I downloaded the 3.4 release debs for testing with Ubuntu 18.10. One can just double-click on the individual .debs and the Ubuntu software installer will take care of the rest. Install gnucash-common first as it is required by the main program. I also installed the python .deb before the main program, but I don't know if that makes any difference.
I don't use the online transaction, price or quotes retrieval functions so I don't know if those work. I haven't done much with reports except to verify a balance sheet prints. Check printing works. Testing was done with a data file I copied over from my production machine that runs Gnucash 3.2-something. No apparent problems noted. Nice job, and thanks. Ron Morse.
