Re: [GNC] Cannot create Budget

I found the solution, looking at some closed bug reports. With the budget screen open, I needed to correct the filter settings. View -> Filter By -> Other Tab and select Show Unused Accounts This solved my problem. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully this helps someone else too. > On Jul 29,

Re: [GNC] Post invoice still wants to be paid

David One possibility is that if you unposted the invoice at some point after having paid it and then reposted it, it may be that the link between the payment and the invoice has been broken by that action. There is also the law of conservation of invoices whereby they can only be created and

Mike, I think this is the same issue discussed in this thread https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-July/077885.html A quick look at the gnucash bugzilla doesn't look like this is an officially filed bug I'm running 2.6.19 on Ubuntu so don't have the

Re: [GNC] Stuck between versions

Thanks Marc, I'll see if I can spot any problems. It helps to get feedback as we all have systems with different sets of software and libraries installed and widely varying levels of linux expertise, so instructions which make sense to an experienced developer can be gobbledegook to a novice. I

Please remember to copy the list on all replies. Others may have insights and suggestions for solving your problem. The log files aren't what you want. The file you need would be named ---.gnucash. At every save GnuCash renamed the old file .gnucash.MMDDHHMMSS.gnucash, where

Re: [GNC] Stuck between versions

John, David, Thank you both for your quick responses and suggestions. It indeed turns out that the file created by the Export function on the phone version is a compressed file. What threw me off was the fact that the file's extension is simply .qif. Not having played with this in the last 8

Re: [GNC] Stuck between versions

Marc, QIF is an ASCCI formatted text file. It's format is described in a Wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Fo rmat. It can be edited in a text editor (gedit,xed etc). I would first check the format of your import file out for missing sysntax like missing header

Just an update. I have been converting from LM18.3 to LM 19 on my desktop and didn't have it setup for building GnuCash for the past week which is why I was using the flatpack version. I've just completed building GnuCash 3.2 from sources in LM 19 with all the options and I now see USB sticks
