Re: [GNC] House renovation Expense or Asset?

[Tony Vanson]

Thank you for your responses.
At this stage there are no taxation issues, such as capital gains, to take
into account as I'm living in S.E. Asia. I am just looking at a simplified
way of recording all expenses incurred in connection with the renovation.
I have an asset parent account set up as "House" and a sub-account to that
as "Renovation". I also have an expense account as "Home Repair". My
thoughts are that anything spent on Renovation adds to the asset and is
technically not an expense to be recorded as Home Repair? Am I correct on
this?
Cheers

after the autoremove.

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

[Adrien Monteleone]

Nope.

Just:

sudo apt autoremove

will do.

Then run the rm commands. After that, there should be nothing left of gnucash’s 
prior installation.

Adrien

Ok
Do I have to include anymore information or just type
sudo apt autoremove

Yes, those directories contain files.

Re: [GNC] import map editor

[Eric Theise]

I appreciate Stefan raising this issue. I have the opposite issue; not an
empty editor, but an editor full of "Map Account NOT found" and
"Unspecified" lines. Geert Janssens suggested that my import maps have been
corrupted as the most recent comment in my bug filed at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794690 and, having just
installed 3.1.3, I'd like to make a go of fixing them.

A few questions.

* is there documentation somewhere that explains the format of the "Match
String" and what it's matched against?
* is there any reason not to delete the dozens of lines whose "Mapped to
Account Name" is "Map Account NOT found"?
* is there any reason not to delete the dozens of lines whose "Mapped to
Account Name" is "Unspecified"?
* is there any way to edit, as opposed to delete, a line or am I expecting
too much of the "Import Map Editor"?

Thanks, Eric

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

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can run the dpkg command. I don’t suspect it will remove anything extra. If 
not, then you can proceed with the rm commands. You might want to take a look 
at those directories. It’s possible they are now empty, but the directories 
were not removed. (It seems /etc/gnucash is gone now however)

Before you get to rm though, I’d also run the autoremove command that apt 
suggested to clean up all of those no-longer needed packages. (some of which 
were part of the original gnucash installation as it noted.)

Regards,
Adrien

Correct, with the caveat that while we are competent to tell you HOW to 
do things using gnucash, and while many of us KNOW the the correct 
answer, we do not hold the qualifications to give accounting/tax advice 
of this sort.  At least I do not.


Michael D Novack

PS -- Do you understand  WHY this is a tax issue? Again speaking as an 
"amateur", living expenses are not deductible, maintenance expenses are 
not deductible, but capital improvement expenses eventually ARE (in 
effect) deductible from the capital gain which may result when you sell 
the house. Raising the basis reduces the gain.

All improvements to the house are collected and added to the purchase price
when selling the house to reduce the capital gains on the sale.

The following is free advice from a non-professional and you get what you pay 
for. If the value is large then it's worth the cost to get professional advice.

As a general rule improvements like an addition are treated as an increase in 
asset value ("capitalized"), while maintenance like repainting or replacing a 
fixture with a like one is expensed. While in general the distinction doesn't 
matter for personal property, if this house is or will be your primary 
residence and it's in the US you get a tax benefit in reduced capital gains tax 
when you sell if you add the improvement cost to your basis. On the other hand 
if the house is to be a rental then it's a business situation and you want to 
expense as much as possible for an immediate deduction (and naturally the tax 
folks have rules to stop you from doing that) rather than to adjust the basis 
and depreciate it.

John Ralls

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

[Adrien Monteleone]

Dennis,

sudo apt list --installed | grep gnucash

will give you a list of any gnucash packages installed with the Ubuntu package 
manager. If you don’t see gnucash listed, you built it from source. (I still 
see gnucash-common-2.6.12 when I run that command because I had that version 
from the repos installed originally, but I don’t see the 2.6.19 that I built 
from source)

Since Ubuntu users /usr and you said a whereis command gave you both /usr/share 
and /usr/include, I’d be inclined to say you installed it with the package 
manager, not built from source.

*note, for this purpose the package manager doesn’t care which front-end you 
used, that is ‘aptitude’ ‘apt’ ‘apt-get’ are all the ’same.’ dpkg is a little 
different in that you can use it to install a .deb package downloaded directly, 
but as far as I know, there are no .deb packages of GnuCash anywhere so I’d say 
it’s safe to say you didn’t use that method. (I think the apt command above 
would still return such an install however as it gets registered with the 
package manager)

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

[David Cousens]

Dennis,
 If you use the --purge switch with apt remove i.e.
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnucash 
it should remove those configuration files in /usr/etc and /usr/include
and /usr/share files as well. A post on AskUbuntu  indicates that the
--purge switch does not remove configuration and data files in the
user's home directory. The man page on apt-get purge indicates it
removes configuration and data files but does not specify whether that
is in the user's home directory or not.  I think apt on Linux Mint is
somewhat similar to aptitude on Ubuntu but at present I don't have
Ubuntu running on a VM to test it out. The user preference files are in
/home/dennis/.gnucash for v 2.6. ( In V 3.1 they are located in
/home/dennis/.local/share/gnucash - conversion is automatic on the
first run of v3.1).  If you rename the /home/dennis/.gnucash directory
to /home/dennis/.old-gnucash before using the "sudo apt remove  --purge
gnucash" command and then rename them back to the original after having
done that, you can avoid any possibility of deleting the preference
files. 
The Ubuntu 16.04 distro appears to put its distribution version in
/usr  as the prefix rather than /usr/local.

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

[DaveC49]

Dennis,

The instructions for v3.1 should work. The only problem I had when i
compiled 2.6.21 after upgrading to 3.1 was that I had installed guile 2.2.3
and v 2.6.21 looks for guile-1.8 or guile-2.0. It is possible to have
several versions of the guile libraries and headers installed as they
install individually under a directory labelled with the version number in a
directory labelled guile. I am having a problem running it however as I am
getting an error related to being unable to override PYTHONPATH which I find
a bit strange as I ran CMake with the -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF switch. I'll work
that one out tomorrow. It is likely a library conflict as I am compiling it
on the same machine I run 3.1 on. 

David

Re: [GNC] Automated Reporting

[Mike Evans]

I have some code https://github.com/EvansMike/pycash/tree/master/goods_invoice
that I was experimenting with to print invoices. It uses the python bindings 
through GnuCash so should work with any backend, at least for invoices. It 
doesn't work (as is) anymore as MtGox no longer exists and the QR code part is 
just for BitCoin, but that basics of how to get information out of GnuCash and 
use a template to produce out may be be of use. Only tested in Linux.

I've researched this further and it could well be a Windows issue. I am
using Windows 10 Build version 17134. Released April 2018, mine upgraded
this week. 

Was this happening before upgrade - I do not know.
