[GNC] Gnucash 5.7/8 on Linux Mint 21.3

[Nigel Stapley]

I am not that tech savvy so forgive me if this doesn't make sense. You may
recall that there was an issue with 4.X for some over blank reports. John
offered the above solution which seemed to work for most people but not for
me. I had to revert to nvidia 470 which had been changed somehow ( I may
have chosen to update it). As far as I recall I could do this through
nvidia settings app.This was a system version gnucash which is currently
4.8. The system version currently works with either nvidia driver. As I
wanted the latest version I installed the flatpak version 5.8. It now
appears that I can only have one driver installed at a time. Following
John's response I used the package manager to install 470. But this could
only be done if I uninstalled 390, which I did. Having downloaded 470 I
installed it and, after rebooting 5.8 is working fine. I can't see how I
have any choice on my system to choose the driver while running in flatpak.
Hope that helps.

BTW I have been using GC since 2011 - great program, great community. Many
thanks to the devoted developers and maintainers.
Nigel
