Hello Richard! I am re-re-replying because I forgot to CC [email protected]
I am not sure what you mean by "normally run GnuCash?" I do have the icon in my favorites bar on the left of my screen. I click the icon to run the program. Screen shot. https://ibb.co/LPGb6xZ I did uninstall GnuCash 4.8 and as far as I can tell nothing broke. I ran flatpak list and it appears I did install it with flatpak. I'm not sure why it shortend the information with ... ... $ flatpak list Name Application ID Version Branch Installation Mesa …orm.GL.default 24.1.3 23.08 system Mes… …orm.GL.default 24.1.3 23.08-extra system nvi… …dia-535-183-01 1.4 system ope… …tform.openh264 2.4.1 2.4.1 system GNO… …gnome.Platform 46 system Gnu… …nucash.GnuCash 5.8-unknown-commit (Flathub 5.8) stable systemYar… …heme.Yaru-dark screen shot of the terminal https://ibb.co/CKWcQjV I ran bash - check with "echo$SHELL" and got bash: check: No such file or directory screen shot https://ibb.co/99D4SZM I keep re-reading this and am less confident I understand the directions. >>> > To add to Bruce's answer, if you use Linux, there can be an issue with >>> > webkitgtk that can result in blank reports.

I closed GnuCash. Then ran it and stuff happened and now I can see reports!!! OMG. I am sorry I am stupid. Then I closed GnuCash and opened it again and the reports don't show up. So I think the instructions were saying to enter WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash with the program closed. And use that command to launch GnuCash each time I want to use it. Which appears to work just fine. Screen shot of success https://ibb.co/bKQBF5y Thank you Richard and Bruce! I am very greatful! And next time I buy video cards I will buy AMD! ;) On Monday, August 19th, 2024 at 2:18 PM, R Losey <[email protected]> wrote: > How do you normally run GnuCash?
