| Description | I have downloaded openfoam 4.1 on a Mac OS. I have also downloaded the recommended Docker for Mac and Paraview. I am able to run the recommended tutorial "simpleFoam" however when I type in "paraFoam" I receive the following error: No protocol specified paraview: cannot connect to X server 143.215.57.249:0 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Follow steps for downloading the Openfoam 4.1 for Mac. https://openfoam.org/download/4-1-macos/ When attempting to run step 7, paraFoam will not run. An error will pop up. | ||||

A few questions: 1- Which specific Mac OS X version are you using? 2- When following the step #4 on the instructions page - https://openfoam.org/download/4-1-macos/ - were there any error messages? 3- Have you tried rebooting your machine, to ensure that every service is fully operational? 4- Before running ParaView, are you able to open gedit? In other words, what happens if you run: gedit |

I am using 10.11.6 El Capitan. I received no error when following step #4. I rebooted my machine and my previous issue has resolved. Now I am receiving a new error. When I run the command "paraFoam" I receive the following: OpenFOAM-4.1(14) paraFoam libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2 Extension: 149 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 3 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x0 |

After a bit of Googling for "El Capitan Xquartz swrast", I found the following details: 1- This issue started occurring as of Xquartz 2.7.9, therefore the simplest hypothesis would be to downgrade the Xquartz installation (found about this in a blog post). 2- Or try following the instructions from the following bug report: https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/issues/13941#note-1 - namely in the first note. I'll copy/adapt from there the instructions that seem relevant for future record (the original instructions there were written by Kyle Knoepfel some 9 months ago): 1. Modify the "startx" file after saving the old "startx" to something else (eg startx.orig). There are two sections to add in a few new lines of code, as indicated by the '+' signs in the patch notes. 2. Launch XQuartz. 3. Type the following in the XQuartz xterm window: defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true I don't have access to a machine with Mac OS X, therefore I'm unable to test these steps. @chris: Any chance we can also get feedback on this from the people that contributed to the instructions page at https://openfoam.org/download/4-1-macos/ ? |

Which version of Xquartz are you using? |
|
|
I think this issue was fixed in XQuartz 2.7.10 and the current version is 2.7.11. XQuartz is an open source project that receives no support from Apple who reported a profit of $17.9 billion last quarter. If Apple don't care, why should we? |
