Could not connect to any X display.
I am getting same error in linux and Mac OSX. How can I fix that and use paraFoam properly?

my linux is SUSE SLES 15 and Mac OSX is Big Sur

I managed to make paraFoam work in MacOSx after the installation of Paraview. Now I can use Paraview or ParaFoam.

ParaFoam is slower than Paraview.

To use Paraview I had to change the extension .OpenFoam to .foam

However, in SUSE SLES 15 Paraview does not work after installation. It appears to be a conflict between the OpenGL in the software and the NVIDIA driver of the OS.

And I cannot install the new driver from NVIDIA because it says that GUI or NVIDIA persistenced or smi is being used.

But the problem is with paraview itself not paraFoam

Code:
(base) ats4i@jedha:~/OpenFOAM> paraview
