Jack,
You've heard it twice, and I'll repeat myself: go read at least the Basics
section of the Tutorial.
It covers LITERALLY every issue you've raised thus far.
Once you've read those chapters, I think you'll be clearer about Gnucash and
its use.

I was having the same problem, here's what I did to get alphavantage to show
up in the source list:
Uncheck "Get Online Quotes" for all of the securities, then restart GnuCash.
Go back to the Security Editor and alphavantage should now show up.
Hopefully it works for everyone having this
I've been able to obtain quotes from the Treasury Direct (treasurydirect.gov)

Jeff,
It’s also called the same in English.
It might have various names for different industries.
I’ve seen ‘Activity/Cost/Profit Center’ accounting as an alternative.
I’ve done some research on this method of P presentation and I think I prefer
it to the traditional approach.
It will

Excellent. Happy endings are good :) FWIW, I have java-1_8_0-openjdk
(and the plugin) installed in 42.3 on multiple machines and gnucash
runs fine including reports. But I do NOT have java-1_7_0-openjdk (or
the plugin) installed on any of those machines. My desktops are XFCE
and LXDE(gtk)

There’s no discount. Now or in the future. You’re going to buy items from that
merchant in the future at their then current price, not less than that price.
There’s no rebate. You aren’t paying full price and getting money back.
You handed the merchant $430.
They handed you back $500.
I think I'm getting that understanding a little bit. Thanks!

That's actually where I started this journey :-) I upgraded from OpenSuSE LEAP 42.2 to

to start gnucash it crashed per my original message. Then I tried the GNOME repo 2.6.18

Hello Dan.
The gnome repository is not part of the "official release" distro for
42.3. You could try this, nothing to lose except maybe some time:
Uninstall the 2.6.16-98.1 version. Uninstall any other version of
GnuCash you currently have installed, regardless of where you got it
from. Now
Hi Jack,
I'm also a convert about a year ago to GNUCash. They are *all* real
accounts. But if you are like me, your institutional accounts are not
really in expenses where most of the category accounts lie. I have my
traditional bank accounts in Assets (as well as brokerage accounts, home
Thanks for the feedback!
I'll get to that and read thru. Then if I am a typical Quicken fool I'll be
back for more direction!
I'm wondering then if there is a way to designate the "real" accounts in
the massive Account Listing so i can see/sort or make those stand out from
the "non-real"
It's out of the GNOME repository on opensuse.org:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/
For me, both versions crash when I try to run a report from my primary data file

Welcome to Gnucash, and welcome to this list.
Before you tinker with the account structure in Gnucash, I strongly recommend
that you read the Basics section in the Tutorial & Concepts Guide (available on

I dropped Quicken finally and have been trying GC for a few days. So far it

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.
GnuCash 2.6 uses an obsolete version of the WebKit library that hasn’t been
updated in several years. It shouldn’t be used for anything besides GnuCash
because it has a huge number of known exploits that have been fixed in the
current WebKit2.

The crash appears to be a webkit problem that’s triggered by a report you left
open when you quit GnuCash the last time you were using the data. If you remove
the .gcm file in ~/.gnucash/books corresponding to the file that’s causing
trouble GnuCash will open it with only the Accounts tab open.
David,
Now that you mention it, indeed :blush:
There were two elements I wanted to bring up:
- perhaps the starting balance was entered backwards (due to starting from the
Equity account instead of the bank account)
- and I wanted to stress the fact the starting balance should be ignored in
Geert,
That's a nice summary. It's a lot like what is in section 4.4 of the tutorial.

Additional info - if I open the previous "save" file, it opens normally :-((
Is there any way to test the gnucash data file WITHOUT opening it in gnucash?
Thanks!

Looks like changing back to en_GB has solved it. Don't need to have commas!
Thing is I never changed it to FR in the first place!

I upgraded OpenSuSE (just a point release), but kept gnucash at the same version. This is
part of the distro - it's gnucash 2.6.16-98.1.

You can request an account and add a summary of this yourself. It would be a
great contribution.
