Re: [GNC] Moving to Linux

[Peter West]

You can (and should) always check which files will be affected by using ‘ls’ as 
in my example, before using rm on the same pattern.

rm * will remove files NOT starting with ‘.’

Be careful with 'rm' and the asterisk.
rm ._* will remove files with names that start with anything followed by '_'
rm ._ * will remove everything in the directory.

If these files are on linux try

$ ls ._*

That should show you those files. If there are none you want to keep then

$ rm ._*

FYI, these "._*" files are metadata companions to other files in the 
same directory. If you have a file "._mybook.gnucash" (to invent an 
example), you probably have a file "mybook.gnucash" in the same directory.


This pair of files recreates a capability that Mac and other filesystems 
have: to store metadata along with the data of a file. For 
introductions, see:
/Why are dot underscore ._ files created, and how can I avoid them?/ 
>, and
/Resource fork, //Compatibility problems/

for introductions.


It's probably more correct to think of your non-Mac system as creating 
these files. Did you publish your Linux file system to the Mac using 
NetATalk or Samba, and then use the Mac Finder to copy the files from 
the Mac file system to that published file system? If so, then NetATalk 
or Samba told the Mac it supported storing metadata, when the underlying 
Linux file system did not have a way of storing metadata. Thus perhaps 
NetATalk or Samba created these "._*" files as a workaround for storing 
the file metadata.


My understanding is that Linux file systems can actually store file 
metadata in the form of "extended attributes". But also, I believe that 
most Linux apps don't use file metadata. Thus you might be safe to 
delete all the ._* files. Other replies in this thread, and the 
Apple.Stackexchange.com article above, have offered ways to delete the 
files if you don't want them.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Linux

[D. via gnucash-user]

When I look at 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME, I think it 
says for Linux, GNC_DATA_HOME is USER_DATA_HOME/gnucash, and USER_DATA_HOME is 
$HOME/.local/share, so that should turn into $HOME/.local/share/gnucash

A similar look at GNC_CONFIG_HOME yields $HOME/.config/gnucash

At least, that's how I interpret that page. I've been spectacularly wrong 
before, though.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Linux

[Stephen C. Camidge]

I assumed that

General Configuration data
Gnucash 3.0 and newer: The contents of GNC_DATA_HOME and GNC_CONFIG_HOME.

Linux: HOME/.gnucash - most of your preferences, adjusted report settings, 
column withs, window positions, etc.

means that in HOME, I should find a directory called .gnucash but I do not see 
one?

Re: [GNC] Moving to Linux

Thank you very much. I will give the prefs a try!

Rather than actual path I would like to do the whole drive (remove all files 
that begin with '._*')

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app

[John Ralls]

The important thing is to make sure that you don't restore an old version of 
GnuCash dlls. The most straightforward way is to leave executables out of the 
backup plan because you can always download them again from their respective 
sources. A bit less simple is to have a separate backup set for them so that 
you can easily roll back after an update or restore more quickly after a disk 
failure.

John Ralls

I've never encountered ._* files, but you can get rid of them all with `find 
path -name ._* -delete`, substituting the actual path you wand to search for 
path.

Re: [GNC] OFX connect/AQbanking problem

[D. via gnucash-user]

Sure, I understand. No problem! I am pretty sure the problem is on the Quicken 
side, rather than AQbanking. Others who have reported these problems over the 
last year or so have also noted that their attempts to negotiate with their 
financial institutions have been met with resistance from the banks. The 
successes that have been reported have resulted from users who downloaded a 
recent copy of Quicken and sniffed the packets that come and go during a 
session with their bank under Quicken. I long ago abandoned downloading 
transactions from banks, for these reasons, but you could always try that 
approach.

Thank you for the explanation, David.  My "pique" if you will, was the 
lack of response following the last reply.  What I was hoping for was a 
pointer to what changed between version 2 and version 4 of GC in 
aqbanking, since the older version did downloads fine, but the new 
version doesn't, or failing that, some way to diagnose the problem based 
on the error message, or lastly a person I could contact that knows the 
internals of the module, especially since Quicken is supported by the 
bank (I don't have Quicken, btw).  In any case, I don't "blame" anyone, 
especially not for a volunteer maintained and developed program. Such an

Elmar,

The AQbanking connection is a commercially-maintained black box protocol that 
was previously reverse engineered by the diligent volunteer maintainer of the 
AQbanking package. The fact that it failed when the commercial vendor altered 
the innards inside the box is not surprising. The ongoing challenges of 
figuring out the workarounds demonstrates the skill with which that commercial 
vendor has created their new system. There have been numerous discussions on 
these lists regarding different attempts. That they haven't worked for you is

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app

[Mahon Finbar]

OK, I'll try that, thanks.

I have the most recent version for Windows 10, afaik. Haven't recently 
downloaded any update and have been using the current version for a 
while, like since last q 2020. Could be a storage glitch, I suppose.


Should I make a specific backup? I have backblaze for backup, but do I 
need to ensure files are the latest?

You don't say what version of GnuCash, but GnuCash 4.x renamed 
libgncmod-app-utils.dll to libgnc-app-utils.dll, so it seems that you have some 
leftover bits from an earlier installation. Try uninstalling GnuCash with Apps 
& Settings then delete the installation directory--it defaults to C:\Program 
Files (x86)\gnucash--before reinstalling GnuCash 4.4.

Sorry, sent this with the wrong email address.

A Windows message? Using W10, no recent change with Gnucash.

Needs task manager to get rid of the message.

Re: [GNC] OFX connect/AQbanking problem.

[Elmar]

Alas, it seems as if the assembled knowledge base cannot solve this.  It 
bothers me that this used to work fine in the older version, but now 
fails, despite having the bank in the database.  No help at all?  The 
bank will not "expose" its OFX files for download - only CSV, and that's 
a royal pain. - Elmar

Hi:
Thanks, Missed that somehow.
Selecting accounts with a account with children was unable to include that
in the report.  so moved it to the parent & then I get it OK.
Perhaps it is not possible to choose both?
Still working on things but things are lookingup, thanks.

Chuck,

A parent account, e.g., Expenses will have a small triangle at the left end.
Click that and all the sub-accounts are displayed.

Please keep the thread on the mail list so others can learn, too.

[GNC] Moving to Linux

[Stephen C. Camidge]

I am moving my data from Mac OS to Linux Manjaro.

I copied over the datafile, no problem.

How do I copy over my Saved Reports?

Also, since the Mac creates invisible '._*' files for each datafile, is there a 
Linux terminal command I can issue to get rid of all of them?

Thank you,
Steve

I believe the default version of gnucash that ships with Ubuntu 20.04LTS is 
3.8, so I assume you are installing the flatpak version instead.

Flatpaks are sandboxed and may not have the proper permissions to see all 
external locations by default.

You can try to start gnucash from the command line using this command:
flatpak run --filesystem=host org.gnucash.GnuCash

Regards,

Geert
