Paraview produces error with example from the tutorial

Errors
1

When I am using output of the first example given in the FEniCS tutorial (Poisson equation solution, section 2.3.10 in the tutorial), the Paraview produces an error:

Error reading cell offsets: Unsupported array type: vtkUnsignedIntArray

Paraview plots the examples from their website ok, so it was installed properly. What can be the reason?

This is due to an issue with paraview 5.8.0 (Paraview 5.8.0-RC3 VTK-xml reader: cell offsets cant be unsigned ints (#19698) · Issues · ParaView / ParaView · GitLab) which has been fixed in later releases of Paraview
