[GNC] Linux Mint version of Gnucash 5.4 Stopped Generating Reports

[Charlie Morrison]

If you have an Nvidia GPU, there is an issue rendering reports in 
Linux.  There is a bug report discussing it and it may be fixed for the 
next release but I'm not sure about that.  The report information is 
there but you can't see it.

The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables 
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for you 
by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpakrun org.gnucash.GnuCash

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.  I have no 
idea how to do that in Linux Mint however.
