Dan, Excellent. Happy endings are good :) FWIW, I have java-1_8_0-openjdk (and the plugin) installed in 42.3 on multiple machines and gnucash runs fine including reports. But I do NOT have java-1_7_0-openjdk (or the plugin) installed on any of those machines. My desktops are XFCE and LXDE(gtk) so

John - This was a good clue - at least I have a work-around - THANKS! I un-installed the openjdk-plugin packages (which is what provides the IcedTea plugin), and now the reports run just fine!!!  But I still have NOTHING from the OpenSuSE forum on why they were crashing for me, or working for

Ralph - No joy.  I disabled the GNOME repository and un-installed 2.6.16-98.1, then did 'zypper in gnucash' which got me 2.6.16-4.1.  Same failure.  I also tried removing my .gnucash directory on the off-chance that it was something in my saved reports that was a problem - same error. My loc

Ralph - That's actually where I started this journey :-)  I upgraded from OpenSuSE LEAP 42.2 to 42.3 (with the GNOME repo disabled); this resulted in installing 2.6.16-4.1.  When I tried to start gnucash it crashed per my original message.  Then I tried the GNOME repo 2.6.18 AND a local build

Hello Dan. The gnome repository is not part of the "official release" distro for 42.3. You could try this, nothing to lose except maybe some time: Uninstall the 2.6.16-98.1 version. Uninstall any other version of GnuCash you currently have installed, regardless of where you got it from. Now instal

It's out of the GNOME repository on opensuse.org: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/ For me, both versions crash when I try to run a report from my primary data file Dan On 12/14/2017 12:24 PM, listreader wrote: On 12/13/2017 01:54 PM, Dan Rawson wrote:

Please remember to copy the list on all replies. GnuCash 2.6 uses an obsolete version of the WebKit library that hasn’t been updated in several years. It shouldn’t be used for anything besides GnuCash because it has a huge number of known exploits that have been fixed in the current WebKit2. T

Re: Coredump after openSuSE upgrade

2017-12-14 Thread John Ralls
The crash appears to be a webkit problem that’s triggered by a report you left open when you quit GnuCash the last time you were using the data. If you remove the .gcm file in ~/.gnucash/books corresponding to the file that’s causing trouble GnuCash will open it with only the Accounts tab open.

Additional info - if I open the previous "save" file, it opens normally :-(( Is there any way to test the gnucash data file WITHOUT opening it in gnucash? Thanks! Dan On 12/13/2017 01:54 PM, Dan Rawson wrote: I upgraded OpenSuSE (just a point release), but kept gnucash at the same version.  Th

I upgraded OpenSuSE (just a point release), but kept gnucash at the same version.  This is part of the distro - it's gnucash 2.6.16-98.1. gnucash now coredumps when accessing my primary data file. I can still create a new file (and open it later), and I can still access the original file from
