Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Scott Good to hear it is all working. There is no gnucash-jz in the Linux MInt Software Manager so it obviously didn't inherit it from Ubuntu. gnucash-jz is a Snapcraft version of GnuCash (https://snapcraft.io/gnucash-jz) similar to the flatpak I mentioned earlier which Ubuntu seem to have added

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

gnucash-jz is apparently a Snap installation of GnuCash; “jz” is for Jacob Zimmerman, the maintainer. See https://github.com/jacobzimmermann/gnucash-jz-snap . Like Flatpak, Snap is a sandboxed runtime environment. It probably lacks access to

Hi David, You probably haven't seen my last response yet. It's working fine now. But I'm curious why the Ubuntu Software Center has both "gnucash-jz" and "GnuCash." The second of these is the one that works. Be Well, Scott Scott Ellsworth || 415-625-3019 - Original message -

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Scott Is GnuCash installed from apt or the Software manager or is it a flatpak or snap installation?. The latter have had some problems with having access to the system from within the flatpak environment which you will find in the recent (August-November 18) archives. If all else fails you coul

...oops, sorry for the typo: I meant to type: "The existence of these two versions of GnuCash in the Software Store is confusing." Anyway, thanks. Be Well, Scott Scott Ellsworth || 415-625-3019 - Original message - From: Scott Ellsworth To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject:

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Hi David and David, I just solved the problem. Looking in the Ubuntu Software Center, I had "gnucash-jz" installed. When I installed it, that was the only version of Gnucash visible. Now when I looked again, I saw both that one and "GnuCash" (it says that it's version "1:2.6.19-1"; I don't know wh

..also I looked all over online and didn't find anyone else discussion this exact issue. I'm wondering if I should just reinstall the current version, or install a newer version, or install the version I have on my other computer. Be Well, Scott Scott Ellsworth || 415-625-3019 - O

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Hello David and David, The GnuCash data file is located in a Veracrypt volume. I never keep my financial files outside of an encrypted volume. Of course I'm only trying to open it when the volume is decrypted/mounted. When I look at the data file's properties, it says I'm the owner of it. If I try

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

There could be several problems, and you may need to do some research to figure out which you are having and how to work around it. First, are you able to open and mount the Veracrypt volume. You will need to have the Veracrypt program installed and running and have your Veracrypt key to succeed

Re: [GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Scott, Where is your data file located. The error message indicates a permissions problem not a problem in GnuCash itself. It may be that your data file is in a directory you do not own and you may not own the file itself. If you used administrator privileges to copy the data file to your system

[GNC] Could not read the contents of GnuCash: Error opening directory '[path name here]': Permission denied

Dear all, I recently installed Ubuntu 18.06 on a new computer. The version of GnuCash that installs from the repository is v2.6.21. I cannot open my GnuCash file located in a mounted volume from Veracrypt. For comparison, I do not have this problem with any other program in Ubuntu as far as I can
