[Paraview] paraview freezes the laptop with Intel graphics card

2009-10-30 Thread siqi chen
Hi,

I am using Paraview 3.7.0 under Fedora 11. But it constantly freezes the
laptop when try to open files such as .vtp or .vti and I have to manually
reboot. This is annoying.
The video card on the laptop is Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Siqi

Hi,

I am running Fedora 11 as well, but with ATI card. Are you experiencing this
problem with *every* vti/vtp files? or only with a few? In the latter case,
the best you can do is to post the concerned files if they are not too
heavy, or to give an url where we can find it.

Best regards,
Jerome

First, try generating some simple data via the sources menu. Ie, a
sphere. Does it crash showing that?

Next try changing the Render View-General Settings. For example
Immediate Mode Rendering to turns on/off GL display lists, similarly
toggle Triangle Strips, and Depth peeling. Which of those settings (if
any) break or fix it?

Hi, Jerome,

This is the weird part. It doesn't crash at specific files. It seems like a
random event.

This sounds like a job for a debugger. gdb paraview and you should get
a stack trace. Better yet build in a debug mode and you can get to a
line number.

 Hi, Dave

 None of these procedures make it crash. The thing I experienced is that
 sometimes (not every time), when you open some random files and click
 apply, it will crash.

W... If it is possible for you to trace a debug built, it could give
useful information. However, I precise my question: are you experiencing
-sometimes- this crash with your files, or it happens also on common files,
such as the one you can find in ParaViewData?

Waiting for your debug trace ;)

Hi,

I forgot to mention that  the whole computer freezes when this happens.
I tried to write the debug information to a file by using
gdb paraview  error.txt
, but there is no error report in the file after I reboot. So it must be
that the computer crashes before any error is written to the file.

What should I do now?

Hi,
If this is a complete freeze, I think that this is not linked to ParaView. I
had this problem on my laptop when running Firefox with more than one tab.
However, this freeze was reported for ATI card. But, as far as I know, Intel
cards show a series of problem under Linux.

Sorry for not being of more help.
