Reinstalling Older Version of Ubuntu

I cannot fix this bug.
Theater View is still blank, even after an Ubuntu reinstallation keeping the same version, because older ones don't have supported repositories anymore.
This sucks as I cannot use my MC right now like it was intended in Theater View.

Awesome Donkey:
So we're clear here, which version of Ubuntu are you using?

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS should still work with the installJRMC script. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS would too (as would the latest Ubuntu 22.10) but chances are those two may ship with newer Mesa updates which cause the white screen in MC's theater view. And there *is* a chance that the newer Mesa updates have been backported to Ubuntu 20.04 but someone would have to comment on that one. The installJRMC script won't work with Ubuntu 20.10, as that one's end-of-life as mentioned above. For the best chance at avoiding this issue, I'd use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, not Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and certainly not Ubuntu 20.10.

The same like I said. 22.04.2 LTS

That one is likely too new and likely uses the newer (and broken for you) Mesa. You should probably use Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS instead.

I can't. It doesn't have repositories anymore as I said. I need to install at least openssh and even with 21.10 I couldn't. Older versions are pretty much useless.
