Hello David,
Just a final note. Again, thank you for your help. I'm going to give up
at this point and update prices manually. I don't want to be going into
the terminal to get my software to work. Much too complicated. I
understand the developers count on a reliable price quote and when Yahoo
changes on a whim, it ruins everything and drives the developers crazy.
Gnucash is a fantastic program and I thank all developers who work on
it. Hopefully on some future version, it will all work again as it has
in the past. All the best!
Ron

You don’t tell us; are you using Yahoo! as your price source? Yahoo!
dismembered its quote source website a while back, and GnuCash users have had
to seek out other sources. One source is AlphaVantage, while another is “Yahoo!
as JSON”. If you set up your accounts to use one of these (preferably the
latter), do you still get the errors?
Note: you will need Finance::Quote verson 1.47; if you want to use
AlphaVantage, there are instructions on the wiki; I believe that the FAQ has
links to the instructions.

Hello to all. I have GnuCash 2.6.15 installed on my MX18 and all works fine
except the Get quotes price updater. I get an error message "There was an
unknown error while retrieving the price quotes." I've toyed with this for
hours and installed everything I could find on the net to no avail.
I can see the finance quote module load at start up but I cannot get a box
to show up to even change my data source. I am a user from long ago and the
program is awesome and the price updater has worked in years past. This is a
new computer and new OS install but I'v tried to confirm I have all modules
installed and as far as I know, everything is in place but won't work.
I also upgraded to a much newer version and not only didn't price updater
not work, the new asset values was completely different from the older
version. I lost money. So I uninstalled and went back to this older version.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am manually updating about a
dozen quotes.
Thank you! Ron
