Hi, I had a hard time trying to run pvserver on OS X 10.6.2 from a remote client with the system OpenMPI. At the very moment I was about to hit "Send" for the following email asking for help, somehow I found a solution. :) In case it is of any help to someone else, I am sending the mail as-is anyway, but with the solution, which is to add --no-daemonize to the mpirun command line.
> mpirun --no-daemonize --hostfile hostfile -np 2 pvserver ----- I am having a hard time trying to run pvserver (built from 3.7-cvs of around a week ago) on an OS X 10.6.2 box from a remote OS X 10.6.2 client using the system OpenMPI. First, when pvservers are launched locally with mpirun from the console on the server and connected from the client, everything works perfectly. Next, I launch pvservers on the server from the client using OpenMPI with mpirun > mpirun --hostfile hostfile -np 2 pvserver (where hostfile contains the hostname of the server) the ParaView client can connect to the server. Further, I was able to open a small case and see its (locally rendered) visualization. However, as soon as I apply a filter that generates complex geometry (e.g. Glyph) and the rendering switches to the server, the pvservers crash leaving the following error message. pvserver[7023] <Error>: kCGErrorRangeCheck: On-demand launch of the Window Server is allowed for root user only. pvserver[7023] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. pvserver[7024] <Error>: kCGErrorRangeCheck: On-demand launch of the Window Server is allowed for root user only. pvserver[7024] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. (backtrace follows) I googled for "kCGErrorRangeCheck: On-demand launch of ..." but found no useful info. Is anyone successful in this usage scenario? If so, how?
