Re: [GNC] Up grade from 2.6.xx to 3.1

[Dennis Powless]

I read up on uninstalling programs and about the - -purge command but didn’t 
know how to combine it with the dbkg command.  

To be honest, I don’t remember how I installed it gnucash on that machine.

I forgot to mention for the ping, the server is: 204.107.200.65.

Though you could ping ‘lists.gnucash.org’ as well, it will fail if you’re 
having DNS problems.

Since you were able to send the below message, the server is not down.

I just logged in successfully.

Perhaps you have a DNS issue?

Have you tried pinging the server?

Re: [GNC] Up grade from 2.6.xx to 3.1

[Adrien Monteleone]

Dennis,

As dpkg tells you, only the config files are on the system. Those are not 
removed by a ‘remove’ command, you need to purge as the command response 
advises.

Try ONE of the following: (as far as I’m aware, these three produce identical 
results in this case)

sudo apt purge gnucash

sudo apt-get remove --purge gnucash

sudo dpkg remove --purge gnucash

If you still get those hits on whereis, then you might need to remove those 
manually a la:

sudo rm -irv /etc/gnucash
sudo rm -irv /usr/include/gnucash
sudo rm -irv /usr/share/gnucash

Those commands will remove all of the contents AND the respective /gnucash 
directories. (that’s what the -r option does. I included the -i option for 
‘interactive’ so you have to confirm each removal. If you don’t want this, 
leave the ‘i’ out. The -v option is for ‘verbose’ which will write out to the 
terminal as each file and directory is removed. You can leave it off as well if 
you prefer.)

Be VERY careful with those last three commands. Make sure you have them exactly 
as they appear. (which is why I included the ‘-i’ option, so you could catch a 
mistake in the path.)

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Unable to retrieve stock price quotes - Australia

[Michael Gordon]

 I'm running Gnucash 3.1 with Finance Quote 1.47 on a Windows 10 PC.

Up until today I was running 2.6.
For years I was able to update stock prices no problem.
This stopped working in 2.6 some time ago.
I updated to 3.1 hoping that would fix it.

BTW I had to install Strawberry Perl to get the "Install price
retrieval..." working.

I've tried all the options available in the Security editor without success.

One odd thing is that if I choose AlphaVantage, US 'single' (I do have an
API key) for a few stocks they do not show up in the "Unable to
retrieve..." list BUT a new price is NOT added to the price database.

Would greatly appreciate some help with this.

Mike.

Can you install emacs for windows? That should give you a LISP

You can if you want. I can't replicate it. In fact on my VM (just now updated 
with the "April" upgrade) the main window won't stay in front except when I 
hover over its tile on the taskbar. As soon as I click the tile the save file 
dialog pops back to the front.

Meanwhile Bob Fewell reported on the dev list that he'd found that gtk+ from 
two months ago doesn't have the can't-connect-to-drive problem, so I'm about to 
start a bisect to find the commit that broke it.

Re: [GNC] Up grade from 2.6.xx to 3.1

[Dennis Powless]

I was able to use the remove feature in Ubuntu Software. however after
I ran that, I did the whereis gnucash and this is the output.

dennis@dennis-XPS-8500:~$ whereis gnucash
gnucash: /etc/gnucash /usr/include/gnucash /usr/share/gnucash


I then did
sudo apt-get remove gnucash

repeated whereis gnucash with same output.

I don't have anything /gnucash in the lib directory

Here is the output of the lib directory

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the report. I'd missed including some AQBanking and Gwenhywfar XML 
dialog descriptions when creating the new bundle file for Macs. That's fixed 
and there's a new Gnucash-Intel-3.1-3.dmg (sha256: 
777e532a80c8061c352bf518e6948155af5e408b148df381a1e6cd85b13d66e9) at 
SourceForge and Github with the files.

[GNC] Mac OSX - Crash when adding new user to online banking

[john]

I am running gnucash 3.1 (4/28/2018) on Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.6 

I am hitting this same crash that has been reported since 2010, but most 
recently on this forum a year ago:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2017-April/070222.html

When setting up a new user for online banking, the setup wizard crashes and 
gnucash crashes as well.

Repeat:

1. Install 3.1 .dmg on mac osx Sierra
2. Choose Tools-> Online Banking setup -> next-> Start AqBanking Wizard -> 
Create User

Crash -- program disappears and must be restarted, with file locked.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,

john

Re: [GNC] Unable to select Drive to Save As

[Adrien Monteleone]

Perhaps the save dialog is hiding behind the main window? (that’s not supposed 
to happen anymore, but...)

Without moving to a different app, hover over GnuCash in the taskbar and see 
how many windows are associated with it.

Adrien

You can clear enough to get a clean build by deleting //gnucash, 
where  is the root of the installation--the parent of bin/, etc/, 
/, and share/.  is whatever your system calls its library directory: 
In the old days it was just lib/, but some systems use lib64/ and some use 
lib/x86_64-gnu-linux or something similar. For example, if you’re installing 
into $HOME/.local and lib isn’t mangled on your system,
  rm -rf $HOME/.local/lib/gnucash
will delete all of the loadable modules and precompiled guile modules so they 
don’t interfere with the build.

[GNC] current-vs-average report & 3.x

[Gour]

Hello!

Before attempting to fix it myself, I'm curious if someone fixed
current-vs-average report to make it work with GC-3.x?

I'll be interested for YTD-budget as well, but I believe that Chris has done
some work in regard...


Sincerely,
Gour

Re: [GNC] Unable to select Drive to Save As

[keithwjones]

I think that this could also be connected. 

Create Invoice > Print > Export PDF

The save window flashes up and then disappears. Program locks up. 

If you do something else like open a browser then go back to Gnucash the
save window comes back.

Re: [GNC] Up grade from 2.6.xx to 3.1

[DaveC49]

Dennis

It is probbaly a good idea to uninstall the previous build of 2.6.x before
upgrading. With the changes between 2.6 and 3.1 there may have been changes
in the libraries/library names such that some older libraries may not
necessarilybe overwritten.

How to remove it will depend upon how you installed it and in which location
you installed it. If you built it from sources and you have retained the
source directory, try changing to the top level source directory or a build
directory if there is one in a terminal and then type 

make uninstall

if it was installed under your home directory

or sudo make uninstall

if it was installed to a system directory like /usr/local or/opt.

If you didn't retain the source directory and/or build directory then things
get a bit harder. One strategy would be to download the sources for that
version again. Follow the instructions for buidling that version apart from
the "make install" or "sudo make install" at the end. This will recreate a
manifest file. Then issue the "make install" or "sudo make install" in the
top level source directory (if you built them with a build directory then
issue the command in that build directory.)  Both Cmake and autotools can be
used on the later 2.6.x versions.

You can tell where Gnucash is installed using
whereis gnucash 
in a shell to list the locations that gnucash was installed to. If the first
part of the path is /usr/local or /opt or another system location ( that is
one not under the /home/dennis tree) then you will need to use sudo as a
prefix to make uninstall. I am not sure if whereis locates installs under
your home directory however.


If you installed using apt then

sudo apt-get remove gnucash
should do the job.

If you installed from a debian package you downloaded

sudo dpkg -r gnucash

should also remove it

There are instructions on the 

The BuildUbuntu16.04 wiki page has a section for Uninstalling Gnucash as
above. It also has a link  and a link to another which has instructions for
manually removing Gnucash. I need to add more to that page but the manual
removal instructions there do work. Note you need to use sudo before any
commands if installed in a system location.

I would try the instructions above first however as manually deleting things
from system directories 
can be hazardous to your system.

Cheers

David

[GNC] Transactions for two different banks not downloading

[KindWoman]

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

The banks are not associated with each other.

This is the first time I've had this problem.

I have not changed log-in info for either bank.

My online connection is excellent.

There have been many transactions as viewed at the banks' sites.

Here is the error message:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Gnucash has been serving my needs well for years and I would like to 
continue to use it!


Thank you,

Paula
