paraview parafoam segmentation fault (core dumped)
 

Hey all!

I was working until a couple of hours ago with OpenFOAM and paraview/paraFoam, until I got a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error... Out of the blue! I have different versions of OF (2.2.2, 2.3.0 and 2.3.1) installed, and paraview/paraFoam crashes with versions 2.3.0 and 2.3.1, but gives no problems with version 2.2.2.

When running the commmand
>gdb paraview
>run

I get the following error...


Starting program: /home/ricardolb/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-4.1.0/bin/paraview

I can finally add that I upgraded my RAM memory about a week ago. I have looked around here and there in the forums and I must say I am pretty lost (considering paraview works in the OF2.2.2. installation, for example...).

Solved...
 

I solved it...! I simply deleted the folder "~/.config/ParaView"... (found here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-3-10-1-a.html)

Now I can forget the morning lost figuring this out...!

Thanks for the post :) !! I was scratching my head for so long.

These kind of errors are quite complicated to find out for non specialist of Linux. I have one currently in another post but I just gave up because I have found another way to use paraview one WSL bash
