Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnucash
When I move my laptop eg from Sydney to London timezone, gnucash behaves poorly. The user model is that transactions are done on a particular day; for example I pay my rent on the first day of each month. When creating a transaction in the ledger or through a recurring transaction, one can only choose a date for it to occur, not a time, and I doubt that tracking the time would be very useful. However, it looks like gnucash internally stores the transaction as a timestamp, and displays them in the local time. So after moving to London, the rent payments appear to have been done on the last day of the previous month, and if I enter transactions in London they'll appear against the wrong day when I return home. As a workaround you can set TZ before running gnucash. There's some discussion of it here: http://www.mail-archive.com/gnucash- [email protected]/msg03494.html ** Affects: gnucash Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: gnucash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #137017 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017 ** Also affects: gnucash via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- gnucash is confused by timezone changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
