Hello,
I've had the check printing bug reported as bug 944603 while running Raspian
Buster on a Raspberry Pi4. The version of Gnucash is Version: 3.4 Build ID:
3.4+ (2018-12-30). I have more information below:
The problem is NOT 'print checks' per se: the problem is in the customization
section of check printing. If a check is customized and the resulting
customization saved from the program as a "CHK" file, it's presence in the
default subdirectory (which on Raspian
is: /home/[USER]/.local/share/gnucash/checks) will continuously crash the
program until the file is given an different extension (something other than
CHK). Inspecting the file with a text editor shows the file to be written
incorrectly: there are numerous places where semicolons are placed
inappropriately. If the file is corrected manually AND if the file is
transferred to the /usr/share/gnucash/checks subdirectory, the check printing
process progresses normally and crashes are avoided.
I noticed that the newest version of Linux Mint (19.3) is using Gnucash version
2.16.19 rev c1b5e6c8d+ 2018-04-09. There are no check printing or check
customization problems in this version.
Thanks for all you do!! Hope this helpswish I could do more.
Regards,
---John Stewart
