Summary0006714: pvbatch requires X server
Descriptionpvbatch 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.
Additional InformationThe 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/mvapich2/lib:/usr/local/packages/HDF5/1.8.0/hdf/lib

Here's the result of using pvbatch:

$ mpiexec -np 2 pvbatch cut.py

Marking this closed, since I don't have a good way to test it.
