Molecules not shown

[leofedep]

When I open avogadro the molecules are present, but they don't show. When debugger is enabled I could see the number or atoms and bonds. If I execute from terminal, this is what it comes:

Thanks in advance!!!!

I have exactly the same issue and I'm also on debian9. The molecules are not shown independently of the format loaded. However I found that when I tried to rotate and zoom (a lot) I was able to find some positions in which the molecules were (partially) visible but disappeared when I rotated/zoomed a bit more.

[leofedep]

Immentel is exactly the same for me.

Same for me, also after installing Debian 9 (MATE 1.16.2). There is also no difference as whether avogadro is launched with Intel of Nvidia GPU.
If I could try to add my bit to what lmmentel said, the molecules seem to emerge from some plane when rotated, or they disappear beneath that plane. All properties of the molecule are accessible, i.e., the program definitely knows there is one. Also, axes sometimes disappear during the addition of atoms, too; when this happens, coordinates of all atoms that have been just added are displayed as nan, and molecular mechanics fails to run with such input data.
Actually, I have also seen something like this for Gabedit – on the same freshly installed Debian 9. But, just the opposite, it happens only for certain zooms – the molecule dips beneath some plane when being rotated. So this is probably Debian issue. But which package is responsible for it? In the "Issues to be aware of for stretch" there is chapter "Perl changes that may break third-party software". Maybe this is the reason for some incompatibilities? I tried installing CGI Perl packages, as well as libmodule-build-perl (with its literally 50 dependencies) – the packages specifically cited in the chapter I mentioned earlier – but this did not help.

Today I have installed updates, among which was python-avogadro (to 1.2.0-1+dev9u1 version). After this, problems were gone for me. Hope for the rest of You also.

If nobody else complains, I consider that this bug is fixed then?

[leofedep]

It's fixed for me. Thank you!!!!

[beangoben]

This works for the newest ubuntu 17.04...but if you are using anything below (16.10)...you are stuck and still have to deal with this problem.

[beangoben]

Not fixed, updated to ubuntu 17.04 which uses 1.2.0-1build1 and it is still not working.
Can provide screenshot and console messages is needed.

[s-ansa]

The same problem.
Ubuntu 19.10
Avogadro 1.2.0
Open Babel 2.4.1
