal works.

It seems that some updates were blocked by my IT. running an update and restarting seems to work fine. :crossed_fingers: (I realized the migration to 24.04 wasn´t effective. I need to run it now)

→ resolved. Thanks for the help and resposivity.
