Hi, Sir / Madam;
I had a “segmentation fault” (as following picture) when running paraview after installed the latest openfoam11 in ubuntu 22.04 WSL V2 environment under Window11 23H2. I follow exactly the procedures showed in the link (https://openfoam.org/download/windows/) to install OPENFOAM11 but it seems cannot run the paraview in Ubuntu. I had asked Paraview Forum and they suggest me to raise such question here at Openfoam forum. Anyone can help me with this is really appreciated! Thank you!

Hi
I have the same problem - have you found a solution?

[Jungpin]

nope! There is no solution yet!

[temp_42]

OK, please give an update if you should find a solution

why not simply use a windows binary for paraview?

I did consider this, but I was unsure of how to implement it using WSL. Do you know where to find a tutorial for this implementation?

same here:
Paraview 5.11 and 5.12 seg faults
but paraview 5.6 and 510 is working fine
(using nvidia 470 driver on ubuntu 22.04)

Got all fixed with:
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt purge paraview
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install paraview

OOOPSY:
if I run the paraviews on their own - then all is fine (have to "touch zzz.foam" and then manually open zzz.foam with paraview)
BUT - running
source /opt/openfoam11/etc/bashrc
and THEN running paraFoam OR paraview ... makes everything crashes again.


My Solution thus:
Open paraview OR /opt/openfoam11/bin/paraFoam [separately in another terminal where the openfoam11/etc/bashrc] was NOT applied ... and manually open the case via zzz.foam

Hi, I got my problem solved. I can run the Paraview 5.10.1 from Ubuntu terminal now (no more segmentation fault). What I did were following procedures :
1. unregistered my original Ubuntu at Powershell,
2. re-install Ubuntu-20.04 from Powershell and
3. follow the openFOAM11 installation procedure again.

Now, running Paraview 5.10.1 from Ubuntu terminal is OK. I leave this message in case someone want to try above procedures as I did. Hope this can help other’s question!
