[Xastir] Map tile display issue

Hello,

I am new to Xastir. I just completed a fresh install and have had great
success with receiving stations and configuring my station. I am using an
Acer AspireOne ZG5 loaded with Xubuntu. I am now experimenting with the
different map types. Currently, the only map that works is the default
worldhi.map (I believe this is an offline map that is static). I am trying
to use the internet OSM maps, such as Online/OSM_tiled.cycle.geo and
others.

With every map, I am getting all black tiles. I have no error or
connectivity messages in the terminal. I have played with different
settings in the properties tab. When I load the map, it appears to download
and load the map (x out of x tiles etc). For some reason, the tiles are not
showing up correctly. I have a feeling the process to download them is
working properly.

On a side note, I get the status message "map not found in cache" when
trying to load the Online/nationalmap.gov maps. In the terminal I get
"internet map timeout" error messages.

Any help is appreciated. Ultimately I want to download an offline map, but
I'd like for the online tiles to be functional too. I have not gone as far
to try an offline map and see if I have the same issue.

Thank you,
