Hi Y'all,
I just tried to obtain the current prices for my investments using
the Price Editor --> Get Quotes
The response was:
There was an unknown error while retrieving the price quotes.
How do I correct the problem?
I am running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with GnuCash 2.6.12
(This copy was built from rev ed11f6d+ on 2016-04-18.)
There is a section in the FAQ that covers this:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_fix_a_.22system_error.22_or_.22unknown_error.22_when_getting_stock_quotes.3F
Note that the Finance Quote functions have been discussed a LOT on this
list over the past few months due to circumstances outside of GnuCash
developers' control. After you read the sections in the FAQ, if your
installation is still misbehaving, you might also check the archives for
this email list

Thanks Tommy,
After reading things over I tried to do some checking...
Opened a new terminal and entered the following:
sudo perl /usr/bin/gnc-fq-update
This is the error message:
Can't open perl script "/usr/bin/gnc-fq-update": No such file or directory
gnc-fq-check ran correctly and listed ("1.38"..."yahoo"...)
Do I not have the Finance::Quote package properly installed? If so how
can I get it, I installed/updated the following packages when my system
was last built:
gnucash 1:2.12-1
gnucash-common 1:2.12-1
gnucash-docs 2.6.12-1
/usr/bin contains several gnc-fq files but update is not one of them!
Ideas?
Jay
