Hi
First off: I would like to pay tribute to all those who have worked on
GnuCash to provide a valuable tool and to those who have worked to
circumvent the recent problems caused by Yahoo. To all of them, my thanks.
But I have a problem (probably caused by my own ignorance). I am running
GnuCash 2.6.17 on Ubuntu 16.04. Like many others I found that
Finance::Quote was failing. Following advice from this forum I updated
F::Q to version 1.45 by running
sudo gnc-fq-update
but did not try to update any stock prices (I only do this once a
month). Shortly afterwards it became apparent that F::Q 1.45 had some
problems (no criticism intended) so I have not upgraded further.
(Neither have I obtained a key from Alphavantage nor – obviously - added
the key to the environment file.)
However, since doing the upgrade whenever I run the Ubuntu Backup
utility from its GUI I get an error message that certain files cannot be
accessed (and are therefore not backed up). The files are:
/home/eric/.cache/dconf
/home/eric/.dbus
/home/eric/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
/home/eric/.gnupg/pubring.gpg~
/home/eric/.gnupg/secring.gpg
I have checked and all these files are owned by root. I suspect that the
cause is that I was in the wrong directory when I ran the fq-update –
but what do I know?
This is not a big issue but it upsets my tiny tidy mind. Is there a way
to correct any errors I caused? And, as the end of the month is
approaching and I will need to upgrade to F::Q 1.47, will these errors
interfere with that upgrade.
Thanks in advance
Eric
