Have installed Paraview in my sandbox. When paraview is launched using OOD it submits the job to the UGE queue. When it goes to the “Paraview Queued” and “Launch Paraview” screen then it is removed from the queue. Eventually the screen goes away.
Here is the output.log file. It appears that the VNC server loads properly.

Looking at the standard error file it appears that the window manager for xfce4 (xfwm4) is having issues and displays a Glib-CRITCAL error, and cannot open a display via VirtualGL.

The “xsetroot -solid ‘#D3D3D3’ “ command seems to work but then when it tries to execute “xfsettingsd --sm-client-disable” it gets the error

Tried to run the commands directly on the compute nodes by “SSH -Y” to the compute node. It seems to be having issues finding a screen to manage.

This brings up part of the xfce desktop (inner panel missing) but has the application pull-down menu (top part) and the bottom icons. If I click on Applications → Other is Paraview then it displays the Paraview screen.
The X server seems to working since I can display xclock and other X-applications. vglxinfo provides at the top and the remainder of output seems good.
name of display: localhost:10.0
display: localhost:10 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
glxgears runs fine but when running vglrun glxgears it provides
compute-19-11:$ vglrun glxgears

12.200.21.2 is the local IP for the OOD server machine. Changed the display to the “name of display” given by vglxinfo and a windows shows up but quickly closes.
