Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
Are you sure the display is accessible on the server machine? What happens when you open something like gvim?

Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
I never used the the -X option when connecting with ssh on the server in order to initialize pvserver. I think now the solution is to use the -X but start pvserver with option "-dc" PO On 2010-01-27, at 2:35 PM, Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: > Are you sure the display is accessible on the server machine?

Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
Well it does not solve my problem ... I never had this behaviour before / connecting with X was not necessary. This problem started this week / last week cvs was fine. Any idea why it's causing that ?

Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
I've just run into the same problem (CVS updated at earlier in the week) and I cannot run pvserver without a X display. It means I can't run it on my cluster (not even when using OSMesa and the --use-offscreen-rendering option) Any ideas?

Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
Hi Utkarsh, The X display is being opened when the QApplication is created in vtkQtInitialization constructor. You added this call to vtkSMApplication last month although the code is inside ifdefs for VTK_USE_QVTK. I couldn't see any cmake build option for this (unless it is VTK_USE_QVTK_QTOPENGL). My current workaround is just to remove these calls and it seems to work - but I'm guessing you put it in there for a reason ;) Regards, Paul On 28 January 2010 16:46, Paul Edwards wrote: > I've just run into the same problem (CVS updated at earlier in the week) > and I cannot run pvserver without a X display.

Re: [Paraview] pvserver : cannot connect to X server
Ah! Nice catch. QApplication needed to be initialized by the SMApplication for chart proxies when using them through pvpython/pvbatch. Attached is patch. Let me know if that fixes the issue? I'll commit it tomorrow.
