Re: Printing no longer works on Windows 10 Pro

[David Carlson]

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, there was a period of time starting
in January when my Ubuntu 16.04 computer was also unable to print to a
network printer due to some subtle permissions issue, but now it fixed
itself after further updates.  I have had another 'Out of Memory" error in
Windows 7, which has crashed GnuCash more than once in the last couple of
weeks.  Windows is not the only OS that has issues from time to time.
Apple has recently had issues as well.

Not long ago my home gateway died and I spent 2 days  using my cellphone as
a wi-fi hotspot while waiting for AT technician to replace it.  Ain't
technology great!

First, remove your customizations. They’re wrong.

Second, use $HOME instead of ~. The shell understands ~ but cmake does not. 
BTW, even the shell doesn’t understand /~/. That’s why you got the “file 
problem creating directory” error.

Third, don’t use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH unless you have custom-built dependencies 
that you want to build against instead of the system-provided ones. Even if you 
do, build, test, and run GnuCash with the system-provided ones first so that 
you have a good baseline to build on.

Finally, you don’t say what is the path to your build directory, but the 
“unknown cmake command” error suggests that it’s a subdirectory of the source 
directory. If that’s the case the last argument to cmake should be “..” rather 
than “../gnucash”. There is a CMakeLists.txt in gnucash, but that bypasses all 
of the configuration done by the root CMakeLists.txt.

John Ralls

Re: GnuCash 2.6.7 question

[David Carlson]

Continuing on that line of thought, it should be possible to use the tool
called General Ledger or General Journal depending on which version you are
using to find the missing transaction.  You will probably need to open View
> Filter By > Date to extend the starting date of the view back to around
late Feb 2017.  If the transaction was saved to the book you should find it
there.

Re: Reporting based on search criteria and exprting transactions to excel. It's simple!

[David Carlson]

You are right.  You have found a combination of existing tools that can
extract data to a spreadsheet form useful to other applications.  It is
unfortunate that you did not find it sooner, but it is partially documented
in the WIKI as noted by David.  I have used a similar method from time to
time, sometimes to import data from outside HTML sources into a spreadsheet
 for further processing.

Re: GnuCash 2.6.7 question

[D via gnucash-user]

Hello,

Liking at the screen shot, I can see that you are able to view other 
transactions from that time frame (so it's not that the transaction date is 
causing it to disappear).

The one thing we can't tell room the screen shot is whether any of the splits 
in your transaction are actually assigned to the current checking account. If 
none of your splits are assigned to the checking account, then the transaction 
will disappear from this register the moment you press enter, since there is 
nothing in the transaction to bind it to this one.

Mike,

I'm sorry to hear that you've missed this aspect. I know that many long time 
users have heard that drill many times before; it's too bad you didn't get the 
same! 

I will note that there is a section in the wiki that talks about this, perhaps 
not exactly as you outlined, but pretty closely:

Reporting based on search criteria and exprting transactions to excel. It's simple!

[Mike Stillingfleet]

Dear All,

I have used GNUCash for a couple of years now.  in recent days I have come 
across a couple of features or tricks which have completely transformed the 
value of GNUCash to me. Yet neither of these features are in the help pages. Or 
if the are in the help pages I have consistently missed them in my efforts to 
find ways of reporting sensibly from GNUCASH. 

The first is that I have gone through all sorts of hoops to report on 
transactions based on a particular search criteria. 

I now find that this is simply achieved by doing a find from the edit menu. 
With the resultant search result tab open you can select the reports menu, 
account report and GNUCASH will create a report from those search results.

The second is that you can get your report into a spreadsheet very simply. 
Export the report as an html file. Open excel. Open the html file.

That's it. No converting pdf files to excel. No crazy export of transactions 
and importing CSV files etc etc.


I have to ask why is the combination of procedures not clearly spelt out in the 
help files. It has taken two years to discover this. I have posted several 
threads trying to achieve this. I think it has been possible all the time.

Now the information I have in GNUCash is suddenly an invaluable resource. I am 
no longer entering data in two or more places. I am no longer exporting 
transactions and manipulating them outside GNUCash.

A minor note to point out is that the values imported to excel initially appear 
as links through to the original transaction.  Copying the column and pasting 
as values takes seconds and then off you go. I think you could probably also 
set up a macro to do this step for you.

I am astonished that this is so simply achieved.  There are hundreds of threads 
on this forum with people obviously trying to achieve this. So obviously users 
are not getting appropriate instructions from the help files.

It it would be great and save everyone thousands of hours if it were to be 
included in the help clearly and obviously.

Re: GNUcash setup

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Dave,

To clarify, what I was suggesting was this:

Assets
Assets:Personal
Assets:Entity1
Assets:Entity2

with appropriate sub-accounts under each.

In line with this you’d also have:

Expenses
Expenses:Personal
Expenses:Entity1
Expenses:Entity2

with appropriate sub-accounts under each, and so on for Revenue and then 
Liabilities and Equity as needed.

Each of those ’second levels’ should probably be marked as placeholders to 
avoid a mess.

The other alternative would be this:

Assets
Assets:Current Assets:Checking
Assets:Current Assets:Checking:Personal
Assets:Current Assets:Checking:Entity1
Assets:Current Assets:Checking:Entity2

That is, if such actual real accounts exist for each entity. The same would go 
for liabilities and Equity would most likely ALL be under Personal, so no need 
for separate accounts.

For expenses, this would be the alternate format:

Expenses
Expenses:Utilities
Expenses:Utilities:Electricity
Expenses:Utilities:Electricity:Personal
Expenses:Utilities:Electricity:Entity1
Expenses:Utilities:Electricity:Entity2

with the individual subs being their respective percentages allowed to be 
deducted on the tax return. (or more likely, for that particular expense type, 
just leave everything personal and calculate the percentage at tax time off the 
main expense, which is personal)

Some expenses might only be for each of the business entities or one of the 
other, so not necessarily all expense categories would have entity sub-accounts.

In the second set of examples, the level just above the entities should 
probably be marked a place-holder.

Otherwise, yes, you’d have to keep separate books for each and figure out how 
to handle ‘paying yourself’ according to your local tax laws. You’d also have 
to figure out your itemized deductions a bit differently, but separate books 
would also give you separate ‘loss or gain from business activity’ numbers.

I’ve seen prior discussions showing both these methods with respect to rental 
property tracking. All properties are part of the same legal entity and so 
should all be on the same statements and return, but the owner wanted to track 
their profitability individually.

Personally, I keep everything in one book and don’t separate entities at all 
because I don’t have individual concerns I need to analyze. But I do track 
separate “revenue streams” for various work.

Adrien

Re: GNUcash setup

[DaveC49]

Ken, Adrien
Just a quick note re "separate account trees for each business".

I have experimnted to try to do this within the one set of books (i.e. file)
in Gnucash and have never found a way of doing it.

My problem has always been creating an entity level top account as there is
no top level account of type entity in the Gnucash structure which can have
the other major account types (i.e. Asset, Liability, Equity, Income,
Expense) as the type of its sub accounts. 

The account type of a top level account is restricted to be one of {Bank,
Cash, Asset, Credit Card, Liabilty, Stock, Mutual Fund, Income, Expense,
Equity, A/Receivable, A/Payable,or Trading}. Having made a choice of the top
level account (e.g. Asset),the choice of account type for a subaccount is
restricted to types in the Asset and Liability classes , i.e.{Bank, Cash,
Asset, Credit Card, Liability, Stock, Mutual Fund, A/Receivable, A/Payable}.
If the top level account is of type Liability, the choices are restricted to
the same list. If the top level account is an Equity account type, its sub
accounts can only be of type Equity. Expense and Income class top level
accounts can only have a type for the subaccounts of {Income, Expense}. This
precludes setting up multiple entity structures with the entities as
separate top level accounts with their own sub trees.

I think this is by design and that the expected strategy is to use separate
files for separate entity. 

I have adopted the second strategy you mentioned of having "entity"
subaccounts under each of the major top level classes {Asset,Libility,
Equity, Income, Expenses} to separate my wife's, mine and a few minor
business ventures we operate jointly or separately. It works OK, but
increases the likelihood of putting a transaction in the wrong account and
the balance sheets and income statements are not ideal but easily rearranged
once generated. The main distinction for me is that none of these ventures
files a separate tax return and they are basically at the hobby level since
we retired.

Fix for yahoo_json for Windows users

[Chris Good]

Hi,

 

Getting stock prices from the ASX stopped working approx. 11th Feb 2018 when
the m.asx.com website began being redirected to the ASX home website.

If you'd prefer not to use AlphaVantage, which I believe can be intermittent
sometimes, an alternative GnuCash source for stocks is Yahoo as JSON.

Unfortunately, source Yahoo as JSON in Windows was not returning a valid
date as Windows strftime function does not handle %T, so this was causing
many perl warnings. These warning did not seem to matter when only looking
up 1 stock, Finance::Quote would return date 00/00/2011 and gnc-fq-helper
would change this invalid date to the current date.  But when looking up
multiple stocks (>15 in my case), it caused GnuCash to hang.

 

There is now a fix available so that YahooJSON.pm returns the correct date
of the stock price, but it is not yet included in the official
Finance::Quote module available from CPAN (currently version 1.47).

 

If you'd like to manually install the fix now, it is available on github in
my personal github repository:

Enter 

https://github.com/goodvibes2/finance-quote/blob/FqIss78YahooJson/lib/Financ
e/Quote/YahooJSON.pm

in a browser, click on the Raw button which should open the contents of the

new YahooJSON.pm file on a new page.

Use Control-A to highlight it all, then paste it into a text editor, say
Notepad, then

'Save As' over the top of the existing YahooJSON.pm:

 

Windows (Strawberry Perl):

  C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\YahooJSON.pm

 

To test in a cmd.exe window:

cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\

echo (yahoo_json "CBA.AX") | perl gnc-fq-helper

 

The response should be the following with no warnings:

(("CBA.AX" (symbol . "CBA.AX") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2018-03-02 12:00:00")
(last . 75.73) (currency . "AUD")))

 

To setup a GnuCash stock to use YahooJSON for an Australian stock, in the
Tools, Security Edit window, add the .AX suffix to the Symbol to tell
YahooJSON that this stock is on the Australian Stock Exchange,  and select
Single, Yahoo as JSON as the 'Type of quote source'. Eg:

 

Symbol CBA.AX

Display symbol   CBA

TypeASX

Get Online Quotes   Ticked

Type of quote source  SingleYahoo as JSON

 

Regards, Chris Good

Alphavantage

[Les]

I have tried for several days to update stocks, currencies, etc. The 
last update I received for currencies was 02/13/2018 and the last update 
for stocks was 02/23/2018. I have an Alphavantage API key and it was 
added to the end of my environment file.


I am on LInux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.7.17 (getdebs).  I also have the lasted 
F::Q update I have set all my stocks to unknown: Alphavantage.  My 
stocks are listed on Asx Tsx and others.  My currencies are AUD, CAD, 
CHF, HKD, CNY, SGD, MOP, THB and USD.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Les

I have the same setup on the latest MacOS and GC 2.6.19.  Same results.

Gnucash 2.7.5 Installation

[Roger Miskowicz]

I am having difficulty building gnucash 2.7.5 from the latest git clone.

I have modified  by:

adding:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

changed:
#include 
to:
#include 

I am using:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/~/gnucash/gnucash-devel -D
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/gnucash ../gnucash

which gives me the following errors:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (file):
  file problem creating directory: /glib-2.0/schemas


-- Performing Test have_mod_mask
-- Performing Test have_mod_mask - Failed
CMake Error at gnome/CMakeLists.txt:59 (gnc_add_swig_guile_command):
  Unknown CMake command "gnc_add_swig_guile_command".

My OS is: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

I would appreciate any help in addressing these errors as well as any
related guidance for building 2.7.5.

 Hello,



 I'm very much a newbie and I'd appreciate some help. I used GnuCash
 last year for our small nonprofit to keep track of income and

 how to use it for simple and split transactions last year and it
 worked fine. I haven't used it since and when I tried to carry on
 where I left off a year ago, I encountered a problem.



 I set up a payment and split it into its two expense components - no
 problem. I hit Enter, but instead of entering that transaction and
 moving to the next line for the next entry, my transaction
 disappeared from view and all that was left was the date. However,
 when I began to enter it again beginning in the Memo column, the
 whole transaction reappeared with the correct amounts and splits.
 Hit Enter, and the same thing happened - line disappeared except for
 the date. Same thing happened when I clicked on the Enter button on the 
 menu rather than hitting Enter on the keyboard.



 Not sure why I was able to figure it out a year ago, but having
 issues now, but I'm assuming I'm making some simple mistake. Can anyone 
 help me out??

RE: GnuCash 2.6.7 question

[David Dutra]

Colin,

I've attached a screen shot. Everything is fine through the transaction dated 
2/25/2017 that I entered a year ago. Today I wanted to pick up with the first 
transaction of the new fiscal year which was a cash payment of $1,550 dated 
3/3/2017 that was split between $1,500 for salary and $50 for expenses. I 
believe the way it's shown on the screen is the way it should look. The problem 
is, if I hit Enter (either by hitting the key or clicking on the menu), the 
transaction is no longer there - or anywhere else on the whole ledger - but if 
I start to input it again, it all comes back, properly split.

 Does anyone have any idea of why version 2.6.19 of GnuCash will no
 longer recognize any physical printer hooked to my Windows 10 Pro
 computer?  All other windoze programs do, and until today I have been
 able to print any GnuCash report on this computer. Split lines and all.
 I needed a quick and dirty one page report so didn't do the html export
 print or I would not have noticed. It has worked before, I use it to
 print tax reports for each month of the year.

 Just to check, I looked on my laptop which has windoze 10 home with
 GnuCash 2.6.19, and it recognizes and prints to all of my printers.

 Both computers are running 64 bit versions of windoze, one pro the other
 home, and I am using the same data file on both computers (moved the
 portable usb drive).

 I have rebooted the computer, unistalled 2.6.19 and reinstalled from a
 new download.

 Suggestions (besides dumping windoze, I am down to two legacy apps, then
 Hallelujah Unix here I come) ?

I have no idea what caused it but; the active printer list is working 
now.  All of my printers are showing up and working with 2.6.19 again.

Discover Card Working

[Ron Schnatzmeyer]

There was a post earlier this week about downloading Discover Card.

I was able to get it working:

You first have to manually add the account in aqbanking setup. Discover 
won't automatically download the account list.
When you set up the connection use 'Discover Card Account Center' for 
ORG and '9625' for FID. I got those values from my Quicken log.

After that it worked. I hope that works for you.

Bayes Matching / Updating Help

[Evan Van Dyke]

I’ve been using GnuCash for five or six years now, and by and large it works 
very well for me.  The one thing that I still find somewhat annoying is poor 
baysean matching of imported transactions to scheduled ones on my credit cards. 
 Maybe 80-85% of everything matches perfectly, but there are a few items which 
seem to never match.   Typical example is my water/storm/garbage bill.  It 
tends to vary by +/- $10 every month.  The Bayes filter almost never matches it 
(due to the price variance I assume), and the “right” one doesn’t show up in 
the manual match list if I try to match manually (minimum to display currently 
set at 1).  Often I’ll get some other transaction in the list which has a 
closer price, but wrong description/text.   Usually that other transaction was 
matched by Bayes to some other transaction in the import, which is extra 
frustrating; You can’t reconcile 2 imported transactions to the same scheduled 
one!

Similar issue with my contributions to college savings plans for 2 children.  
Same price, only difference is the account# in the description field.  Bayes 
/always/ matches both incoming transactions to the lexically-sorted first one 
of the 2 scheduled Tx in my register.

Looking for some way to force-train the bayes DB better:
   - Temporarily lower the filter enough for the right transaction to show up
   - Have Bayes re-match when I do something like set the proper expense 
account for the new transaction
   - Some way to “force match” the two transactions after the initial import 
(and kill the duplicate)
   - Figure out how to update my scheduled Transaction so it’ll show up “above 
the line” and I can select it.

Open to any ideas/guidance.I see from the release notes that 3.0 is 
supposed to have new/better Bayes support; will that help me resolve this?

Thanks for any/all assistance!

—Evan

GnuCash 2.6.7 question

[David Dutra]

Hello,

 

I'm very much a newbie and I'd appreciate some help. I used GnuCash last
year for our small nonprofit to keep track of income and expenses based on
transactions through our check book. I figured out how to use it for simple
and split transactions last year and it worked fine. I haven't used it since
and when I tried to carry on where I left off a year ago, I encountered a
problem.  

 

I set up a payment and split it into its two expense components - no
problem. I hit Enter, but instead of entering that transaction and moving to
the next line for the next entry, my transaction disappeared from view and
all that was left was the date. However, when I began to enter it again
beginning in the Memo column, the whole transaction reappeared with the
correct amounts and splits. Hit Enter, and the same thing happened - line
disappeared except for the date. Same thing happened when I clicked on the
Enter button on the menu rather than hitting Enter on the keyboard. 

 

Not sure why I was able to figure it out a year ago, but having issues now,
but I'm assuming I'm making some simple mistake. Can anyone help me out??

 

Thanks,

David

"Company name" "Matches Regex" "."

That should work. I admit it's not obvious at first sight and gnucash would be 
more helpful if it offered a simple option to highlight all...

Interesting. 
The actual crash is at 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-22/gdk/gdkwindow.c#L664 

Where they don’t check for a NULL window before dereferencing it.
Looks to me like the problem is either at 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-22/modules/input/gtkimcontextxim.c#L656
 

 
or the next line. One of those calls is returning NULL and the code assumes 
that it doesn’t.

That might be because the event->window is NULL. That’s still a Gtk problem, 
though I’ll leave it up to the Gtk folks to figure it out. GnuCash is clean on 
this one.

You should probably start off by filing a bug with Arch and let the Gtk 
packager take it up with the Gtk folks.

Regards,
John Ralls

Sorry, the first one went from the wrong email account for the list.

It looks at first blush like a bug in Gtk3, but it’s hard to be sure without 
being able to see the actual function calls. Can you install debug symbols for 
gtk3 (including gdk-x11) and gnucash, crash it again, and make a new stack 
trace?
