I am currently facing an issue with launching ParaView. When I try to open it using the command line, it fails to start properly and displays, “refer the attached.” (can not see paraview display)

The installation was completed via the command line, and I suspect the issue might be related to the GPU.

Could you please advise on what might be causing this issue? Any support or guidance would be highly appreciated.

The debian package of ParaView is not maintained by ParaView developers, you can reach out to Debian if you want.

In any case, the binary download should just work.
