[Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
Good Morning, I am currently having issues with paraview-3.8.0 and paraview-3.9.0 when trying to use pvbatch and offscreen rendering. When I run with my DISPLAY variable set, I don't have any issues, when the DISPLAY variable is not set it fails with the "cannot connect to X server error". I have built paraview with the following flags to support the offscreen rendering capabilities: OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR OSMESA_LIBRARY VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA=ON VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN=ON VTK_USE_DISPLAY=OFF I have built paraview-3.6.2 with these flags and the pvbatch offscreen rendering works perfectly without the DISPLAY variable being set, the same does not work for 3.8.0 and 3.9.0. Am I missing a new flag for these packages? The mesa version I am using is 7.0.4. The pvbatch command I am running is: mpirun -np 4 pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering testParallelRender.py Thanks in advance for your help, Carrie -- Carrie Spear Software Engineer Lockheed Martin / Army DoD Supercomputing Resource Center Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005 Phone: 410-278-9976 Email: carrie.sp...@us.army.mil ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview

Re: [Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
Carrie, I just tried it with CVS ParaView and I could not reproduce it. Can you reproduce this when running on a single node? Try running ldd on pvbatch, is it getting the right OpenGL libraries?

Re: [Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
Utkarsh, When I do an ldd pvbatch appears to be using the correct libraries GL libraries (I am building agains mesa-7.0.4, could it be that my version of mesa is too old). I ran the following test: bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 bash-3.2$ unset DISPLAY bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY bash-3.2$ mpirun -np 4 pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering testParallelRender.py : cannot connect to X server -- mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 4770 on node ls08270-l.arl.army.mil exiting without calling "finalize". This may have caused other processes in the application to be terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here). -- When I have DISPLAY set it works perfectly.

Re: [Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
That's exactly what I am doing as well ("unset DISPLAY" that is), and seems to work well. Is this a debug build. Can you track down where the error message is coming from? I am not sure where this error message is coming from since it doesn't look like a paraview message and a quick "grep" didn't yield any result. When paraview spews a display error, it looks something as follows: Process id: 0 >> ERROR: In /home/utkarsh/Kitware/ParaView3/ParaView3/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 542 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x3be47e0): bad X server connection.

DISPLAY=p0_29057: Also make sure that OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR, and OSMESA_LIBRARY are set correctly. Just for consistency sake, set the following to default values: VTK_USE_OFFSCREEN=OFF VTK_USE_DISPLAY=ON These need not be changed at all for using OS mesa in ParaView.

Re: [Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
So, we're really stumped. - Paraview (pvbatch) 3.6.2 works exactly as we'd expect. - pvbatch 3.8.0/3.9.0 fail with the "can't open display" error. If we set a display variable, pvbatch works, but that's not really a solution. - All three are using the same exact Mesa library and use the same CMakeInit file during the build. - We've also built by hand (without a CMakeInit file) and get the same error. - See the same display error when running pvbatch serially Not really sure where to turn.

I was writing a response when it struck me, are you building with PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI ON? That's possible the only difference between your build and mine.

Re: [Paraview] pvbatch offscreen rendering problems
Looks like the patch should resolve this issue. I've committed it to CVS. Let me know if that doesn't work. We'll commit it to 3.8 branch soon.
