Re: [GNC] Old-New user with an upgrade problem
Flatpak is not the only option, you can also build from source. It does take some work to set up the dependencies for building and the build tools, but once done, you should be able to easily build each new version as they come out. Setup should take maybe 15-30 minutes depending on any errors or stumbling blocks. (which as you know can translate into lots of research time) It is a good way to learn the various install tools though, which are useful in any case. The GnuCash wiki building instructions are very thorough and (from what I find) complete. You do have to read them carefully. I'd read them all (with links) at least through to the end at least once. Then you can see your starting point and start issuing commands to set up the build environment and then the build itself. Flatpak avoids that with the caveat of a larger download and the aforementioned sandbox quirks you'd need to work around. (if they present a problem) With both approaches, you won't get automatic updates. You'll have to either build again, or download a new Flatpak and install it. There are ways to 'tell' apt about manually built software, but I've never done it and am not sure what advantage there is in doing so. I don't think there is anything similar for Flatpak. The executable path on Debian (and likely most distros) is: /usr/bin/gnucash Concerning your error message, that looks like you were in the process of building the app and it didn't complete. Do you have source code repos turned on? You shouldn't need them. A simple: apt install gnucash should do the trick. And if that install works correctly, you should see a GnuCash entry in whatever App menu your desktop provides. If the standard Gnome, hitting the Super (Windows) key will give you a search field where you can type "Gnucash" and it will display the launcher. You can also click the dot grid on the dock for an overlay of all apps. (XFCE, LXQt, KDE, etc. all provide more traditional 'start' menus) If you don't see an entry for GnuCash after installation, something went wrong. Finally, you might be in a situation where your system is in such a state that you either need to trace down and fix any installation/upgrade issues with the base OS, or do a backup and fresh install from a newly downloaded ISO. Be certain to do a full backup. Config and Preference files you may have changed over the years can lurk in unexpected places, and you'll be glad you have a copy to refer to. Also investigate how to obtain a list of all installed software. At the least, it gives you a reference to work from when re-installing, but some procedures even make it easy to re-install everything.

Re: [GNC] Capital Gain Calculations on Split Stocks
Peter, I thought the same about partial sales, but have found now that almost all my scenarios can be addressed in the lots tool. In my case, matching the broker's sales record up to the correct lot yields accurate results, except in this situation with a split stock. I agree with you generally about making sure I'm tracking it all the same as the broker, since that's where the tax folks are going.

Re: [GNC] Capital Gain Calculations on Split Stocks
Christopher, Thanks for the reply. I'll have to figure out how I'd trigger the --extra flag in Windows and take a look at that report. It may make the whole gains process a little easier. As it is, a statement with 10-15 sales transactions can take quite some time to work through. I understand generally how it all is working, although determining which lots the broker has designated for sale can be challenging. (It also took a while to figure out how to force the software to use a disparate set of lots for one sale. It turns out that you have to sequence the lot selection so that the open lot is the lot selected last. I could imagine an impossible-to-achieve in gnucash situation, where a sale used multiple incomplete lots, leaving them both open. Lots as currently implemented couldn't do this, although i honestly can't imagine a real world use for this.) I tried to follow the discussion at bug 797796, but have to admit it didn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm more concerned about how the gains are recorded as valued transactions than with the reports, but I'll take a look at the report shortly.

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu distribution version
Derek, Have you installed all the dependencies first https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Installing_Dependencies If so $sudo apt-get install googletest will install the googletest framework including google mock. In most cases cmake will give you the name of the library that is missing. Eg the libdbi drivers. You can build GnuCash without them if you are not using the database backends but the default build includes them and the unit tests check their operation so they are now normally included in the default build. I need to update the wiki to reflect that.. you need to do $sudo apt-get install libdbi1 libdbi-dev and one of the following database drivers $sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql or $sudo apt-get install libdbd-pgsql or $sudo apt-get install libdbd-sqlite3. The package names given in the cmake output may differ slightly from the package names in the repository for a given distribution. Use $apt-cache search where string is a few characters from the package name will usually help in identifying the correct name on your distribution . They may have 'lib' prefixed onto the package name and may include other build information. In most cases for the build what need to be added to your system are the development header files which generally have a postfix '-dev' onto the package name. You will need the binary libraries at run time so I usually include the binaries and headers in the install command but you may find the binary libraries are often already installed by other programs/packages. apt generally reports that and just installs the headers if they aren't present. You can safely ignore the warning re Gettext 0.20 (or build it if you are feeling advenmturous). Once cmake completes without reporting any missing packages you should be ready to buiild. Ninja is becoming the preferred build utility rather than make. To use it you first install it with sudo apt-get install ninja-build and then add a "-GNinja" flag to the cmake command. the build and install commandis then $ninja and $sudo ninja install David Cousens - David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Capital Gain Calculations on Split Stocks
Hi, In the last couple of days, I have learned TONS about how to manage capital gains with assorted lots in the GnuCash realm. The financial institution I use has algorithms that adjust my accounts to minimize tax implications. This results in sales against specific lots within GnuCash, and I've been able to match sales with specific lots and achieve numbers in GnuCash which match the institution's calculations. All good! However, I have one account with a single purchase, followed by a two for one split, followed by a partial sale. Using the lots in this case, however, yields wildly variant and incorrect results. In the attached image, you can see the full transaction history, along with the lots window indicating the assignment of the February sale to Lot 0 with a loss of $169.96. This happens because 7*53.29 (the original share price) = $373.03, and 203.07 - 373.03 = -169.96 If I choose to use Lot 2 for the match, the result is $203.07 gain (7*0=$0 cost). This also is wrong. The correct calculation is: $203.07 - (7 * 53.29 / 2) = $16.55, which is what the institution is reporting. I am hesitant to adjust the gain value to match this amount, as I suspect that GnuCash will then report the account as out of balance. I have seen in the past that incorrect gains calculations can throw off the balance sheet, with painful remedies and memories. My questions here are: 1) Is there a way to have GnuCash properly track cost basis in an account with a stock split? 2) If I arbitrarily change the gains transaction, will subsequent balance sheet numbers be in balance? 3) What is the proper way to handle a stock split?

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu distribution version
Thanks for the info everyone. So now I'm trying to build GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 18, mainly because I opened my files on GnuCash 4.1 on a Windows device. Maybe I'm getting myself into more trouble than it's worth. But I'm currently stuck at Cmake not finding Googletest. Attached is the terminal lines that show what's up, and why I think it should find Googletest. Hope someone on here has a bit of experience with this. If it weren't for the extensive documentation on GnuCash's website about how to build it on Linux, I wouldn't even be close to this far. :) Thanks, Derek On 2020-08-24 4:48 p.m., Adrien Monteleone wrote: There are considerable report improvements in 4.x and hands down, the search-as-you-type feature when entering accounts in a transaction is by far, the greatest productivity and user friendly feature I've seen in any desktop software in years.

Samantha,
Sorry, yes, I got busy on other work.

I can't reproduce the problem. Since you revealed your key I even used that,
worked fine:

It does occur to me the US markets are closed at 10:15 BST, but I suppose that
you also checked with gnc-fq-dump around the same time and that worked OK.
There's one other thing to try in Powershell but it would be odd if gnc-fq-dump
works and this doesn't:
$Env:ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY = 'xxx'
'(currency "USD" "GBP")' | perl 'c:\Program Files

Re: [GNC] Monthly Payments on posted Liability?
You can't get the individual payments to show up in the Bills Due Reminder. You can set up a Scheduled Transaction, but set it only to remind you in advance, but not auto-create. (or at least set it to let you review and edit it when it does) These reminders when then show up in the Since Last Run dialog. (auto on startup, or manually from the Actions menu) If you've used the Business features to post that original liability, it will show up in the Bills Due Reminder, but with the original due date, (which could be the final date if you like) and will adjust the balance due as you make payments. In this case, when you make payments, you just "Process Payment" for that vendor and fill out the payment window. The posting of the payment will be done for you and you can track your payments to that particular vendor easily with a Vendor report.

Re: [GNC] Old-New user with an upgrade problem
Just for info, Flatpak is a way to install software without dealing with dependency issues. Rather than try to use versions (perhaps incompatible ones) of dependencies already on your system or in the repos, a Flatpak contains everything needed to run the chosen app. In addition, Flatpak apps run in a sandbox so as not to affect other parts of the system. The advantages includes avoiding dependency hell, along with being able to run software more current than a stagnant and frozen repo. (which can be years old) The disadvantage is a bit of bloat for that app since it contains all the dependencies, as well as a few issues with communicating outside the sandbox which can affect databases and printing. (still possible, just not out-of-the-box easy) Best of luck with whatever route you choose. Regards, Adrien On 8/22/20 9:38 PM, John Angelico wrote: I don't know much about Flatpack.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash Flatpak on GalliumOS Linux
Thanks, Frank. This — sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem= — worked like a charm. The embarrassing thing is that, in searching for a solution, I actually looked at that page, but it didn't register that the flatpak sandboxing was my problem. Duh!

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu distribution version
Bruce, In addition to Frank's suggestion, if you drill down through the
GnuCash website from the start point I gave you previously there are
references to Flatpak builds which is another way to backport GnuCash
release 4.1 into several flavors of Linux. That route is not for everyone,
as there are some limitations that may make that a bad choice on some
computers.

By default it only allows access to files in your home directory. You can widen the access by using the flatpak override command like so flatpak override --filesystem=host org.gnucash.GnuCash The "host" option in the command above is fairly new.

perhaps you should start with

[GNC] GnuCash Flatpak on GalliumOS Linux
Anyone have any experience with GnuCash installed via Flatpak on GalliumOS? (It's a niche distro designed to turn a Chromebook into a Linux machine.) I installed GC 4.1 and it runs fine ... except that it doesn't recognize the USB drive where I my data file lives. The USB drive and the data file, which I copied over from a working GnuCash installation on a Windows machine, show up fine in Thunar (Linux) file manager and via terminal CLI. The "open file" dialog format looks like GnuCash's, not like something I've seen on my Gallium machine. If I copy the data file to a location that shows up in the open-file dialog (e.g. Desktop) it loads fine. Any ideas how I can remove the USB drive's cloak of invisibility from the open-file dialog? Thanks, Art PS - I also posted my query in the GalliumOS subreddit, in case someone there has a solution. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Hello, That makes sense, David and John. Thanks.

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu distribution version
Derek, The choices on what versions are supplied wiith a given OS version are made by the maintainers of the OS distribution. They usually use the current GnuCash version (but not always) at the time of release of a new OS version. If you want to stay up to date with GnuCash, the main options are to use the flatpak or snap versions of GnuCash where available or to build the latest version of GnuCash from the sources as described in the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux.
