Hello,
Recently I moved to KDE Neon as my preferred distro, I had manually
installed Gnucash 2.6 which connected to MySQL perfectly fine. A recent
system update forced the removal of Gnucash in order to update some
libraries. When I tried to re-install from the Discover Software Center,
the only version available was 3.8 via Flatpak.
The installation of this version went fine, with some minor changes:
"Your gnucash metadata has been migrated.
Old location: /home/user/.gnucash
New location: /home/user/.var/app.org.gnucash.GnuCash/data/gnucash
If you no longer intend to run GnuCash 2.6.x or older on this system you
can safely remove the old directory.
In addition:
The following file has been copied to
/home/alan/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/gnucash instead:
-config.user (Renamed to: config-user.csm)"
But when I try to retrieve my old accounts, it refuses to connect to the
database, with the following message:
"The server at URL mysql://user@localhost/gnucash experienced an error
or encountered bad or corrupt data."
In the end, I uninstalled Gnucash 3.8 Flatpak version and installed
2.6.19 through apt, which works.
Any insights into making the newer version work will be greatly appreciated.
