Summary0013813: Remote Rendering Issues: Data Not Displayed in Client GUI; Crashes Also Occur
Description
Remote rending is not working when using client/server mode. Instead of seeing the rendered data in the client, I see colored stripes. All types of remote rendering do not appear to work (volume, surface, wireframe, etc.) when loading vti or vtk files. Dragging the mouse in the client viewing area leads to ICET warnings (see below). Loading some data files causes server or both client and
server to crash. "Remote" rendering does seem to work just fine if I run pvserver on the local machine with the same 'Render View -> Server' Settings.

I am using version 3.98 compiled from source on both client (Ubuntu 12.04 64bit 3.2.35 Linux) and server (Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 64bit 2.6.35).

Below are the steps I follow to reproduce the error, along with client and server output:

0) My ParaView Client 'Render View -> Server' Settings:
'Remote Render Threshold' is checked and slider is set to 0 MBytes
'Interactive Subsample Rate' is checked and slider is set to 4 Pixels

1) Start client:
research@client:~$ paraview

2) Start server:
research@server:~$ mpirun -np 7 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

3) Manually connect to server:
Client connected.

The IceT warnings

ICET,0:WARNING: Physical render dimensions not large enough to render all tiles.

are caused when the calling application (i.e. ParaView server) asks for a larger tile (through icetAddTile) than the OpenGL context can support. It looks like the class vtkIceTCompositePass is supposed to manage that state. Somehow it is asking IceT to render an image larger than the available rendering window. I would first check the method vtkIceTCompositePass::UpdateTileInformation() to make sure it is getting the correct render window size. You might also check vtkTilesHelper::GetTileViewport() to ensure that nothing is padding the viewport by a pixel through numerical floating point error.

I tried using pvserver *without* mpi, and still no rendering for any representation of the data (Surface, Points, etc.). In addition, when using eg the attached vti file (test.vti), I get the crash shown below, but only when choosing the 'Volume' representation (all the other representations (Surface, Points, etc.) while still not rendering, but do not cause a crash).
