It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that

There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up 
somebody not paying close enough attention. The correct command is

    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and 
aren't using Flatpak, say

    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment 
some other way.


Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely 
independent of GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash 
releases as early as 4.4. Also, while there is a known issue with 
Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by Nvidia Linux driver 
535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that packagers can screw 
up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration regardless of 
GPU brand.


All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk 
package so thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. 
There's a systemd journal crash on 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can use to 
recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still 
manifest in other distros.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, there is an issue rendering reports in

The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables 
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for 
you by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:


WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpakrun org.gnucash.GnuCash

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.  I have no 
idea how to do that in Linux Mint however.

Hi,

Does this mean I should go ahead with another enhancement request?

Cheers,

Thank you for finding bug report #797816. I was not correcting the bug 
report, I was making it easier to find.


A couple of days ago, in response to your list posts, I searched the bug 
database using terms like "document root". I did not find #797816. So, 
my comment had the effect of adding the term "document root" to the bug 
report. Now it will be discovered to those searching for the term you 
used in your messages to the gnucash-user.


I think it is better to keep our attention on #797816, rather than 
creating a new bug report. It is fine to post updates and new 
information to an old bug report on behaviour which is still broken.

[GNC] USAA OFX Direct Connect stopped working

[John Haiducek]

Downloading transactions from USAA accounts stopped working for me today.
In the past I've been able to restore access by following the instructions
at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings#USAA and
getting an accessid from http://usaa.com/accessid or
https://df3cx-services.1fsapi.com/casm/usaa/enroll. However, now both of
those websites redirect to a page that returns the following in JSON:

{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "Validation error"
}

Does anyone know a workaround for this? Is there an updated URL I can use?

Re: [GNC] Nice to Have?

[David H]

I always get all my Scheduled Transactions showing up in the dialog.  I
always check "Create automatically" and "Notify me when created" on and
also set "Create in advance" to 60 days so I can tell at a glance what my
upcoming cashflow looks like.  So I might have 20 or so txns listed but
only 1 or 2 will have the "created" notation, then when I click OK a new
"Created" register tab opens with only the txns that were actually created
listed in it.  It's pretty obvious which txns were actually created and I
think from memory you can click the Status header to group them all
together at top or bottom.  It used to annoy me seeing them all but I've
just gotten used to it now and ignore the list of txns and just click ok
which opens the register tab that only lists the created txns anyway :-)

I've always assumed the OK / Cancel buttons on the dialog only relate to
any fields you can change on the dialog which appears limited to the Show
Created txns checkbox - i.e. turning off or on the option for future use ???

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Wrong Total(Period)

[Fred Tydeman]

All of the (sub)accounts have either
  no transactions
  no transactions in 2023
So, for 2023, they all should be zero.
Doing an Income report for those gets zero.

No Stan, they aren't talking about not showing them at all, but rather 
showing those not due to fire or due to be reminded, for that same day, 
in the Since Last Run (SLR) dialog.


See the screenshot Grace posted. This isn't the editor, this is the SLR

I have run Check & Repair All (which runs for about 10 minutes).
Still have the wrongTotal(Period) value.

Trying on a different system:

GnuCash: 5.4; build ID 5.3-412
Still have the Total(Period) showing a value, yet all of the

I've _never_ had that happen. When I fire up GC for the first time of

Re: [GNC] Monthly Expense summary Report

[Adrien Monteleone]

It works the same on MacOS (with CMD).

If you only want Income & Expenses, click Clear All.

Then collapse the tree completely so you can see the main accounts.

Select Expenses and click Select Children

Holding Ctrl/Cmd, Select Income and again (still holding Ctrl/Cmd) click 
Select Children.


If you then release Ctrl/Cmd and click Apply, you should see your report 
update accordingly as desired. You can also control the depth of 
accounts shown.

But setting it back, and re-running the SLR, now all Enabled SX are 
listed (below the Reminders unlike Grace's screenshot) and I can't seem 
to make them go away and get back to the original behavior.

If I set a window or untick the option entirely, they don't show up.

If there are none for the day, I get that notice instead of a list.

If you have the txn set to "create automatically" then it has already 
been created by the time the Since-Last-Run display is produced. You can 
see it is marked "Created". "Cancel" won't change that, it's too late.

If you don't want that to happen then uncheck "create automatically". 
Then you'll get a chance to decide what you want to do with it, and 
"cancel" does what you appear to want.

I take it back. There are global preferences under Preferences > 
Scheduled Transactions but as far as I can tell, the auto-create and 
notify window periods are only for 'new' SX as defaults.


You can still individually change these.

Re: [GNC] Nice to Have?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yes, that is called the Since Last Run dialog. You can also fire it 
manually under the Actions > Scheduled Transactions menu item.


I just tested it on 5.4 and the behavior for me has not changed. If I 
untick the box to remind me, and there are no SX for today, instead of 
the list, I get a notice that there are none with an 'OK' button to 
dismiss the dialog.


I never see a list with all of my SX shown. Only those that are set to 
remind and/or auto-create or due to be created show up.


And as for the 'cancel' button creating them anyway, I do not observe 
that behavior *unless* that SX has been set to 'auto-create', and as you 
should observe, for those the Since Last Run shows 'created' for those 
SX. (and 'reminder' for those not yet fired)

If I'm not mistaken, that is part of the setting for each Scheduled

If you would only want same-day, I'm hazarding a guess that "0" days would 
work. If that doesn't, try "1" day.

I don't think this is configurable for all transactions together. It is a

Re: [GNC] Nice to Have?

Don't hold your breath, but I believe the default behavior of the Since
Last Run assistant will change with the next GnuCash update in a few days
to be more user friendly.

The comments from others about the various settings being confusing may
still apply afterward, but there should be less clutter from SX"s that are
not doing anything today.

Re: [GNC] Linux Mint version of Gnucash 5.4 Stopped Generating Reports

[Charlie Morrison]

Thanks John for explaining what is causing the issue.

Not sure why the space between "flatpak" and "run" disappeared on my 
email that went to the list.  The space is there on my sent copy???


I'm using Manjaro Linux and the current Nvidia driver is 470.223.02-27.  
I think there are too many issues in the 535 version for them to get it 
into stable yet.  Once the Nvidia driver is updated to the 535 version I 
will check to see if I still need to use the 
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 fix.


Thanks, Charlie

On 12/14/23 10:58, john wrote:
It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that 
GnuCash can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using 
the GPU with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.


There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up 
somebody not paying close enough attention. The correct command is

    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and 
aren't using Flatpak, say

    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment 
some other way.


Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely 
independent of GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash 
releases as early as 4.4. Also, while there is a known issue with 
Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by Nvidia Linux driver 
535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that packagers can screw 
up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration regardless of 
GPU brand.


All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk 
package so thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. 
There's a systemd journal crash on 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can use to 
recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still 
manifest in other distros.

John Ralls

The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables 
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for 
you by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:


WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpakrun org.gnucash.GnuCash

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.  I have no 
idea how to do that in Linux Mint however.

It is indeed on a case-by-case basis. However, when you create a new
scheduled transaction, "Create ___ days in advance" and "Remind ___ days
in advance" are both unchecked (unticked), so that the transaction is
not created before its assigned date, and there's no advance reminder.

I suppose it's possible to tick either or both boxes and leave the
number of days at zero, the default, but since they're not ticked by
default it seems simpler to leave them unticked.

It seems to be requesting the same thing.  From this request and the email

What would it take to make this happen?

The "Since Last Run" dialog is what you want -- it will display all the
SXes that are being processed "today".

Re: [GNC] Linux Mint version of Gnucash 5.4 Stopped Generating Reports

[john]

It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that GnuCash 
can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using the GPU with 
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.

There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up somebody not 
paying close enough attention. The correct command is
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and aren't using 
Flatpak, say
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment some other 
way.

Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely independent of 
GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash releases as early as 4.4. 
Also, while there is a known issue with Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by 
Nvidia Linux driver 535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that 
packagers can screw up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration 
regardless of GPU brand.

All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk package so 
thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. There's a systemd 
journal crash on https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can 
use to recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still 
manifest in other distros.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Monthly Expense summary Report

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Transaction Report can group by period with subtotals and totals. 
That is a listing of each transaction though. You can likely reduce 
detail, but there should be a summary table you can turn on which might 
get you close.


Also take a look at the Budget Report multi-period feature. If you don't 
want the actual budget features, you can still use the report to show 
actual expenses. This report presents a column for each period by 
account. You also get a YTD total column if you want it, and can 
collapse previous/future periods from the one you want to focus on.

Adrien

For example, In this report I could see how much I spent on

I don't desire to have each transaction for those months, just the

Re: [GNC] Nice to Have?

[Adrien Monteleone]

If I'm not mistaken, that is part of the setting for each Scheduled 
Transaction. You set how many days in advance you want it to remind you. 
If you would only want same-day, I'm hazarding a guess that "0" days 
would work. If that doesn't, try "1" day.


I don't think this is configurable for all transactions together. It is 
a case-by-case basis.

It's one of several problems with packaging recent releases of WebKitGtk. To 
work around it run gnucash from the terminal app with
   WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash

You might also file a bug with the distro to encourage them to fix their 
webkitgtk package.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] How to change date of balance on register?

[Alan Johnson via gnucash-user]

Thanks.  The Current / Current USD is what I was looking for (balance
as of today).  Playing around, I see a total (period) which shows a
negative balance but the account isn't actually negative. It looks like
it is showing the delta from the start of the 'period' - which I take
to be the start of calendar year, to today, something like a statement
of cash flows.  It would be nice of one of those options was
customizeable - say 30 or 60 days or a chosen date out.

Re: [GNC] Linux Mint version of Gnucash 5.4 Stopped Generating Reports

[Charlie Morrison]

If you have an Nvidia GPU, there is an issue rendering reports in 
Linux.  There is a bug report discussing it and it may be fixed for the 
next release but I'm not sure about that.  The report information is 
there but you can't see it.


The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables 
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for you 
by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:


WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpakrun org.gnucash.GnuCash

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.  I have no 
idea how to do that in Linux Mint however.

Ohhh! I found it: Go to the Accounts Receivable ledger and find the

Delete it. Return to the Invoice and click "Pay" and record a payment
