Das mit -shell-escape habe ich schon drin, sonst würde ich die andern beiden Bilder ja nicht bekommen.
Mit der Version, mein System ist 32 bit System mit Ubuntu 16.04. Wenn jemand einen Tipp hat, für ein aktuelleres TeX Live, dann gern. Ich benutze momentan den alten Texmaker, die aktuelleren Versionen laufen allerdings, soweit ich weis, nur auf 64 bit.
