Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[AgedLace]

My manjaro doesn't have traceroute.

I tried 'ping' ... it did one line then stalled.  So, the problem must 
be on my end ... i just have no way to know what / how and you guys have 
far more important things to do then to help me troubleshoot my computer.


THANK YOU for trying!!!

That didn't work for me either.  I have no idea what it could be.  And 
I'm not able to spend any more time on it right now.


Thank you all for your input and suggestions and help!!!

For all three of you, what Window Manager (e.g. Gnome, XFCE, Mate, etc.)

Consider stepping back to 4.14 in that case.

But also consider filing a bug report for sure so it can be addressed.

Re: [GNC] Cannot write to file

The companion to autosave is retain backups.  Change both of those to
values that better fit your style.

[GNC] Finance::Quote Usage

[Bruce Schuck]

Hello all,

Just an FYI. Getting a simple count of the Finance::Quote sources used. 
At least for those with v1.57 installed. I'd like to keep the counter in 
place for maybe another release, but will be removed by release v1.59.


As noted in the discussion post, the ukfunds number is misleading. Early 
on I discovered that a single IP was using that method on somewhat of an 
hourly schedule resulting in hundreds of times a day.


The list can also be found on this post in F::Q discussions:

Re: [GNC] Cannot write to file

Sorry, I have found the autosave it is five minutes.

First, those long file names with numbers in them suggest at some

This could be a big problem in that you might think you've entered 
transactions and then find them missing.


Does the title bar of your GnuCash window have a similar looking file 
name? You'll need to clean that up. If so, report back that fact and 
folks here can suggest some remedies.


Second, the Save function could be triggered by an auto-save 
preference. If you are using the default XML backend, you can set the 
file to save every certain number of minutes. If you didn't 
intentionally save the file under one of the SQL backends, (and you'd 
know) then you are using the default.


Otherwise, usually a CTRL+S (CMD+S on a Mac) will trigger a Save.

As for why you can't save, if you need to, the message suggests lack 
of space on the drive, or a permissions issue. We don't yet have 
enough information to determine which one.

Adrien

There is no title on the file, just 'save' and it is in 'users/barry

That looks like an account which contains an annual P&L, but now has 
a list of files such as -


C:\Users\Barry Mahon\Documents\Tax accounts and returns\P&L 
2022.gnucash.20230726121238.gnucash.20230728171739.gnucash


Dated yesterday. It looks like I am trying to save my bank a/c to 
this file.


My question is should I delete these files back to the original P&L 
files? and then try to reset everything? but how??


In fact I have just updated the OS, and restarted Gnu, but this same 
'save' file appears when I try to save the original banks a/c entries.


There are no other files open but the bank a/c file/

That is the best explanation I can make of what has happened. 
Grateful for any advice.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[AgedLace]

I've tried Firefox, Brave and Chromium browsers ... all other sites are 
working fine, just the wiki.gnucash.org site refusing connection.


Question? Does one need to login to the wiki?

Re: [GNC] Cannot write to file

[Mahon Finbar via gnucash-user]

Yes, I have files with a "similar looking" file names, but the suffixes 
are  .log and .ode (the suffix of my libre office text documents).


I tried 'tidying up' I deleted all the files with recent dates (assuming 
they are being entered as the bank a/c entries) but the same result  -


appears and says what it says, and I cannot move on. The save and down 
arrow are 'live' but it produces the same message.


The original bank a/c file has no new entries, but when I try entering a 
few and 'saving' them the same message as above appears.


I haven't been able to locate the auto-save preference, I'm pretty sure 
I have an auto-save set, but where is it?


Thank you so much for the help so far.

Barry

On 29/07/2023 14:02, Adrien Monteleone wrote:
First, those long file names with numbers in them suggest at some 
point you've opened a backup file and then worked in it rather than 
your main file.


This could be a big problem in that you might think you've entered 
transactions and then find them missing.


Does the title bar of your GnuCash window have a similar looking file 
name? You'll need to clean that up. If so, report back that fact and 
folks here can suggest some remedies.


Second, the Save function could be triggered by an auto-save 
preference. If you are using the default XML backend, you can set the 
file to save every certain number of minutes. If you didn't 
intentionally save the file under one of the SQL backends, (and you'd 
know) then you are using the default.


Otherwise, usually a CTRL+S (CMD+S on a Mac) will trigger a Save.

As for why you can't save, if you need to, the message suggests lack 
of space on the drive, or a permissions issue. We don't yet have 
enough information to determine which one.

Adrien

Cool, glad I can help. Your issue did expose a minor issue in the 
AlphaVantage module. It was not properly catching the message returned 
when the daily limit has been reached. I did address that and the fix 
will be included in the next release.


If you would like to test a pre-release while you are still having the 
issue, please try installing BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.57_03.tar.gz from 
CPAN.


I'll have to give it another try tomorrow (the flow has been up and 
running overnight) and see if all is back to normal.


Good luck, looking forward to the result.


I'm super thankful for your help & mentioning the below!!!

I don't know if it unfreezes in those few seconds, I just click in the line

Next time it freezes I will try it with out waiting to see.

At first, I could only enter 3 characters, then it would lock up.

Now I can only enter 1.

All other fields seem to be working just fine.  The only field I'm
having difficulties with is the Description.

I'm using Manjaro an Arch Linux based operating system. The version in
the official repository is 5.3-1.

I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling with no success.

I have spent a great deal of time searching for a way to fix this issue,
but have not even seen someone else having the same issue.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry, indeed, I missed that.

Consider stepping back to 4.14 in that case.

But also consider filing a bug report for sure so it can be addressed.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[AgedLace]

My issue is that, yes, I can retreat and go back, but it still freezes 
after adding 1 character.  I have to retreat and go back for nearly ever 
single character in my description ... REALLY annoying!!

There's something a bit odd about how GnuCash handles text entry in
all fields.  I think it's due to the way it auto-fills the field when
you enter just one or two characters.

On my system most of the issues occur with the Transfer column, it
sometimes locks up in the same way that you're describing for the
Description field.


I have the same problem, but so far, only when entering 'tes' for 'Tesco',
when it just freezes.
I wait a few seconds then click in the line above, then back to the
original and it
works.


Yes, that's a good description of what happens.  One can usually
'retreat' and try again and make it work but it's still rather
annoying.

Re: [GNC] Issue with Finance::Quote

[bern...@deprez.biz]

Hi Bruce,

I wasn't aware of the IP tracking and that may be the explanation - 
without my knowledge, somebody else in my household was playing around 
with a Node-RED flow that was pulling a request from Alphavantage each 
minute with a third API key :-)  We've now tuned that flow back to once 
every 4 hours (which is totally adequate for our use case)


I'll have to give it another try tomorrow (the flow has been up and 
running overnight) and see if all is back to normal.


I'm super thankful for your help & mentioning the below!!!
B.

The interesting part is that the original API key I have was used 
perhaps 15 times today, the second API key mentioned above wasn't 
used today at all... And I have no automation nor CRON/scheduled 
tasks anywhere that use either API...


Bernard,

Are you connecting from home, work, or through something like NordVPN?

I found out while doing a PoC of using a different key for each 
request to avoid needing to throttle requests (I stumbled onto the 
fact that almost any random string will work as an API key) that their 
limitation is also likely based on source IP. After 5 requests using 5 
different generated random API keys, the 6th request with a different 
API within a minute will get the message about the 5 per minute 
limitation.


If you are on a network where multiple people happen to be using 
AlphaVantage, this could be the cause of the AlphaVantage limit message.


That said, please open an issue at 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues. I identified 
where the AlphaVantage module may not be catching this particular 
failure, since I suspected it may be that you have surpassed a 
daily/monthly limit and was looking into it.


Thank you.

Bruce.

Re: [GNC] Cannot write to file

[Adrien Monteleone]

First, those long file names with numbers in them suggest at some point 
you've opened a backup file and then worked in it rather than your main 
file.


This could be a big problem in that you might think you've entered 
transactions and then find them missing.


Does the title bar of your GnuCash window have a similar looking file 
name? You'll need to clean that up. If so, report back that fact and 
folks here can suggest some remedies.


Second, the Save function could be triggered by an auto-save preference. 
If you are using the default XML backend, you can set the file to save 
every certain number of minutes. If you didn't intentionally save the 
file under one of the SQL backends, (and you'd know) then you are using 
the default.


Otherwise, usually a CTRL+S (CMD+S on a Mac) will trigger a Save.

As for why you can't save, if you need to, the message suggests lack of 
space on the drive, or a permissions issue. We don't yet have enough 
information to determine which one.


Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

I seem to recall a bug fix for a similar freezing issue in the 
Description field on Windows systems. I believe that was implemented for 
5.2.


If you aren't on 5.2/5.3, I'd suggest giving it a try to see if the
