I think that David Cousens is closing in on the problem. I have seen that GnuCash 2.6.17 in Ubuntu 16.04 cannot always see network mounted servers, but on my LAN it appears that it is important to assign the correct domain name when mounting the server with Nautilus. David Carlson On Fri, Jul

Hugh, Going back to your profit of £20.99. Does the Trial Balance report identify it as an unrealized gain? Have you tried running the Trial Balance report for earlier dates to establish the date when it appeared? That should help you find the transaction and thus the problem that caused it.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn’t referring so much to syslog facility (my poor word choice) but to the /var/log, ~/Library/Logs, %AppData% locations for storing them. So if I get this right, they’re just for replaying from last crash, which of course would be after the last open, so

You could also create a log directory wherever you store the account book and then periodically dump them in it just to declutter. But then if you set a log TTL GC probably won’t see them to remove the old ones. Personally, I’d prefer if GC used the OS log facilities than the present ‘one big
