Hi, I've just updated GnuCash from 2.2.5_0 to 2.2.7_1 on MacPorts (PPC), and am having some problems. I enquired at the GnuCash IRC channel, and was told that it was probably a ORBit/GConf problem, and to enquire here. Also, after lurking on IRC for c. 24 hours, two other people came in with the same problem, so I think this might be quite common? This update also included gconf from 2.22.0_0 to 2.24.0_0 and orbit2 from 2.14.12_0 to 2.14.16_0.
Every time I open GnuCash, I get two error windows. One says: "The configuration data used to specify default values for GnuCash cannot be found in the default system locations. Without this data GnuCash will still operate properly but it may require some extra time to setup. Do you wish to setup the configuration data?." The other says: "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnucash. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." When I get details on the latter, it says: "Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: dbus- launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch requested, but X11 support not compiled in." This happens every time I startup now (after this update), even after I setup the preferences anew. Strangely, the preferences don't even seem to stick. For example, when I select "negative amounts in red", this does not occur in my accounts window. Also, other "on-the-fly" preferences don't stick, such as the confirmation window I get when changing the reconciliation state of transactions. When I select, "don't warn me again", this is not remembered, and the windows will still pop up. It's also taking a ridiculous amount of CPU power, and is extremely slow, which I guess is related, possibly to locked files?? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm a bit of a X11/terminal newbie, so please be gentle! Cheers, Pete. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
