Thanks for a quick answer Mattia, As far as I remember, I had to move from mate to gnome to have it reasonably starting. But I feel so bad under gnome. My biggest problem is that my accounts are in CHF and to get that read that I need to change my locale, what I never do as I run all my software

Hello Anne, could you be more descriptive on what went wrong when running gnucash on Debian? I run gnucash on Debian unstable myself (so it's quite similar to bookworm), and it seems just fine. Personally I use i3, but I don't see gnucash making a fuss across different DEs/WMs. On Tue, Jan 10,

Hello, Although I used gnucash 16 year ago on fedora (being satisfied) I failed to get a working gnucash on the latest debian (bullseye or bookworm). My preference would be to use it under mate with lightdm as window manager. Anybody close to that environment that could give advice as the

It may not be relevant to this issue, but I have found the Monterey UI (12.6.2 on an M1) to be extremely unstable. (Basically, it’s the biggest pile of junk Apple has ever dumped on a Mac of mine.) I reboot at least every three or four days, and sometimes a couple of times a day, to fix UI

Posts on this topic lead me to believe that the UI behaves differently depending upon the platform. Running on Windows, I've found the only way to provide a value for a variable is to TAB out of the field. Typing a value and pressing ENTER causes the entry to vanish. -Original Message-

I think it would be problematic from an error correction standpoint not to include them. It's just as easy to inadvertently post-date an entry as to make a mistake that dates the transaction earlier than it should have been. It would be "invisible" during reconciliation if dates later than

I'd expect there are easier invoicing packages, but you will likely need much more. I don't know why there is no tutorial for GnuCash business features (which only support accrual accounting) but each feature has an example transaction. I don't use those features and agree, they seem confusing.
