[GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

[David H]

Yeah I had issues with Ubuntu 20.04 as per your email - I think I fixed the
canberra-gtk module error by installing it as per
https://itslinuxfoss.com/fix-failed-load-module-canberra-gtk-module-error/

I also have an NVidia video card in one of my pc's and had issues with
Ubuntu 20.04 or 20.10 - finally blew it away and did a fresh install of
22.10 from memory.

Cheers David H.
