Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start ParaView 2. Try and visualise a bit of data Actual results: See black area or nothing at all Expected results: The visualisation Additional info: From the message window: rWindow.cxx, line 736 vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow (0x558730bf76f0): GLEW could not be initialized. qt.qpa.wayland: Non-toplevel surfaces can't request window states qt.qpa.wayland: Non-toplevel surfaces can't request window states qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate() qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate() ERROR: In /builddir/build/BUILD/ParaView-v5.6.0/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 736 vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow (0x5587345c6930): GLEW could not be initialized.

Does: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb paraview help?
Filed upstream: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19481
ParaView (nor VTK for that matter) does not support Wayland natively. You'll need to use XWayland.
Can also try: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 paraview
Both of those do indeed work. Perhaps these workarounds could be integrated in such a way that starting it from the UI will work with Wayland. Apologies for the delay in responding.
Is there some `.desktop` entry we could add to indicate that it needs X yet?

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
