[GNC] Report creation not functioning

[David T.]

Louise is running into a known problem with NVidia video cards under Linux, which that command line argument addresses. If you don't have the particular video card, you won't get the problem. Past users have created a shortcut that calls GnuCash with that parameter. I do not know whether there have been fixes in Linux to address the problem. 

This was discussed on this list a couple of years back, I believe. See, for example:
