Hi,
I try to run paraview on Ubuntu 24.04. I get the following error typing `paraview` in the terminal
Note: Paraview was before coupled with Openfoam (12 and 2312)
```auto
hwloc/linux: Ignoring PCI device with non-16bit domain.
Pass --enable-32bits-pci-domain to configure to support such devices
(warning: it would break the library ABI, don't enable unless really needed).

Does anyone know where the issue come from?
```auto
sudo apt install paraview
```
tells me that the latest version of paraview is installed.
Cheerio,

Do you have a Xorg server running ?

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

Ok, is it running ? Do you have a graphical environment ?
What is the output of ` echo $DISPLAY` ? Does `glxinfo` works ?

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

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. 🤞 (I realized the migration to 24.04 wasn´t effective. I need to run it now)
→ resolved. Thanks for the help and resposivity.
