Re: [GNC] Problem With Price Editor

[C M Reinehr]

Les,

Actually, you did receive an answer to your question, from John Ralls, 
only a few hours after your post:

Yesterday, I created a new stock account, like all of the other stock accounts 
that I have.  The strange thing is while the stock is listed in my Security 
Editor, it is NOT listed in Price Editor.  How is this possible?

How can I fix this problem?


Get or create a price for the new security.

Since I have not received any suggestions, I attempted to "fix" this

Security Editor.  I was able to remove it from my list of stocks, but 
when I attempted to remove it from Security Editor, I was prevented 
from doing so.


So, I am appealing to the list for assistance with this issue. Any 
suggestions greatly appreciated.

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

[C M Reinehr]

As a long time Linux user and having used GnuCash for several years I 
can tell you that your GnuCash settings are in a hidden file in your 
home directory: ~/.gnucash


You didn't say how you made your backup so, as David asked, did you back 
up your hidden files. If, for example, you used `tar` by running the 
command `tar cvf /home/tmp/backup.tar /home/nikos` then your hidden 
files should have been copied. However, if you instead ran `tar cvf 
backup.tar *` from within your home directory, your hidden files would 
not have been copied.

expecting to open Gnucash and continue working on my latest Gnucash

Running Gnucash on the new installation is like you start application
for the first time.
Firefox for example does not have this behavior, all my setting
plugins, bookmarks,passwords are in their place after restoring my

Any ideas how to fix  this?

This is not specific to GnuCash 3, i have seen the same thing and on

Re: [GNC] find AND REPLACE?

[C M Reinehr]

I'm still a novice at GnuCash but from previous discussions I do not 
believe that there is a global find and replace utility. But two ideas 
come to mind. If your file format is XML, isn't that a text file? If it 
is, you could use a text editor ('vi' if you're on Linux) to do a global 
search & replace. Or, if you are using SQLite, you could use the dump 
utility to create a text SQL file and, likewise, use a text editor. Then 
rebuild your GnuCash file from the edited SQL dump file.


HTH!

Re: GnuCash 3.0 Released

[C M Reinehr]

John,

Thanks for all your hard work. GnuCash is an invaluable piece of software.

Cheers!

GnuCash 3.0 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 3.0, the first release 
in our new 3.x stable series.
New Features for Users:

 The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 
Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major 
Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the 
Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue 
to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the 
minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming.
 New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import 
maps, a new user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions, an 
improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to 
remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu.
 New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction Report,a 
Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
 A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including 
the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash, along with a separate 
CSV price importer.
 A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote 
users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment. We've removed all references to 
the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.
 Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating 
system's conventions by default:
 Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
 MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
 Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
 It's still possible to overried with the environment variable 
GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
 Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names 
so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. The 
Bayesian import maps are also stored in a flatter structure to allow faster 
access, especially in SQL. These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping 
data, once converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and 
later.
 MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL 
and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
 Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 
6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up to 18 digit 
precision.
 Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours 
as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
 Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering and many 
more options and features including a "Subtotal Summary Grid" The subtotal 
summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey 
horizontally. For example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, 
sec-subtotal = monthly will produce a monthly time series table.
 The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the detected 
Finance::Quote version.
 GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This was 
optional when building with autotools and never enabled when building with 
cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are en_US and de_DE.
 On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
 GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2

New Features for Developers:

 Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an 
effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to 
libgncmod-engine and accessible outside via qof_instance_set and 
qof_instance_get. KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and 
boost::UUID respectively.
 C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt 
libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for GnuCash is 
preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to the googletest and 
googlemock source with CMake parameters GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
 The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib 
GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 January 
1400CE instead of 1 January 1CE. We doubt any users will be affected.
 We've reorganized the code into a core library directory, libgnucash, and 
application-specific directory, gnucash. The python bindings are now in a 
top-level directory, bindings; code pinched from other projects is in borrowed, 
the account templates, check templates, and pixmaps are consolidated in data, 
and common holds the cmake modules and test framework code. The bin directory's 
contents have moved to the top

Looks like you've got some bad data in your file. There have been several 
segfault fixes to the SQL backend since 2.6.4, but until you get around to 
upgrading those aren't available to you. You'll have to use the sqlite3 
command-line tool to fix the row that's crashing.

To find out what row that is, run `gnucash --log gnc.backend.dbi=debug`. That 
will write the SQL queries to your gnucash.trace file. The last one before the 
crash will reveal what row in what table is the problem and you can work up a 
query to fix it.

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/SQL describes the schema.

John Ralls

You’re deceiving yourself about running a “clean” system: 
gnctimeperiod-utilities.scm is part of Doug Doughty’s transaction report 
extensions, not part of GnuCash proper.

The error suggests that the compilation can’t find 
/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/gettext.scm or 
/lib/gnucash/scm/ccache/2.0/gnucash/gettext.go. The most likely cause is that 
the environment variables GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH have 
gotten changed somehow.

Re: Keeping track of sales and expenses for a specific craft show

Ravenkwill,

I would suggest setting up your chart of accounts to record the revenues 
& expenses and then use the notes field of each entry to identify the 
specific craft show. Later, you can then use the notes field as a filter 
when running profit & loss reports, or specific views.

I'd love ideas and suggestions about how to handle this.

Re: Reconciliation Report

[C M Reinehr]

The accounting software that I use to manage my business includes the 
following "Bank Reconciliation Report":


1)    The bank balance as of the reconciliation date;

2)    A list of currently unreconciled deposits & charges;

3)    A subtotal of the above (2);

4)    Followed by an "Adjusted Statement Balance" calculated by adding 
the above subtotal to the bank balance. This balance should be your 
register balance as of the reconciliation date or there is an error.


This is essentially the procedure that is followed when reconciling your 
bank or credit card statement to your GNUCash register, just in the form 
of a printed report instead of an adding machine tape.


I'm no expert at GNUCash but I haven't yet found any way to replicate 
this report in GNUCash but I think it would be a useful addition.


HTH.

You can show the Reconciled Date using the display tab in options,

Unfortunately, I don’t think you can filter by 
reconciled/non-reconciled as the report currently stands.


Perhaps a more serious issue? Depending on what is meant by 
"reconciliation report".


Rick, can you describe what your report is supposed to show? Let me 
explain. In the "old days" each month, when we got our bank statement, 
we "reconciled" the checking account. The bank statement showed the 
balance as of the close of the period and also all the deposits that 
the bank has during the period and all checks cleared during the 
period. Your books would have a bank account showing all deposits you 
made during the period and all checks written during the period and 
what you think the ending balance should be. Those two would normally 
NOT agree because:

1) A deposit made on the last day of the period might not be credited.
2) Some number of checks written during the period (or even from 
previous periods) not cleared yet.


"1" rare but "2" the normal situation.

So you took your balance and added to it all the checks that had not 
cleared (those NOT reconciled in the gnucash sense of "reconciled") 
and took the bank balance and added to it any deposit you made not 
shown on the bank statement and checked that those those two sums were 
equal.


THAT what you mean?

<< I don't do any on-line banking (not over a dial-up connection OR a 
public access (unsecured) wifi) and the organizations for which I keep 
books have  a low enough volume of checks written each month that 
doing the old fashioned reconciliation no big chore to do that 
"report" by hand since not likely to be more than 2-3 uncleared checks >>


If THAT is the report you require, unless you have a large number of 
checks still outstanding each period, automating the process perhaps a 
waste of time. So try to better describe what you have been asked to 
produce.

Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The 
battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the 
active, the brave.” -- Patrick Henry

Re: Version Migration

[C M Reinehr]

I do something similar, working between my office PC & my home PC but I 
use SpiderOakONE to backup & synchronize the two PC's. However, my 
GnuCash file is an SQLite database and I found that SOO did not play 
well with the GnuCash file, since GnuCash writes each transaction, one 
at a time to the file. SOO then was seeing each new transaction as a 
"new" file & trying to back it up resulting in a terrific number of 
historical files in the SOO archive.


One way around this problem is to program the SOO program only to backup 
files at certain times of the day, when you are not using GnuCash. What 
I did was to write a simple script that copies the .gnucash directory 
into a working directory which is not monitored by SOO & then when I 
closed the program copy the resulting .gnucash directory back to where 
SOO would see it.


Hope this helps!

Hi,

We use gnucash in two distinct computers running on windows. Both have the work 
files are in complete sync, including a copy of the gnucash database files.
Since the computers function at different moments in time, never at the same 
time, they both run gnucash all right. No issues.
For instance, we can turn it off in one machine, go to the other and continue 
were we left things.

To sync them we use Resilio Sync. We had some troubles while back using dropbox 
to do this job. Always worked fine.

Regards,
Rui

While these solutions will work most of the time they all have the same
risk:
if the snapshot is made while gnucash is updating the db, you end up with
an
inconsistent db file. I don't know how well sqlite3 handles this so the
risk
may be high or low.

I've done a few spot-checks for consistency and never run into a problem.

I don't know this for certain, but it looks as if GnuCash is wrapping each
update in a transaction.  If it is doing that, it would ensure that the
data written to disk is never inconsistent.

Since my company is small, I'm sticking with the legacy gnu system, for
now. That's the permanently offline system I'm in the process of
migrating too.

Is anyone basically using a USB stick for all records? If so, can you
just plug that USB stick into any of several different (but same version
of gnucash), make changes and store all records on a usb 2 or 3 device?
Then copy usb-stick  for backups?

Should be possible.  A USB stick is just another file system.  There is no
*set-in-stone* reason gnucash's data *has* to be the local system disk.
A given version of Gnucash should behave the same on any number of different
systems.  Generally, the *preferences* (including saved reports) would be
local to each system (since they live in $HOME).  You might need to use the
File->Open menu item to open the data file.


Like others, I am curious to track the database progress, as well as
running gnucash on a cluster.


Anyone running many instances of GNUcash on containers, alpine or just
a bunch of VMs?  I'd be most interested in those experiences too.
Projects of such  multiplicative offerings of gnucash I could follow?

I have a desktop Linux machine (CentOS 6, x86_64) and a laptop Linux machine
(also 6, x86_64).  Generally I run GnuCash (2.4.15-4.el6) on my desktop Linux
machine.  I do have a procedure (shell script) to rsync the GnuCash data &
prefs onto my laptop on occasion, I run GnuCash (also 2.4.15-4.el6) there and
then rsync the GnuCash data & prefs back to my desktop Linux machine.

I don't know if this counts towards what you are asking.


James
