[Paul Schwartz]

 libgnc-gnome.so.0 is in /usr/local/lib

How do I adjust the command so it is found?

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[John Sears via gnucash-user]

Yeah!  Thanks a lot!!

I couldn't get the gzip -d file.xml.gz to do the extesion renaming, but 
just used gzip -d file.gz and then renamed it after the decompression.


All text replaced and all transaction links working fine!!! Thanks a lot 
to all !!!  ( I even started learning about sed :) )


I would never have even started to know where to begin on this !

Thanks,

John

I just opened the uncompressed version with GnuCash and it worked just fine.

I'll investigate sed



I think this is a compressed file.  Your earlier editor must have
automatically uncompressed it.  Perhaps why GNC couldn't open as it may
have left it uncompressed.  On my box I made a copy of the gnucash file
and called it 'smb.gz'  then the command 'uncompress smb.gz' worked
great and left a file called 'smb' that I could open with vi.  Sed
should also be able to handle the resulting file.

Just remember to compress it again and change the name back to the
original (keep the original under a different name).

--Steve

PS.  I forgot what strings you were changing but I used to use sed on a
daily basis.  So, if you need help just hit the list again.

I’d have to say, sed is probably the fastest method but you’ll need
to read over a few pages of sed command examples on replacing text,
be mindful of escaping special characters like “/“ and “:”.
Otherwise, Gedit and Atom are straight forward with no learning curve
with Find & Replace operations similar to LO.

   Been a while since I used a 'nix operating system and I don't
know what modern linuxes might provide for "automounting". But in a
traditional 'nix environment you don't just stick in removable
devices. You also have to "mount" (and when removing, "umount") them.

In other words, I think yours is a "new 'nix user" problem. Forget
gnucash for a moment. Can you put a file (say a document) on a
removable device and then plug that device into your 'nix machine
and open it? The path will not be the same as in Windows. The path
to the data (in linux) will depend on WHERE in the linux file
system you mounted it? << The "mount" command will have specified

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[Adrien Monteleone]

The file *is* compressed.

Opening a non-compressed version of the file will get you something like this:


http://www.gnucash.org/XML/gnc";
 xmlns:act="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/act";
 xmlns:book="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/book";
 xmlns:cd=“http://www.gnucash.org/XML/cd";
...
etc.

Rename the copy, removing the .gnucash and replace it with .gz

In a terminal, use the gzip -d command to decompress the file.

Something like this:  gzip -d mybook.xml.gz

It will rename it to .xml, stripping the .gz extension. (unless you specified 
an outfile parameter in the gzip command)

NOW, open the .xml file in gedit or atom.

You’ll see something like I showed above.

Then do a Find/Replace on your file paths, and make certain that all path 
separators are “/“ and not “\”.

You don’t need to recompress the file, just rename it to .gnucash and open it 
from the File menu of GnuCash. When you next save it, GnuCash will re-compress 
it.

Regards,
Adrien

  Been a while since I used a 'nix operating system and I don't know what 
 modern linuxes might provide for "automounting". But in a traditional 'nix 
 environment you don't just stick in removable devices. You also have to 
 "mount" (and when removing, "umount") them.
 
 In other words, I think yours is a "new 'nix user" problem. Forget gnucash 
 for a moment. Can you put a file (say a document) on a removable device 
 and then plug that device into your 'nix machine and open it? The path 
 will not be the same as in Windows. The path to the data (in linux) will 
 depend on WHERE in the linux file system you mounted it? << The "mount" 
 command will have specified that >>

Re: [GNC] Converting a manual transaction to an AP payment

[gnucash . dgr9z]

I do indeed have Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24). 

Eight-clicking on a transaction without first selecting it simply selects it. 
Right-clicking again pops up the context menu I described in my previous 
message.

Click GnuCash > About GnuCash

and make sure you see:

Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24)

If it’s an older build, there was a bug (I thought fixed in *all* of 3.2, but 
perhaps not) where the context menu was only a text-entry menu and it was 
difficult to get the proper context-menu to show up.

Also, try right-clicking on the transaction *without* first selecting it. When 
I reported that bug, I noticed the issue was triggered by first selecting the 
line which put me in text-entry mode and why I was getting the wrong menu.

And if you’re not on 3.2 with the 2018-06-24 build, then try installing again 
from a fresh download of 3.2.

Adrien

Kelly/floppy,

  I used to use SQL Ledger and it's fork Ledger123, then returned to GnuCash
when it was easily available as a SlackBuilds.org package. I've been with my
current accountant for about 15 years now and we have no issues with
exchanging data.

  Here in Oregon, if not everywhere, tax preparation software is proprietary
and runs only on Microsoft platforms. This is because the tax laws change
with the seasons and each state, county, and/or city has their specific
requirements. The state here demands that accountants use their buggy and
error-prone software over submitting printed (or PDF) reports. My accountant
tried setting up a linux server and Windows virtual machine, but the
proprietary tax-preparation software wanted specific OS versions and this
just did not work for her.

  Anyway, at the end of the month I send her PDF files of a balance sheet
and income statement produced by GC. Quarterly I send aggregated reports
and, at years end, a YTD set of reports. I also download bank statements as
PDF files, tar them and send them with annual reports. I also send personal
data for annual taxes as reports generated by GC.

  This works perfectly well for her. She has scanned copies of property tax
statements and other documents the feds and state want her to see and they
take only a bit of room on her hard drive instead of the file room.

  Yes, many of her other clients use quackbooks of various flavors but she's
never had any complaints or quibbles about the reports I send to her.

  Find an accountant with whom you can work and trust and use GC regardless
of what software they use.

Rich

Kelly,

I do not believe someone has answered yet so here is my take on GNC and 
Accountants in the US. In the past, I had trouble finding accountants familiar 
with GNC or other accounting packages different than Quickbooks or Quicken. 
However you should be able to find an accountant that is willing to work with 
you if you give him the "right" report with taxable income and expenses.

The first year involves some work going back and forth to make sure you label 
accounts the right way for taxes but after that, except in special cases 
(which you should consult with your accountant anyway) you should be good to 
go.

I used for many years GNC, them changed to SQL-Ledger for my business and kept 
GNC for personal then Quickbooks and Quickbook Online only to end up back to 
GNC which is better than the rest but involves a little more work from the 
user (see above).

Hope the above helps a little.

Since I had also compiled under Ubuntu, I looked on my system to see
where it was located.  Here are my findings:
steve@stevelaptop:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for steve:
root@stevelaptop:/home/steve# cd /usr
root@stevelaptop:/usr# find . -name libgnc-gnome.so.0
root@stevelaptop:/usr# find . -name 'libgnc-gnome.*'
./local/lib/libgnc-gnome.so

See if that is on your system.

Re: [GNC] Converting a manual transaction to an AP payment

[Adrien Monteleone]

Strange, it’s there for me on that same version and system. Are you choosing 
the transaction from the register you chose to make the payment from?

If I try to select a payment in the AP/AR registers I get the “Edit Payment” 
option.

The only time neither shows up is if I try to right-click on the bill/invoice 
transaction. (because you can’t assign a bill/invoice as payment to itself)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[Adrien Monteleone]

You should not need to manually mount any external drive like a USB key. It 
will automount for you in the /media part of the file tree as you noticed.

Your issue is likely more as John noted that LO mucked up the XML. If you don’t 
want to attempt sed or nano, try Gedit (all come with Ubuntu) or Atom. (need to 
install that one separately)

I’d have to say, sed is probably the fastest method but you’ll need to read 
over a few pages of sed command examples on replacing text, be mindful of 
escaping special characters like “/“ and “:”. Otherwise, Gedit and Atom are 
straight forward with no learning curve with Find & Replace operations similar 
to LO.

Adrien

[GNC] Compiling and Installing Gnucash 2.6.12

[Paul Schwartz]

I have made some progress. Uninstalled and removed previous gnucash 2.6.19
which is the default installed in Ubuntu 18.04. Successfully did
./configure && make followed by sudo make install.

Executing gnucash produces

/usr/local/bin/gnucash: error while loading shared libraries:
libgnc-gnome.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did I miss an argument for install or ??

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

Geert, what I'm hearing you say is that someone actually built a time
machine and  went back in time and implemented my idea.  I didn't think it
was all that great of an idea, but what you are suggesting makes a lot of
sense. 😊

Thanks, I never noticed that!

I have no idea if changing this would do anything with absolute path names 
already in the book. And I would doubt very much I would be able to do 
something with Windows paths on a linux system. But for future associations 
this should help.

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[Fross, Michael]

 Directly editing the XML files is really scary to me.  Seems like it would
be simple, but scary.

One idea for the future is to have a GNUCash configured Associated Files
directory.  This would be the root of all associated files.  In the
datafile, the filepath would originate from this directory.  A user could
move these files to a new location with a simple UI directory update in
preferences.

For example:

GNUCash Associated Directory=C:\Gnucash\AssociatedFiles

Files:
C:\Gnucash\AssociatedFiles\file1
C:\Gnucash\AssociatedFiles\launderedmoney\file2
C:\Gnucash\AssociatedFiles\fencedgoods\file3

Then in the XML files, the paths would be stored as:

GNUCashAssociatedFiles/file1
GNUCashAssociatedFiles/launderedmoney\file2
GNUCashAssociatedFiles/fencedgoods\file3

Thoughts?

Michael

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[John Ralls]

LibreOffice is a word processor with its own XML features. It very likely 
didn’t preserve GnuCash’s XML but instead substituted its own. Try again using 
a plain text editor like vi, vim, emacs, etc.

 Been a while since I used a 'nix operating system and I don't know 
what modern linuxes might provide for "automounting". But in a 
traditional 'nix environment you don't just stick in removable 
devices. You also have to "mount" (and when removing, "umount") them.


In other words, I think yours is a "new 'nix user" problem. Forget 
gnucash for a moment. Can you put a file (say a document) on a 
removable device and then plug that device into your 'nix machine and 
open it? The path will not be the same as in Windows. The path to the 
data (in linux) will depend on WHERE in the linux file system you 
mounted it? << The "mount" command will have specified that >>

Re: [GNC] - File Path for associated files

[John Sears via gnucash-user]

Hi ,

My file doesn't seem to be compressed.  I managed to open it up directly 
in LibreOffice Word and do the replacement. and then save the file as a 
.xml.  ( over 9000 pages !)


I don't seem to be able to open this XML file in GNC..  I get the "No 
suitable backend was found for /media/john/USB DISK/trialgnucash2.gnucash."


Any ideas?

I'm sorry if these are such newbie quesions :(

Thanks John

how I’d approach it:

Your data file (if using the default backend) is just an XML file that is

Uncompress it (with tar) and use either your favorite text editor or sed command to 
conduct a find&replace.

If you’re using one of the SQL backends, you can run an UPDATE command to 
replace the given text. (research this command well for your particular backend 
before proceeding)

You only need to replace the “G:/documents” or whatever you used part of the

“G:” with “/media” (the slash left over after “:” will continue the path)

Don’t forget to change your default path in GnuCash preferences.

Re: [GNC] Converting a manual transaction to an AP payment

Thanks for the quick reply.

No. The transaction is definitely not associated with an invoice. I've since 
discovered that the feature is available from Edit > Assign as Payment ..., but 
not from the right-click context menu as mentioned in the document I linked to 
previously; at least not in 3.2 on OSX 10.13.6.

No. Do you have an "Edit Payment..." option ? That would suggest gnucash

[GNC] Associated files to transactions

[johnsears via gnucash-user]

I started using GNUCash on a Windows (Vista) machine many years ago, but have
recently migrated to Linux ( Mint on one machine and Ubuntu on my main
machine) - I am a novice when it comes to Linux

When using the associate files function  for a transaction within  GNUCash
on Windows, I stored all of my pdfs on an  external USB/ SD card. Windows 
mapped this address  with a letter, G, in this case.  ( I also store my
accounts on this same card now) 

So my files were all stored on G:/documents/xxx.pdf

Now that I have transferred to Linux, this path is not recognised - "
GNUCash could not open the associated URI: file:///G:/documents/xxx.pdf"  

Is there a way to bulk edit the paths of all the  links so that Linux will
recognise  the SD path?  I would prefer not to go  into every single
transaction to do this, as I have a lot of linked files. 

Or is there someway ( and this might be more of a Linux question) to map the
SD card to the "file:///G" terminology. 

Thanks!

Take a look at two questions in the FAQ at

Are you using Yahoo!? Do you have an Alphavantage API key?

The executables for terminal use are embedded in the app bundle, usually at 
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin

You must be in that folder to run them at the terminal. Note also that you have 
to set the shell ENV to include your Alphavantage API key.
