We do hope so, but easier != easy. Writing a GUI is a lot of work, and aside 
from the general design one must pretty much start from scratch every time. I 
don’t anticipate that core GnuCash will ever provide multiple GUI toolkit 
implementations.

Re: [GNC] Cannot change preferences

[John Ralls]

Frank,

You’ve misunderstood the thread: It’s about a deficiency in the dependencies of 
the Debian package manager, not anything to do with GnuCash’s build 
requirements.

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest it is a Micro$oft 
"upgrade" problem.  My home Winoze server is up 24/7 (yes I know, ughh 
run a real os ), barring power outages out here in the sticks.

I do not know how many updates my computer installed since its last 
reboot but; I do know that I have had trouble for the last week 
accessing usb drives.  Part of the time they exist and part of time they 
don't according to windoze.

Not much help but; a little more information.

Another data point.  I experience the same problem with GnuCash 3.2 on 
Windows 7 when I select "Import transactions from CSV..." under import 
in the file menu.  The behavior is identical to what was described.

Re: [GNC] Balsheet-eg.scm problem

[Stephen M. Butler]

I tripped over a few more typos that seemingly were unrelated to the
errors produced.

I can get this set of files to work usurping the balsheet-eg.scm
report.  If I change that back to balsheet-fmtd.scm (and fix the name
dependencies in the file), it isn't seen by GNC.

Moving the files down to standard-reports throws other errors that I
can't figure out.  So, what has to happen to get the report to load
independent of balsheet-eg?

That is probably an historical artifact. You can run it in XFCE as that is 
built on Gtk. If you try to run it on KDE, you can still run it, but it will 
pull in the Gtk dependencies. (that is, it won’t use QT which is native to KDE)

Somewhere long in the future, when/if GnuCash abides the MVC pattern, it will 
be easier to port the interface using a native toolkit such as QT, Cocoa, etc. 
At present, the functional code is very tied to the UI which is built using Gtk.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Business Account Set Up Question & Customer Billing Question

[David Cousens]

Khristine,

Not exactly sure but you seem to be confusing the function ofg Opening
Balances with the contributions of each partner to the Equity in the
business. Opening Balances is used to record the existing balances in
any real accounts i.e. bank accounts held in your bank at the date you
start your books and is not associated with recording equity
contributions. 

The accounts Equity:Ram and Equity:Ros with their subaccounts
Investment and Drawing record the contributions to and withdrwals from
the equity in the business by each partner. I am assuming here that the
Equity:Ros and Equity:Ram accounts are placeholder accounts and the
appropriate Investment and Drawing accounts are subaccounts/child
accounts of these two placeholder accounts. 

Placeholders are normally read-only and should not normally have
transactions directly into them affecting the balance. The transactions
target the Investment sub accounts when contributing equity to the
business and the Withdrawals sub accounts when withdrawing funds from
the business. Each transaction consists of two splits each of which
affects a different account. For contributions to a business those
accounts affected are the Equity::Investment and the
Asset:Bank:Checking. Note, you may additionally have a Current Assets
placeholder account between your top level Asset and the Bank:Checking
sub account depending upon your business structure

When the original investment by the first partner was made e.g. by Ros
the transaction splits recordes at the date of investment should have
been:
  DebitCredit
Asset:Bank:Checking720
Equity:Ros:Investment   720

When the second partner ram made his contribution at a later date the
transaction splits recording that should have been:

  DebitCredit
Asset:Bank Checking720
Equity:Ram:Investment   720

There should be no transactions affecting the Opening Balances to
record these events. The balances after these two transactions should
be (assuming no other transactions have affected the balances which may
not be the case for the checking account):

Equity 1440
  Equity Ram720
  Equity Ram Drawing   0
  Equity Ram Investment  720
  Equity Ros720
  Equity Ros Drawing   0
  Equity Ros Investment  720 

Asset Bank Checking 1440 

I have used offsetting of the balances here to indicate that the Equity
Ram Drawing and Equity Ram Investment accounts are parents of Equity
Ram and sum into that account for example with a similar behavior fo
the same subaccounts for Ros.  The two placeholder accounts Equity Ram
and Equity Ros in turn sum into the top level Equity account. 

The balances of the Equity accounts should be credit balances in
accounting terms with the exception of the drawing accounts which are
called contra accounts and will have Debit (or negative balances when
you withdraw money from the business). All Asset accounts on the other
hand normally have a Debit balance unless they are in the red i.e have
a negative balance. If this is not already clear the Tutorial and
Concepts Guide (https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/index.h
tml)discusses this. The Wikipedia articles on Double Entry accounting
and the  Accounting Equation and Debits and Credits explain this fairly
completely.

Disclaimer:
As others have noted you should consult an accountant for specific
advice which relates to accounting in your jurisdiction. The above is
only general advice on how Gnucash is commonly used in most
jurisdictions which conform with general accounting practices and
should not be relied upon in any specific jurisdiction as the governing
tax and accounting legislation could override that general practice.

I've been running v3.2 for awhile (compiled locally) and recently pulled
down from github to fix some bugs so now have v3.2-100.

I had made changes to the eguile balance sheet program pre-3.x but
hadn't moved it in thinking the new multi-column balance sheet report
would make it obsolete.  That turns out to not be the case and the new
one is headed in a different direction.

So, I pulled out the old code and attempted to install
(balsheet-fmtd.scm and balsheet-fmtd.eguile.scm) but GNC ignored them. 
I remembered that I had to load them under the original name
balsheet-eg.scm previously before GNC saw them and added them in (after
that I could have both sitting there and working).  So, I renamed
balscheet-eg.scm to *.old andw copied balsheet-fmt.scm to have the
balsheet-eg.scm name.  That led me to discover several changes that were
needed (apparently due to changes from 2.6 to 3.x). 

I am down to this error and not understanding what it has to do with the
changes I made.  I've attached my versions of the old eguile balance
sheet just in case the stdout has a clue to what line in this is causing
the problem.  Remember that balsheet-fmtd.scm is currently named
balsheet-eg.scm in the above folder.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3 in the Debian / Ubuntu pipeline?

[GWB]

No disagreement here on building from source.  A PPA did exist for
GnuCash versions beyond the Ubuntu standard repo.  That was
GetDeb.org.  It went dark.  If I had installed 3.x.x. from GetDeb and
I had to reinstall for some reason, building from source would be
about the only option (or perhaps another PPA).

I'm not sure if that's trivial for most gnucash users on linux or not.
But if you do install 2.6.21 from a PPA and pin it (or build from
source) and you have to reinstall, your chances are much better that
the universal PPA will have something close enough to 2.6.21 that will
work.

So for ubuntu I mean I avoid installing a version signifigantly higher
than what is in the universal PPA.  If your distribution has 3.x.x in
the pipeline, you're probably OK with 3.2.

You're OK with all the versions if you are familiar with building from
source, and you know how to apply patches manually.

I haven't tried this yet, but I will at some point download the
gnucash-common .deb file and see if dpkg can find all the dependencies
when installing local:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/gnucash-common/download

Or perhaps:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/all/gnucash-common/download

At the moment they look the same; if Cosmic Carmic Cuttlefish gets a
deb for 3.x.x, it will be at the last URL, I think.

Why is gnucash in the Gnome ghetto for program categories?  Am I able
to run it in xfce because I already have the gnome dependencies
installed already?

That is the list of runtime dependencies extracted from the deb file.
In Ubuntu the package dconf appears to be an empty meta package that
doesn't pull anything else in.  Attempting to install it fails. I
believe that is the same in Debian.  It seems to be dbus-x11 that is
required for gsettings to work on Debian/Ubuntu.

Sorry, I don't understand the reference to ISO-Codes.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3 in the Debian / Ubuntu pipeline?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I’m not sure what you mean by ’not getting too far ahead of your distribution.’

I’ve successfully compiled and used 3.2 (and 2.6.17 and 2.6.19) on Ubuntu 16.04 
which has 2.6.12 in its repo.

Unless you’re using a dedicated PPA (which doesn’t exist for GnuCash), 
certainly changing repos to debian/unstable or trying to change to a different 
ubuntu repo (like using the bionic repo on xenial) can be dangerous.

But building from source, which is not all that complicated, is generally fine. 
(problems arise if you have dependency conflicts with other software)

Adrien

 Hi,
 
 I've been troubled by the lack of Gnucash activity in Debian/Ubuntu
 repositories. I previously used getdeb, which went silent around
 September 2017. I tried contacting the owners, but no reply. There
 was also an attempt on Launchpad to provided more recent versions via
 a PPA, but that also went inactive a few years back. Again I tried to
 contact the owners, but no response. And the main repos are stuck on
 2.6
 
 So for the last week or so I've been looking around, trying to figure
 out if I can start a PPA of my own, and looking for info on what are
 the necessary steps to fill it with .deb files. I was initially just
 looking to do 3.x on Ubuntu 18.04. Still haven't figured out exactly
 how this works.
 
 However I just came across this in my research. If I read it
 correctly, then it seems that 3.2 is being added to Debian Sid and
 so, eventually, to Ubuntu 18.10. Possibly it will be backported then
 to 18.04 and maybe even 16.x
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnucash/1:3.2-1
 
 Here's hoping.

Re: [GNC] No Disk error

[Adrien Monteleone]

Were either of you at any time storing your GnuCash files on an SD card?

If so, I’d suggest using a card to load the file, then doing a Save As 
elsewhere (with the card still in the drive). Then close and re-open GnuCash to 
load from the new location. THEN Safely Eject and remove the SD card.

Otherwise, some sort of bug is at play.

Regards,
Adrien

GSettings is a GIO Tool.

GSettings was introduced in 2.6, replacing gconf from our 2.4 branch.
Is your list also showing the _runtime_ dependencies or only the build

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3 in the Debian / Ubuntu pipeline?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I know at least one uses Fedora, so they won’t be building a .deb for you. (an 
.rpm perhaps?)

But building a .deb package is what you’re going to find in a repository. 
(Debian/Ubuntu/derivative repositories are collections of .deb packages)

3.2 has not made it out of Sid because of several issues, all noted on the 
page: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucash originally linked by Lincoln 
earlier in the thread.

That page seems to indicate 2 main issues (the others will likely auto-resolve):

1. Three Debian core supported architectures don’t have a successful GnuCash 
build for them: armel, mips, s390x (the last two had automated builds fail as 
of today even, producing segfaults when building, noted here: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906609)

2. GnuCash has a dependency on guile-2.2-dev, but it seems this can’t be 
satisfied on armel (and why it can’t build).

Once those builds are successful, it will likely come out of Sid and move to 
Testing.

So, unless you’re running one of those architectures, the short term solution 
is build yourself. (which really isn’t difficult, especially since the 
instructions have just been clarified and revised on the wiki)

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Cannot change preferences

Hi all,

AFAIK dbus-X11 is no direct dependency of GnuCash:
GnuCash requires GSettings,
only on Linux that requires dconf
and that again requires the dbus.

Re: [GNC] How Jobs Work ( was Re: Business Account Set Up Question & Customer Billing Question)

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yes, thank you Derek,

I was describing it backwards.

A single invoice can have only one job and a single job can’t be used with 
multiple vendors. (or multiple customers, but I would think that to be a very 
rare case)

So in addition to the first case, there is also the limitation that you also 
can’t buy supplies from multiple vendors on the same job.

Or did I confuse that as well?

The other part I never could understand was not being able to use the same 
‘job’ for both a customer and a vendor. So even following the above 
limitations, I can’t use a job on a vendor bill to rebill a customer AND assign 
that job on the customer’s invoice?

I’m also not quite understanding your last caveat. So the Job is then not an 
extra layer of info, but replaces the Vendor/Customer? I think I’m truly lost 
now on the feature and its purpose.

Regards,
Adrien

Oh, you are right, Ubuntu is the same for 2.6.19, it is only a
recommends.  I had not noticed that.  I will report a bug there.

I don't *think* that is an issue, I ran
sudo apt remove --dry-run dconf-gsettings-backend
to see what would happen and it wanted to take out half my system.

Can you remind me how you installed gnucash?  I expect you have said
but this has been a rather long thread.  If it was a pre-packaged
installer then I think that is a bug in the installer as it should
specify dbus-x11 as a dependency.  It is not an issue on the version
of gnucash in the Ubuntu (18.04) repository as that does specify
dbus-x11 as a dependency.


This point was one of the observations/questions I wanted to raise.

The version of gnucash I have, 1:2.6.15-1, was installed from the Debian 
Stretch repository. Just now I looked at the entry for this package on 
apt-cache and discovered that dbus-X11 is recommended for 
gnucash-1:2.6.15-1; whereas it has to be mandatory.  This is a bug which 
I will report to Debian.


I also inadvertently found another bug for this package.  Hitting the F1 
key is supposed to open the help window but does not.  Instead a small 
window opens with the message "GnuCash could not find the files for the 
help documentation.  This is likely because the 'gnucash-docs' package 
is not installed."  That package I have indeed installed; consequently 
failure to open the help window is another bug for me to file with Debian.


Another question is whether the dconf family of packages should also be 
mandatory for gnucash.

Re: [GNC] Balsheet-eg.scm problem

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

There should be a /usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/business-reports*
in your installation.

What version of GnuCash is this?  Considering it's /usr/local I'm
guessing you built it yourself.  Did you possibly upgrade a 2.6.x to 3.y
version and overwrite the older version?

Just to clarify -- I think you have this backwards a bit.  A Customer
(or Vendor) can have multiple jobs associated with them.  On the other
hand, a Job can only have one Customer or Vendor that owns the job.
Moreover, an Invoice or Bill can only have one "owner" (which can be a
Customer/Vendor or a Job).

So yes, if you buy parts or multiple items on one bill from a single
vendor, that can only be applied to a single job.

Re: [GNC] Source of quotes for LUxxxxxxxxxx funds

As a matter of fact, I've just extracted the price downloading modules into a
separate project: https://github.com/MisterY/finance-quote-python

so that it can be utilized by other packages independently of the Price
Database project.

Re: [GNC] GC 3.2 Import Price File CSV

[Deva -]

I think what Sebastien meant was that there appears to be a leading space in 
your stock definition in gnucash, not in your CSV file. At least, it appears 
that way from the screenshots you sent out. Of course, as he noted, it may just 
be a visual effect…

Cheers.

I have checked the CSV file and there are no spaces. I tried initially to
import a number of shares and none or them were recognised by the import
tool. It must be a fault in my security definitions I think. When F::Q was
working it would import the prices from Alphavantage so it was happy with
the security definition but maybe the CSV import tool is looking for a
specific structure in the database. I have defined all my shares in a
subcategory "LSE" and I cannot remember if this was a Gnucash structure or
one I made myself. See Screen shot:

Re: [GNC] Business Account Set Up Question & Customer Billing Question

Khristine,

  You should ask your accountant these types of questions. Until then, I
would make an incmoe account that would be the equivalent of the 'Member
draw' expense account. When I set up my business 26 years ago I had my
accountant check my CoA first thing. Now (and I'm on my third accountant and
have been for more than decade), when I want to learn how to handle a
situation I ask her.


I also have a billing question. When I enter a credit card charge or
checking account debit, I want to be able to assign a customer & their
specific job  to the purchase. We buy & bill out a lot of supplies for
each client-most with an upcharge so it isn't an even swap.


  Do you have all clients set up as Customers and the places you buy stuff
as Vendors on the Business menu? If so, use them!

  When you make a purchase you can create a vendor bill for the item and
amount as a 'New bill'. After posting it, pay it with the amount credited to
your credit card or checking account. When you create the vendor invoice
(regardless of it actually existing) you can charge that amount to a
specific customer/client and project.


I would hate to have to go back to QB but this is a deal breaker-lots of
parts for each customer and each customer has lots of jobs
(installs/service calls)


  Your choice. Learn or go back to the proprietary stuff.

  By the way, have you read the business sections of the Guide? It's a very
good place to start.

Regards,

Rich

Re: [GNC] PDFs splitting lines at end of page

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Mike,

This is a known bug in the external library we use to render reports (Webkit). 
This is fixed in newer versions of that library, but unfortunately it's not 
available for Windows. So on Windows we're stuck with the old version for now, 
and the annoying bug :(

The only work around I'm aware of is to export your report as html and print 
it from your webbrowser.

Regards,

Geert

Re: [GNC] No Disk error

[Mike stagl]

I have the same issue on Windows 7 and GnuCash 3.2, and I believe its because I 
have several SD card readers on my machine and no cards installed in them.


I haven't looked into a work around yet, but I agree its highly annoying.


I figure I'll need to uninstall my SD card readers in order to stop the alerts.


Anyone else have any thoughts?

Dear all I want to report a problem already submitted in this mailing list

Hi!

I am starting over with gnucash, and thought I'd do a clean re-install.
Note, I am on windows, and have removed all the gnucash files I could
find before installing 3.1.

However, now I am getting an annoying error message every time I try to
look at the preferences, as well as when I do "save as":

Gnucash.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
\Device\Harddisk1\DR1.

I have the options Cancel, Try Again and Continue. Try Again just pops
up the message again, so do the other two too. However, if I click
enough times on Cancel or Continue, the message goes away.

Note, when I change something in Preferences, that change stays when I
quit and restart.

This is quite annoying, and if anybody could shed some light on what has
happened and how to get rid of said message, I'd be very happy.

Re: [GNC] Source of quotes for LUxxxxxxxxxx funds

floppy5.25 wrote
> Can you please let me know how to check out your python code?

Sure. Glad you're interested. 
This is one of the reasons I did not continue with the original F::Q. It
would require installing Python *and* Perl for this fairly simple
functionality. And I'm running all my Python scripts on Android devices as
well as on desktops.

My current implementation is in the Price Database project
(https://github.com/MisterY/price-database).
This code downloads and stores the prices in its own database. The idea is
to separate the price retrieval section in the future into a Python
implementation of F::Q. The initial repo for that is at
https://github.com/python-finance/finance-quote.
My reports and other functionality are using the PriceDb as the price
storage. I.e. Asset Allocation (https://github.com/MisterY/asset-allocation)
and a few reports at GnuCash Portfolio
(https://github.com/MisterY/gnucash-portfolio), which has a CLI
(https://github.com/MisterY/gnucash-portfolio-cli) and Web UI interfaces
(https://github.com/MisterY/gnucash-portfolio-webui).
Any feedback welcome. We can discuss any questions or issues in the
repositories.

Looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/+package/gnucash-common
I see that version 3.2 is in the 'proposed' repository.  I hope that
means that it is intended that 3.2 should be the version at release.
For Ubuntu a later version of a package will not normally be included
after release of an Ubuntu version.  Bug fixes may be released but not
a version which changes the operation of the s/w.  The logic is
precisely your point about pinning, a user does not want the s/w
changing under his feet just by a routine update.  This means, for
example, that 18.04 is stuck with 2.6.19 for the life of 18.04.

Can you remind me how you installed gnucash?  I expect you have said
but this has been a rather long thread.  If it was a pre-packaged
installer then I think that is a bug in the installer as it should
specify dbus-x11 as a dependency.  It is not an issue on the version
of gnucash in the Ubuntu (18.04) repository as that does specify
dbus-x11 as a dependency.
