Summary	0006714: pvbatch requires X server
Description	pvbatch cannot be run on a node unless that node has an X server. This makes it impossible to run a batch job on 99.99% of the parallel systems because most nodes don't have an X server.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information	The CVS version updated around 4/1/2008 12:10pm was used. It was linked to Mesa 7.0.1 and all of the GL-releated items point to Mesa. Also the "use offscreen rendering" option was set. The CMakeCache.txt file has been uploaded. A Python program run by pvbatch works fine on one node, the one on which I have logged in to the parallel system, because it has access to an X server. However, the program crashes when using more than one node because the others don't have an X server. Here are a few environment variables where "Edge" contains the CVS version: PATH=.:/usr/local/packages/paraview/Edge/mpi/bin: /usr/local/packages/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4/bin:/usr/local/packages/mvapich2/bin :/usr/local/packages/HDF5/1.8.0/hdf/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/psc/bin:/bin :/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/psc/gnu/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/packages/paraview/Edge/mpi/bin :/usr/local/packages/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4/lib :/usr/local/packages/VTK/5.0.3/nompi/bin:/usr/local/packages/Mesa/7.0.1/lib64 :/usr/local/packages/mvapich2/lib:/usr/local/packages/HDF5/1.8.0/hdf/lib Here's the result of using pvbatch: $ mpiexec -np 2 pvbatch cut.py vtkPVDReader : [ ...........] vtkPVDReader : [ ...........] ... more stuff; a 300x300 window pops up about now vtkPVGeometryFilter : [ ...........] vtkMPIMoveData : [ ...........] vtkPVUpdateSuppressor : [ ...........] vtkOrderedCompositeDistributor : [ ...........] vtkPVTextSource : [ ...........] vtkClientServerMoveData : [ ...........] vtkPVTextSource : [ ...........] vtkClientServerMoveData : [ ...........] vtkPVTextSource : [ ...........] vtkClientServerMoveData : [ ...........] vtkPVTextSource : [ ...........] vtkClientServerMoveData : [ ...........] vtkPVTextSource : [ ...........] vtkClientServerMoveData : [ ...........] Process id: 1 >> ERROR: In /usr/local/packages/paraview/Edge/ParaView3/VTK/Rendering /vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 1425 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0xbbde20): bad X server connection.
