Re: [GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

[Les]

Today, when I went to price database to download some closing amounts, 
the application hung up and I to force close GC (3.8).  I tried a second 
time with the same result.  This is a first for this version of GC.  It 
used to happen often on the 2.6.19 version.


I do not know what caused it today; it has been perfect since I 
installed it (about a week ago. It would be great if you could just kill 
the price database without also killing GC.


Regards,

Les

Is this a known bug?


I have noticed this, too; I believe it's a screen refresh issue.
I'm trying to replicate it on Ubuntu 19.10 and cannot, so I think
it's an issue with a build based upon Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (which your
Mint probably is). That's the version I use in my office.

Here's what I have noticed -- I click on a transaction and choose
Delete from the toolbar. A confirmation dialog pops up, and I
agree that I want to delete, but the transaction does not
disappear from the register. HOWEVER if I close and reopen the
register, (or maybe if I choose View --> Refresh ?) the
transaction is gone.

I have noticed a few other display issues with GnuCash built for
Ubuntu 18.04. The register colors are strange around the text,
especially noticeably on the date field.


I feel compelled to update this a little bit -- As I said before, I 
think things look different on my system now that I've installed 
dconf-editor on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic" system. I installed it so 
I could have a look at the GTK+ inspector and its CSS features. I 
haven't adjusted any CSS, but the application installation seems to 
have brought in a few other packages, too.


Here's more about using the inspector:
https://blog.gtk.org/2017/04/05/the-gtk-inspector/

After installing dconf-editor, I have not been able to replicate the 
deleted transaction refresh issue. Though maybe I just I haven't yet 
hit the exact sequence that triggers it. You might try installing 
dconf-editor and see if it improves it for you, too. I believe having 
it should otherwise be benign.


ONE ADDITIONAL strange thing, however...

Sometimes I want to enter data from my laptop into a GnuCash file 
that's on my office computer, so I open GnuCash using ssh:


$ ssh -X user@host gnucash /path/to/datafile.gnucash

I was surprised to see the GnuCash windows on my laptop (running 
Ubuntu 19.10) look good, even though the application is running from 
the desktop system (running Ubuntu 18.04). I naively expected it to 
have the same display issue around highlighted text. (Specifically: 
when text is being edited, the text is surrounded by a rounded 
rectangle with a thin border and a white background.)


SO I just spent (entirely too many) minutes testing some scenarios...

At this moment I am preparing a new CPU for my office running Ubuntu 
18.04, so I decided to try the same task connecting from a newly 
installed Ubuntu 18.04 client to the old Ubuntu 18.04 host.


Ubuntu 18.04 client, ordinary Ubuntu desktop: I found that the strange 
coloration around highlighted fields is still present when the client 
is an "ordinary" Ubuntu 18.04 desktop.


Ubuntu 18.04 client, running Wayland: The coloration has the same 
problem as regular Ubuntu. (However the SSH windows are quite sluggish.)


Ubuntu 18.04 client, MATE desktop: The coloration around highlighted 
text looks much better.


I just went back to the old desktop and opened the gnome-tweaks tool 
and played with some themes... the default Ubuntu application theme is 
"Ambiance," and I see the text edit problem with both Ambiance AND 
Radiance, but the text looks more consistent when some of the other 
themes. So there MIGHT be a weird Gnome theme issue with GnuCash built 
under Ubuntu 18.04. As I suggested, the default theme in Ubuntu MATE 
seems to work better.


I think I've tinkered enough with this for now. Maybe someone who 
understands Gnome themes better will suggest something easier to 
implement.


P.S.: The next Ubuntu LTS release is scheduled for April, so the 
updated libraries should filter to distros like Mint by this summer 
sometime.

You will need to maintain separate data files(e.g. give them separate names
identifying the version they run with) for each version as there were some
data file changes going from 2.6.x to 3.x which prevent a 3.x file working
with a 2.6.x version. I think Geert mentioned them in a post in the last
week or so.

Both versions will also store their configuration files in different
locations in your home directory see
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations. This is possibly a
bonus but changes to things like saved reports in one won't of course carry
through to the other.

You should be able to run instances of both at the same time if you want to.
Just label the launchers in your menu system clearly with the version number
as well.

Re: [GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

I have noticed in the 3.8 version, that the description field is quite 
large, while the amounts fields are small.  I used to know how to expand 
them but that was a long time ago.  Would some let me know how to?

Re: [GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

Thanks David.

I made a different account file for the 3.8 version naming it 3.8.  I 
kept the original account file with the same description.


My goal is to run both, one at a time, for about a week to verify the 
totals for each major account remain the same.  Assuming that there are 
no major problems, I will stop using the 2.6 version.

Re: [GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

Yes, I mean the account file.  I now have two seperate account files 
(2.6.19) and (3.8). However, since I am not knowledgeable in Linux file 
structure, I have decided that I will only open one file at a time.  
Once I am convinced that both are maintaining the same account balances, 
I will drop the 2.6.19 version.


Thanks,

What file?  If you mean an accounts file it should save to wherever
you tell it to save, and if you open a file using File > Open then it
should save it back to that location.

What file?  If you mean an accounts file it should save to wherever
you tell it to save, and if you open a file using File > Open then it

Re: [GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

[David Cousens]

It will depend upon where your 2.6.19 version is installed to and where in
the file heirarchy the flatpak installs to. Main problem will be if the
libraries for both versions get installed to the same locations. I think
flatpaks install under~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications for
per usr  and 
under /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications for sytemwide
installations. 

If 2.6.19 was installed with apt from the system repository it will likely
be under /usr/local/{bin/share/lib/etc} where the components are installed
in the appropriate directory from the set in {}.

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak may contain more info.

[GNC] GC 2.6.19 & GC 3.8

[Les]

I have just installed GC 3.8 via Flatpak and used my 2.6 version to 
start it but saved the file to a different location.


Is it possible to run both versions at the same time?

Using Linux Mint 19.1

Thank,

Les
