SIGABRT after throwing VisRTX::Exception in CentOS 6.10

ParaView Support
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve just installed ParaView 5.7 (ParaView-5.7.0-RC4-MPI-Linux-Python3.7-64bit.tar.gz) in a CentOS 6.10. The machine comes with 2 P5000 GPU (configured now with SLI and drivers up to date from the official website) and when I run the binary to open the program, it shows me the following output:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'VisRTX::Exception'
  what():  Invalid value

Loguru caught a signal: SIGABRT
Stack trace:

I tried with another version (5.2) and the program works. I think the issue here is with the graphics, maybe with the X server or something with the GPU.

What should I do?

Kind regards,

@tbiedert Any advice on how to debug?

Would be good to know where exactly the exception is thrown.

Can you try building VisRTX manually (in debug mode preferably) and test if you can run the basic sample application?

Thanks!
Tim

Hi @tbiedert and @cory.quammen,

Thank you so much for your time. I’ll try to download the source and requirements and do an installation with verbose. I’ll send you the outputs of the build and the test as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I’m having some issues intalling CUDA 8, because it’s not detecting my nvidia drivers. I have installed 430.50, so it shoudl work.

I have downloaded OpticX and MDL SDK (also VisRTX), but I cannot install VisRTX until I have CUDA.

I’ll contact you as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your time,

Hi there,

Sorry for not responding. I’m still having issues with CUDA 8 and the drivers.

Is there another way to test paraview?

Thank you so much,

Replicated. I wrote it up here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/19863. I will get a debugger in it and see what is going on.
