My GNUCash System Will Not Launch

[John Mraz]

Hi – could do with some help please.

 

I just recently upgraded my Mac system to macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra. Tried to 
start Gnucash (version 2.6.1 ??) and it will not open; receive an error message 
“Gnucash cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to 
make sure Gnucash works with this version of macOS….”

 

What can I do – o I need re-install latest version; if yes, will I loose all DB?

 

Appreciate any suggestions.

Johno

Re: Reports Not Responding Windows 10

[David T. via gnucash-user]

I had to check on my own machine (Mac OS X 10.11.6 GC 2.6.14), but there are no 
delays here. 

I had to check because, for me, the first report is always run at startup, when 
I am not really paying attention. If the problem really is a delay on the 
first-run report only, perhaps a workaround would be to have a report run at 
startup, to get the delay out of the way. This would also give you more time to 
brew your coffee before sitting down to work the books!  ;)

I use a flatbed scanner and scan into another directory.
I will scan a pile of skinny receipts at once, arranging them for best
fit on the flatbed, and holding them down with small flat metal
weights, aka keys.
Keeping up to date with scanning is the best way to deal with the pain
of the flatbed scanner.
At work we have the sort of scanner that scans both sides etc, but
varying paper sizes and torn edges create problems - neither way is
optimum.

Thanks Dave
I tried 2.6.19 as you suggested. Same result!

Then I had an idea. I'd been running in full screen mode so i tried it with
window maximised instead - problem resolved thus far!

I'll give it a more thorough test tomorrow and  feed back.

Many thanks for pointing me to 2.6.19

qualified to be be paid put of the restricted fund). I would enter a 
transaction debiting the liability and crediting equity for $400 giving 
the description "released form restriction in 3rd quarter" (or 
whatever). If this were a large restricted fund only a portion of which 
used each year, might do that adjustment annually along with all the 
other year end adjustments << that is when the bulk of "journal

BUT -- if this were a one shot deal, say we were raising a fund and

might choose to do it along with the purchase transaction. Wait till you

Re: Reports Not Responding Windows 10

[John Ralls]

The 30 seconds delay special Windows is in addition to the time necessary to 
compute a report from a large book. With the 20+ years of history in my primary 
account it can take 3 or 4 minutes to generate a report. That part runs the 
progress bar so that one at least sees that something is happening.

John did not elaborate.  This is worst in Windoze.  It is still slow in
Linux, but much less so.  This will eventually improve but there is so much
work under the hood needed to get there that it may not be noticeably
improved even in the 2.8 series of releases

If you have a big data file, slow computer or other impediment it may take
more than a minute to load some reports.

I'm guessing my liability encumbrances look a bit different from what
you're talking about. In my case, the encumbrance is made like this:

Expense:Discretionary Earningsx
  Liabilities:Discretionary x

And relieved by

Liabilities:Discretionary x
Assets:Checking   x

This way, discretionary purchases don't show up directly on profit and
loss, only what I care about: the expense of earning discretionary funds.
What you're talking about is probably populated more like

Assets:Chequingx
   Liabilities:Organ Fundx

Then some expense:

Expense:Organ   x
  Assets:Chequing  x

But then how is the encumbrance relieved?

RE: Reports Not Responding Windows 10

[Ken Pyzik]

TiBo TJ -- I have Windows 10 and while I see a similar behavior -- I have
found that you need to be patient and the report will eventually show up.
Try and wait for up to about 30 seconds.  I know it's a long time -- but it
eventually does show up.  This is a known bug that has been presented in the
archives here before.  Not sure why it is -- and it does require some
patience.

I recently installed GnuCash 2.6.19 on Windows 10 and am very happy with it

However, I cannot get any Report to work. GnuCash hangs (Not Responding)

Re: Re: gnucash reports changed to a mini fonts size

"2.6.19-3" refers to the latest windows version of gnucash 2.6.19-3. The "-3" 
is actually from the README.txt at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20(stable)/2.6.19/ which

Re: Gnucash on Linux Mint

[Les]

Thanks David.

I am very familiar building an app, but when you go down that path, 
there is no upgrade, so you are sort of locked into that method.  In the 
past, I have gotten bogged down with dependencies, but like you stated, 
can be handled with apt. A long time ago, I used Gentoo.


Being lazy, I will just wait for the next getdeb update. :-)

Hi Les,

The Linux Mint Software manager version is usually 1-2 releases behind the
latest release of Gnucash.  getDeb is sometimes a bit more up to date.
Unless there are specific features/fixes in the latest release that you need
then 2.6.17 which is the current LM version should be OK.

If not, it is not too hard to build on Linux Mint using the instructions at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.29.
If you aren't familiar with cmake use the Autotools build.

I usually run ..gnucash/configure setting the --prefix  option to
/usr/local/bin rather than /opt/gnucash  or /opt/gnucash-devel until it
reports no errors, installing any packages it reports it needs as errors
that are not already installed. There is a list of dependencies in the
README.dependencies files and most can be installed directly with apt before
running the ..gnucash/configure.

just remember, what I did change also...
to get rid of this damn german comma decimal seperator, i changed the
locale from de_DE to de_CH, system uses en_us, data is safed in
database.
I am wondering if, and how this could affect above?

bug (?) assigning payment to foreign current account

[Paul Neuwirth]

Hello,
is it worth an official bug report, or am I doing something wrong?
Everything worked, until I changed the type of a place holder account
from A/Payable to Liability, it is the parent of the Account I was
trying to book to. (but reverting the change does not fix)

Here are the screenshots, and description:
(just noticed, the problem exists anywhere, where the corresponding
dialog is used).
right click on booking in bank account, assign as
payment, select vendor, change amount from EUR (EUR 27.43) to value in
GBP (GBP 23.99). https://www.swabian.net/extern/gncml/gnucash9.png

next dialog:
message, that the currencies differ. that's ok
https://www.swabian.net/extern/gncml/gnucash10.png

after clicking ok, it gets unnormal:
https://www.swabian.net/extern/gncml/gnucash11.png
the normally editable exchange rate fields are disabled.
I can only press cancel (then nothing is being done) or click ok:

error, that It could not save to database
https://www.swabian.net/extern/gncml/gnucash12.png
the database error is:
mysql error: Column 'commodity_guid' cannot be null

the entries become inconsistent:
no values on the left side,
on the other side the booking shows up normal (with correct value GBP
23.99).



It is reproducable, also using other currencies, like USD.
the concerned accounts are configured as following:
> SELECT a.name,a.account_type,c.mnemonic,a.hidden,a.placeholder,p.name
> parent FROM gnucash.accounts a join gnucash.commodities c   
 on a.commodity_guid = c.guid 
  left join gnucash.accounts p on p.guid=a.parent_guid
where a.name IN ('Verbindlichkeiten','Passiva','1601 Verbindlichkeiten
GBP','1602 Verbindlichkeiten USD','Privatkonten
1','Privatentnahmen/-einlagen','1802 private Mastercard') order by
a.code

 7. row *
name: 1802 private Mastercard
account_type: BANK
mnemonic: EUR
  hidden: 0
 placeholder: 0
  parent: Privatentnahmen/-einlagen
7 rows in set

as I mentioned previously, all I did to let this not work anymore is
changing account_type of "Verbindlichkeiten" (2nd row) from PAYABLE to
LIABILITY - to avoid getting payments on this place holder account. I
have now set it back (and restarted), but the misbehaviour stays.

Schwab shows no tranactions

[Dan Nelms]

Hello. I'm just setting up GnuCash under Windows10. I've set up Schwab
with OFX direct connect. Everything is working perfectly in GnuCash
except when I try to download from my Schwab brokerage account it tells
me there are no transactions for the period I've indicated. I know there
are transactions. I've checked the dates and even selected a broader
date range and still the no transactions message. My credit card and
bank accounts work fine. I know I have the right Schwap because it
retrieved my account numbers and I have a GnuCash account associated
with it. Any help with Schwab brokerage accounts? Dan.
