Hi, I have installed Paraview in my Ubuntu 22.04 system using "_ **sudo apt-get install paraview** _. After installation I opened paraview but got following error
Loguru caught a signal: SIGSEGV

This looks like a crash in your video driver. Are they up-to-date?

@M_Kumar That is indeed a graphics driver crash. Which AMD card is this on?
Can you run `glxinfo` or `eglinfo`?

Here is the output of `glxinfo`

Thanks. It seems like you should be able to create a valid OpenGL 4.5 context. Although, you’re using an older AMD card with a newer Mesa driver. From [https://videocardz.net/gpu/ati-cedar](https://videocardz.net/gpu/ati-cedar), the card supports OpenGL v4.4. There could be inconsistencies. Have you tried a proprietary AMD driver?

Thanks. I can see the problem. Removed AMD driver with Nvidia card and driver and It worked. But thanks for pointing out the exact error.
