Colin, It is possible it has been compiled or is missing libdbi which supoports the db access via the various db backends. It has to be included in the dependencies to get the sqlbackend to run. I haven't yet explored the flatpak process at all. If it hides trace and debugging information that's not helpful. The two guys who run the Githubflathub/org.GnuCash.GnuCash site seem to be primarily Gnome developers rather than being involved with the GnuCash development. I don't know if they had any contact with the main GnuCash developers before setting it up. I converted from LM18.3 to LM 19 iin the middle of this and struck some initial problems with a kernel upgrade that LM19 applied automatically. Still recovering from that one. Still sorting out some problems with network shares as well. I've just about got the GnuCash build setup back to normal on LM 19 but hit a hitch with the cmake detection of swig3.0 which I'm sorting out. David
