[GNC] Gnucash crashes after upgrade

[gnucash3]

A year or two ago I was running Ubuntu 16.10. When I upgraded to the next
Ubuntu version, Gnucash did some moving and reformatting of my config files.
When I ran Gnucash, it would hang up inside any register and crash.  I 'solved'
the problem by running 2.6.12 in Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04, which is what I've
been doing ever since.  Ubuntu has upgraded a few times, and the issue
persists.  The current version that still doesn't work is Gnucash 3.4.

Is this a known issue? Is ther a previous thread in this list that addresses
this?  If not, how would I go about starting to debug the issue?

Places where config files seem to be:
.config/gnucash
.gconf/apps/gnucash
.gnucash/books/Gnucash
.local/share/gnucash/books
I don't know which of these is from before the conversion and which are new.
The problem might also be in a library, I guess.

Re: How to find out which securities need to be switched from Yahoo to Alphavantage

[gnucash3]

Ah, this was the problem for me as well.  I found an ancient Templeton fund
that hadn't been switched over.

The actual bug here (and I have written it before on this mailing list) is that
the error message that Gnucash provides is useless.  It needs to contain more
information about what failed.  And contain a link to the wiki.  Otherwise this
mailing list gets slammed with yahoos like me asking the same questions over
and over.

Also, Alphavantage doesn't have VMGP (Vanguard Moderate Growth Portfolio).

But it works!  Yay!

Re: gnc-fq-dump doesn't work for most sources

[gnucash3]

I did (tediously) update my securities to Other/alphavantage.  Whatever the
problem is, that isn't it.

Re: gnc-fq-dump doesn't work for most sources

[gnucash3]

I added the alphavantage key to my environment, and now gnc-fq-dump work fine
from the command line.  However, when I run Gnucash, it still fails.  I did add
the key to /etc/gnucash/environment.  Any ideas?

(1.45 on Ubuntu)
