**6**. Problemas com abertura de layers no DELL\\

  * Segundo reportado no fórum da Dell, há um conflito do software de backup da Dell (Dell Backup & Recovery) com diversos componentes do Qt5, dentre eles, a janela de seleção de arquivos (QFileDialog). Dessa forma, efetuando-se a desinstalação deste software (Dell Backup & Recovery), o componente volta a funcionar normalmente. 
  *Pelo que foi reportado no fórum, é um problema crônico, que há vários desenvolvedores reportando, e ainda não possui uma solução. Segue o link do fórum onde o problema foi reportado: ​http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3526/t/19634253

**Answer:**

In your terminal type:
<code>$ QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="" ./terraview</code>
or:
<code>$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=""
$ ./terraview</code>

If the code above doesn't work, you can uninstall the appmenu-qt5:

  * Use the command **sudo apt-get remove appmenu-qt5**.
  * If terraView 5 is open, close and open again.
