After creating a new saved file, I tried installing GC 2.6.21 using Snap.  When I entered "snap install gnucash" I received a message "no gnucash found"!  So much for snap, at least for now. Regards, Les On 04/16/2018 01:13 PM, Fross, Michael wrote: > While I've installed some SNAPS on my

Hi Michael:  It certainly would be nice to have another source for new releases of gnucash. I have just discovered Snap and have mixed "feelings" about it.  I tried one install which resulted in no new application.  The information on GC 2.6.21 from the find gnucash reveals: Name

While I've installed some SNAPS on my Ubuntu machine, I've not used them extensively. Would a SNAP distribution of GNC allow a binary release for all distros without having to wait for the package maintainers to update their repositories? That would sure be nice. Michael On Mon, Apr 16,

Hello Everyone: I am currently running LInux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.6.17 (the latest from getdebs.net).  Recently, I was reading the Linux Mint blog which mentioned a new package manager called Snap, described as a self-contained package manager containing all dependencies.  I checked Synaptic and
