Re: [GNC] computer with Linux

Thanks Adrien, The Software Manager has an image which had 2.2.9 on it. I didn't scroll down to the details, just assumed the image was of the installed version - my bad. apt-cache policy gnucash also lists it as 3.8 the same package as the Ubuntu archive. I hadn't realized LM 21 was out. I

Thanks. My symlink works; I can cd into the tree via the symlink in a terminal session, open files in the through it, etc. Thanks for your response anyway. I'm just going to keep using Gnucash from the copy I made. -P. On Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 11:55 AM john wrote: > > > > On Jul 23, 2022, at

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux

David, I just checked a VM of Mint 20.3 I have and the GnuCash version is 3.8, not 2.2.9. Mint 20.x appears to be based on Ubuntu Focal. (20.04) Still, yes, 3.8 is quite aged, but not as ancient as 2.2.9. Mint 21 Vanessa was released and I see it has 4.8 in its repo. (based on upstream Ubuntu

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux

James, I presume you downloaded Linux Mint 20.3. Did you choose the Cinnamon desktop or one of the pther options? There are several options on Linux Mint to get GnuCash installed. The version supplied by the Software Manager is 2.2.9 which is well out of date with the current version 4.11. If

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux

James, GnuCash doesn't provide 'downloads' for Linux. (that is, ready to install and run.) GnuCash instead provides the source code for download to 'build' GnuCash. This is probably *not* what you want. (for advanced users and developers) You install it from *within* Linux (not downloading

Re: [GNC] Find

That only works for me if that part of the tree is already expanded. I tested this myself before sending my initial reply because it was my first thought to try. I think what you are describing is a GTK find function that is operating on the panel with focus. (which is the Account Tree) But

Re: [GNC] Find

It isn't supposed to bring up a list of accounts, only Find Account does that. Find is designed to give you a 'register' of transactions matching your criteria. So the idea was an alternative way to find out where the account is in the tree by searching for transactions assigned to the

I used the stock split tool under the tool menu and all I entered was the number of shares that should be added. There’s an option to enter the price too but I didn’t enter anything for it. I did this for the Amazon & Google splits and it worked fine. I didn’t have to calculate anything —— I

Re: [GNC] Stock Split - am I doing this right?

Depending on your situation, the built in mechanisms for calculating your basis and subsequently your gain may or may not generate accurate results. The lot feature is great when it works, which for me has been about 80%of the time. But if it doesn't get the right numbers (for whatever reason)
