Summary0011382: Client/server crashes with trunk
DescriptionParaView trunk is not making connections client/server.
Trunk ParaView as of October 29 afternoon.
Windows client.

Tested 3.8.1, this works (thus, probably not a system problem)

I am trying to narrow this down, so until we understand, I will keep notes in this bug.

I was asked to try to make something that can be replicated, and think I may be able to repeat a bug. I am not sure if this is related to the bug listed above, but I think it is.

ParaView master, as of November 1, 2010 early afternoon.
Windows 7 build, Visual 2008.
Cmake changes
  - PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON.
Make ParaView, debug build.

Both client and server will be run from this Windows box.

 ../bld/ParaView3/bin/Debug/paraview.exe --server=Manual --connect-id=111
-- Note that there is a default-servers.pvsc in the bin directory. It includes the following ( note reverse connection):

<Server name="Manual" owner="user" resource="csrc://localhost" >
 <ManualStartup/>
</Server>

 ../bld/ParaView3/bin/Debug/pvserver.exe -rc --connect-id=111

ParaView will start.
Edit/Settings/ Render View/ Server/ Remote Rendering Parameters - set to 0 MBytes.

A black window will pop up, labeled Visualization Toolkit - Win32OpenGL #1. I have never seen this before, and don't think it belongs here.

I have been able to replicate a black window on some other clusters, right before it crashes a very bad death. In this simple case I cannot create a crash, but can every single time when running on any of numerous clusters. There are no output error prints from the server side, but the client says the following. This was a totally new build from scratch. This occurs when connecting from Windows to cluster, or Linux to cluster, or cygwin ssh'ing to Linux to cluster.

Oh - one more detail. When I got rid of my Paraview state files in .config on Linux, or on Windows, ParaView seemed to become stable until I changed the Remote Rendering Parameters to 0 MB. I wonder if the problem isn't triggered by remote rendering, on any platform.

Alan,

Just to clarify about the black window. You'll always see the black window on the server processes when remote-rendering is enabled (and server is not compiled with offscreen mesa). That's the server-side render window in which the rendering happens. Originally, the window would show the renderings too since there were unnecessary buffer swaps which I removed so you only see a black window now.

Yep, Utkarsh found the bug. Works like a champ.

Tested windows client, blackrose and redsky servers.
