[Steve Conley]

A BIG Thanks to all who responded with clues or solutions ...
r
Geert, QUITE RIGHT about the broken -lotto.  I now have it working. "Who
would have that the only place it did not work was where the doc said it
should be ...).

I finally successfully loaded up to "about" where it died.  I am proceeding
to check the Quicken QIF and work my way slowly "over" the bug - either in
Quicken output or gnucash input.

The import seemed to do, on the surface, the 3 years I imported mostly the
correct things ... will verify and report, if anyone is interested, the
things that failed.

CURRENTLY: I still have these messages to the CONSOLE if run in a command
window.
These "seem" to be harmless bugs "so far", but someone might like to know
about them:

Gtk-Message: 11:47:04.747: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 11:47:05.351: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 11:47:05.418: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Found Finance::Quote version 1.49.

LOTS OF THESE:
(gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:50:59.099: Negative content width
-2147483648 (allocation -2147483648, extents 0x0) while allocating gadget

Re: [GNC] How to get debug to work (saying "uncle")

[Geert Janssens]

In addition to David's suggestions, here's one to get debug logs.

In flatpak the log file is not generated by default (due to some internal 
conflicts in the 
sandbox wrt where gnucash wants to write the log file).

So if you want to generate the logs add 
--logto=
to you flatpak command.
The filename can be either 'stdout' to print directly to your console window or 
any file path 
that's not in /tmp, for example "$HOME/gnucash.trace"

Geert

Re: [GNC] How to get debug to work (saying "uncle")

[davidcousens49]

Steve,

You will have to map Quicken/Quickbooks categories onto accounts in Gnucash.
These will be either Income or Expense accounts for the majority of cases and
are created as subaccounts of the top level Asset, liability Equity, Income and
Expense placeholder accounts in GnuCash. Ideally you should try to create these
accounts before importing at least for major accounts. The import procedure
should try and create accounts as necessary where it is clear what account and
type is needed.

See https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html 
and
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration#:~:text=From%20the%20Gnucash%20menu%20select,from%20your%20new%20account%20tree
 
for more info and suggestions.

It is generally better to import in small batches initially (month, quarter , 6
months) rather than a single import to sort out any problems. Once you have it
working OK you can increase the batch size.

Also, I'm not sure, but I don't think GnuCash has a facility for
QuickBooks' or Quicken's categories

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

Test one and a few records too.

Alternatively, you could try csv format.

[GNC] How to get debug to work (saying "uncle")

[Steve Conley]

I have been trying for 5 days now to chunk Quicken and start using gnucash.
ANY CLUES will be sincerely appreciated.

The immediate problem I am trying to solve:
Quicken export to qif of accounts/categories "seems" to complete - but
nothing visible in gnucash.
Quicken export to qif of tranactions seems to work also.  (large).

*But gnucash import of even a limited qif data to 2001, gets to the final
import stage and gnucash dies with no error.  Sometime in late QIF import -
before matching step.*

Naturally I try to get a debug log but the ONLY way I was able to make
anything happen was

(I pulled the startup command from the .desktop entry):
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gnucash
--file-forwarding org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug
(and added --debug)

This does not put a trace/debug file anywhere I can find. Definitely not in
/tmp.

I next tried specifying the logto option with /tmp/gnucash.trace or
~/gnucash.trace
The trace goes neither place.

Running this:
/usr/bin/flatpak run --command=gnucash --file-forwarding
org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug gcashdata_3.gnucash

(I had to remove the branch and arch options that are in the desktop entry
(which I copied from above) to even get his outputof warnings)

and then doing the qif import, results in about 40 lines of:
(gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Negative content width -2147483648
 while allocating gadget (node progress, owner GtkProgressBar)
and
(gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Drawing a gadget with negative
dimensions. did you forget to allocate a size? (node progress, owner
GtkProgressBar)

Whether this results in the actual crash, I have no idea.

OTHER BACKGROUND ON WAY TO HERE ...

Whenever gnucash is started, I get the Gtk messages as follows:
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I tried all manner of suggestions of loading appmenu-gtk/2/3 and
libcanberra-gtk/2/3 etcand reinstalling each. all said they were installed
and all re-installs also completed without error.
But did not get rid of the messge.

The machine is a core-i3 with 4GB of RAM and a large drive - so space
should not be an issue.
But it is an Inspiron 13 - set at 1080p resoultion.

Why GNCash ...
I like what I see and have read the pdfs of documentation and played around
with examples.
(BTW, I am a 49 year - before retiring veteran of computer science with a
PhD in Comp Sci and Electronics.  I have 6 Xubuntu Linux machines at  home
in addition to a couple of hated Win10 achines.)

So I have 23 years of history in my Quicken data.
I have run the Quicken Repair options, and they say all is well.

Quicken (latest) export to qxf crashes.So I can't try gnucash import of
qxf.

First I am running for this machine Pop!_OS versus Xubuntu as it will be my
wife's and she is better with GUI.
AND I have ordered a System76 Pop!_OS laptop to replace my failing (screen)
Dell Inspiron 15.
