gnucash in Sarge crashes when opening file; started after recent security updates
Hello. I need help with gnucash 1.8.10 in Sarge. I have a gnucash file (written with the same gnucash on the same system) containing one year of data. And I can't open it. Gnucash says 'Segmentation fault'. It worked on January 2nd when I last updated it. It doesn't open now. I tried older versions of the file and they won't open too. The only thing that chanched were debian security updates. I tried to purge gnucash and guile and install them again. It didn't help. I don't know what to try next.

Gnucash says 'Segmentation fault'. you really need to update. gnucash 1.8.x was buggy and crash prone. Significant strides have been made in the 2.2.x series (now in lenny). It worked on January 2nd when I last updated it. It doesn't open now. I tried older versions of the file and they won't open too. The only thing that chanched were debian security updates. Do you use scheduled transactions? Try the following from an xterm gnucash --nofile then edit-preferences-scheduled transactions and uncheck the box to run scheduled transactions at startup. Then try loading your file. Also, you could subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more help, though you won't get much help with such an old version. A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Thanks for your answer. But no scheduled transactions. I know I won't get much help with such an old version. That's why I asked on debian-users if someone has similar problems. Security updates where the only changes to this system. I thought if that was the reason someone might have noticed other symptoms. In the meantime I did some experiments. I found --nofile options, created a new file and tried to crash gnucash. Accounts work OK but reports (especially custom) crash. I removed all custom reports (rm -r ~/.gnucash, I forgot dpkg doesn't purge this one) and my file loaded. It complained about report not found or something but works. I only need to be careful not to leave open reports. For now moving I can't move to newer version. I couldn't get neither 2.2 nor 2.0 to build under Sarge. And I won't upgrade until I have some other (more important) stuff finished. Thanks again, Tomasz Szpakowicz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
