See also bug 25444. Installed to try paraview-5.6.0-4.mga7.x86_64.rpm (it is huge). Lots of /bin/* including paraview itself. "Summary : Parallel visualization application Description : ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application." No man page; it is in the Science sub-menu (Paraview Viewer). Under MATE desktop, the menu icon does nothing; consistent with: $ paraview [localhost.localdomain:30413] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ess_singleton_module.c at line 388 [localhost.localdomain:30413] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ess_singleton_module.c at line 166 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry!

So this does *not* seem to be Gnome|Wayland related. Assigning to Joe as the 'paraview' maintainer.

Still valid on Mageia 8 Beta 1.

(In reply to Aurelien Oudelet from comment #4) > Upstream version available is 5.8 (August, 4th 2020) > > @Cyril > Have you ever tried running upstream binaries as they are provided? I never tried to run upstream binary. But I had compiled 5.4 and 5.6 on Mageia and it compiles and works well.
Now it works it Cauldron and Mageia 7. So bug fixed.
