Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.4 Repackaged

[Brad Morrison]

Hi GNC folks,

I have not contributed much to this mailing list lately and have been 
dealing with other things, so I did not realize how much has changed.


I tried to look at the bug report cited below 
(https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799092), but GnuCash seems to 
use BugZilla to manage the bug reports. I have a BugZilla account for 
contributions I have tried to add to Mozilla products (Firefox & 
Thunderbird), but that BugZilla account does not work in the GnuCash 
version of BugZilla and I was unable to log in 
(https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799092=1). The 
Bugzilla websites/URLs are also setup differently for GnuCash & Mozilla.


I then tried to use my GnuCash mailing list account 
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists & 
https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) and was also not able to log 
in to GnuCash's version of BugZilla 
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla & 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=%E2%88%82Bugzilla).


GnuCash still uses Mailman 2.1.29 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html), which looks like it 
was released in July 2018 (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/).


I then tried to log in to Mozilla's version of BugZilla 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home) and was able to successfully 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?user_id=713226), but that log 
in did not carry over to GnuCash's version of BugZilla.


I am still not logged in and I would like to have no more than 1 account 
per software application that I use.


So, it would be nice if GnuCash could integrate the various online 
account systems that it uses (Mailman, BugZilla, whatever else) so that 
users would only have to have 1 log in for all of GnuCash. That is still 
way more decentralized that having a single Apple, Google, or Microsoft 
login that applies to dozens (hundreds?) of different websites.


I use Linux Mint 21.2 (https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=305). LM 
21.2 (https://linuxmint.com/rel_victoria_cinnamon.php) is based on 
Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish" 
(https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-notes/24668). In 
the LM Software Manager, there are 2 options for GnuCash, the "System 
Package" option lists version "1:4.8-1build2" & the "Flatpak (Flathub)" 
option lists version "5.4+ (Flathub 5.4.1)." That basically matches with 
what is listed on Repology for GnuCash 
(https://repology.org/project/gnucash/versions - GNU version 4.8 for 
Ubuntu 22.04).


LM 21.2 is the most current version of Linux Mint 
(https://linuxmint.com/download_all.php), but Repology lists the 
repository for Ubuntu 22.04 as having 17,168 out of 35,549 packages 
outdated (https://repology.org/repository/ubuntu_22_04).


The GnuCash download page (https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml) lists 
plenty of stable releases for Windows, Mac, & various Linux distros. 
There seem to be 9,557 versions of GnuCash listed on the SourceForge 
download page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/).


Stan's GnuCash email name lists him as using GnuCash 4.14, so I'm not 
sure if he is actually using 5.4 or 5.4.1 - ?


Christopher Lam is linking to the index of 32 bit builds for Windows 
(https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/), I am surprised that 
GnuCash still releases & supports/maintains 32 bit versions for Windows - !


At the bottom of the GnuCash homepage 
(https://www.gnucash.org/index.phtml), it still lists that GnuCash 4.0 
has been released (https://www.gnucash.org/new_features-4.0.phtml).


OK, so I say all of that because my main point is that that is too much 
to keep track of. I don't know how GnuCash can be reasonably expected to 
accurately manage and/or maintain that many different options for that 
many different operating systems. There seems to be so much effort put 
on adding to GnuCash and not reducing the number of options with the 
goal of reducing the amount of maintenance and work required to use 
GnuCash. While I am sure that there are plenty of reasons for GnuCash 
doing things this way, it seems to be a real drag on the project's success.


Hope this helps!

Brad

There's no known change affecting clean up upon exit. It would be nice if
the bug hunt could be crowd sourced to identify the exact daily build which

Re: [GNC] Importing stock prices from a CSV file

[Ken Farley]

I'm not sure about the process. I'm led to believe it's built into 
GnuCash and relatively simple to use?


Here's a past discussion prompted by someone having difficulties  and 
eventually figuring it out:


https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-August/079372.html

Hopefully this will be helpful, at least it gives some examples of 
correct format, etc.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.4 background process left running in Windows

[David H]

.LCK file disappears normally when I "X" out of Gnucash so I'm assuming
it's all good and then kill the background process via Task Manager.  When
I shut down the process is going to disappear anyway :-)

[GNC] GnuCash 5.4 background process left running in Windows

[WR D]

I am not sure if this is something new with 5.4, but I notice when I exit from 
GnuCash (windows 11), there is a background process left running.

In task manager the process is called "GnuCash Program File (32 bit)" ... it 
uses 0% CPU, takes 76.9MB memory, and 0% disk.  But it is always running.

The reason I found this is that I observed something was locking up one of the 
Gnucash log files - I know this because I keep by Gnucash files on OneDrive and 
I now sometimes get sync errors due to log file being "in use" even after I 
shut down Gnucash.  I assume it is the background process that is using a log 
file preventing it from being synced properly even after GnuCash shuts down.

I also observe the online finance quote retrieval has changed with 5.4.  
Specifically, previously there was always a window frame pop-up while quote 
retrieval was happening.  Since 5.4, this no longer happens.  The retrieval 
happens but there is no window showing anywhere ... did online quote retrieval 
move to a background process perhaps.

I wonder if the background process issue is related to some change in how 
GnuCash triggers online quote retrievals?

I am considering to revert back to previous GnuCash version to confirm the 
background process locking issue goes away.

Regards,
Bill

Do I interpret the text of the bug report correctly, that this occurs in
version 5.4.1 but not 5.4? (I'm a little confused because the headers
say "Version: 5.4".)

Re: [GNC] Saved reports in GNUCash 5.x

[Murugan Muruganandam]

hi Roland

open the file v4 "saved-reports-2.8" in a editor and check if it contains all 
the invoices you have customized. If the file has issues you need to fix

The above addresses the core of the problem...  It's weird that I could
not find this simple reference in the wiki though.

In addition to this:

I have a whole number of custom invoice templates defined for different
companies and other entities, but it seems that GC 5.x strips away most
of these and only leaves 2 of them.  Is that by design or is it a bug?

If I have to recreate the templates, then so be it, but it took quite a
bit of work to fine-tune them...

thanks again

Thanks, David.  I put my old v4 "saved-reports-2.8" file in there, 
changed the user rights to my actual user, but GC doesn't pickup my 
custom templates from there.


Does the file need to be converted somehow first?

Re: [GNC] Import saved-reports from 4.x

[Roland Giesler via gnucash-user]

Apologies for the double post!  I received repeated responses from the 
mailing list that said my address is not validated...  so after a few 
days I posted again.


And promptly now both messages are on the list!

Roland,

You already have a thread posted on this, no need to repost to get an 
answer.


I saw your previous post, but didn't reply yet since I don't use the 
flatpak and was going to leave this for others who do.


However, I guess I can at least ask for clarification concerning:

"I don't see the custom reports when I open an invoice."

Where exactly are you expecting to see them when opening an invoice?

Custom Saved Reports are in Reports > Saved Report Configurations.

Are yours not there?

*note, the proper file name is:

saved-reports-2.8

NOT

saved_reports-2.8

(hyphen, not underscore)

I'm not sure if your post has a typo there or if your file is misnamed.

Regards,
Adrien

Thanks, David.  I put my old v4 "saved-reports-2.8" file in there, 
changed the user rights to my actual user, but GC doesn't pickup my

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.4 Repackaged

[Ian Keiller via gnucash-user]

Odd thing happens when trying to update from 5.4 to 5.4.1 on Windows. 
Setup shows an error:
The following applications are using files that need to be updated by 
Setup. It is recommended that you allow Setup to automatically close 
these applications. After the installation has completed, Setup will 
attempt to restart the applications.


GnuCash Program File.

On cancelling, I noticed in Task Manager there is an instance of GnuCash 
still running even though I had exited the the application.
I have never seen this behaviour before, so could it be a bug introduced 
in 5.4?
