Re: [GNC] Upgrade 2.6.18 to 3.5

[Ian K via gnucash-user]

Tony,

I recently ugraded from 2.6.21 to 3.5 on Windows 10 and had to locate the
saved reports. I'll tell you what I did.
On my system this was a file called "saved-reports-2.4", which was located
at:

C:\users\USERNAME\.gnucash where USERNAME is the current user.

I copied this file to:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash

These locations might be different on your system, you can find the USERNAME
folder by hitting the Windows key and typing %userprofile%. Also you can
fing the Appdata folder by typing %appdata%

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm just a beginner with learning how to
package deb files.  So far it works with files I've gathered for others.

Thanks a lot for sharing the files. 

I've installed them yesterday and this version seems to work fine on my
Ubuntu 18.04 system without any additional packages. But I had already
installed 3.4.1 from debian before with all dependencies, quite a lot. 

By the way, 3.5 is not yet available for debian, the maintainer is
looking for help:

I think whether that works might depend on which version of
Debian/Ubuntu it is based.
If you get errors saying it can't install because of other stuff not
being installed then try
sudo apt-get install -f
which may fix those.

I have not used gdebi.  I uninstall previous versions.  How you do that
depends on how the previous version was installed.  If you did a local
compile and install then you will need to use the same make file to
uninstall it.

Otherwise, I do:

sudo apt remove *gnucash*

cd Download (or appropriate folder for the 3 deb files)

sudo apt install ./*gnucash*3.5_*.deb

Please note the leading ./ on the file name pattern.  Otherwise, apt
will go looking in the repository instead of your hard drive.


Here is the output from doing the above on my system:

Or, if your distro is Ubuntu based, you can download the *.deb files
from: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11gjnSIw9E8B8kOJ01DHQuEA83xidbw8E  for
the 3.5 version.

I've just upgraded from 2.6.21 to 3.5.1 for Windows 10. The upgrade performed 
seamlessly with only one problem so far, it seems to have lost my Saved Report 
Configurations from the previous version. Not too big a deal as it's easily 
created again, or maybe someone has an idea if I'm looking in the wrong spot?

For what it’s worth, I can report no file incompatibility problems in making 
the transition from 2.6.1 to 3.4 a few weeks ago.

Your mileage may, of course, vary.

I had planned to run the two versions in parallel for a while (with separate 
directories for the data), but quickly got fed up with the rigmarole of 
switching between the two.

Re: [GNC] Upgrade 2.6.18 to 3.5

[Adrien Monteleone]

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations

Read the section about where to find USER_DATA_HOME on your OS.

Find the saved reports in the location listed to be used in version 2.6 and 
then move them to the new location now used in 3.x and rename the file 
accordingly. (I seem to recall 2.6 used `saved-reports-2.4` and 3.x uses 
`saved-reports-2.8`.)

If you are still having trouble finding these locations, take a look at the 
very good diagrams under the "Diagrams of Configuration Locations” section for 
your OS. (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Windows) Note 
that the 2.6 chart is further down the screen. You’ll need to scroll for it.


Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Upgrade 2.6.18 to 3.5

[Adrien Monteleone]

Mileage varies when encountering bugs. If you want to see those known to affect 
to 2.6.12 you can search the Bugzilla db for that series, and/or time period. 
(not all bugs were specific to a particular release) *Many* improvements and 
fixes have been implemented since then.

If you only run what is available in the repo, that’s the most recent you can 
run without upgrading Mint itself and until 2020 when the Mint team re-bases 
their distro to a more modern version of Ubuntu.

The latest Mint, 19.1 - Tessa, is based off the Ubuntu 18.04 repositories which 
contains GnuCash-2.6.19. Tara (Mint 19) and Tessa (19.1) and the rest of the 19 
series are supported until 2023.

If you want more recent version like the 3.x series, you’d need to use the 
Flatpak version or build from source. (rather easy to do, especially with the 
new wiki instructions)

Regards,
Adrien

I think it was originally recommended to update to 2.6.19 or 2.6.21 first. 
(2.6.20 and .21 were snap fix releases for some critical problems with 2.6.19 
which was originally intended to be the *last* of the 2.6 series)

The storage locations for some items moved between versions. I think saved 
reports are affected. Take a look at the wiki. You likely just need to copy
