That message is usually indicating you have the file saved in a database

one of those formats, this could be the cause. If not, then someone else

There are known issues with reports on Windows with version 5.5.
To get reports working again, roll back to v5.4. However, that version
on Windows leaves an extra running process when you quit GnuCash. You
can either just safely quit that process if it bothers you, or leave it
be. (not sure
Glad it worked John!
Enjoy!!

I am using the latest version:
*Version: 5.5
Build ID: 5.5+(2023-12-16)*
When I try to run a report from your software "Reports", the system
shuts down and when I restart I get this message:
*Could not obtain the lock for C:\users\documents\glossgnucash.
Received message "No suitable backend was found for {file
path\filename.gnucash}. Have been using Gnucash and this file for years.
Suddenly, I get the no suitable backend message, and I am not able to open
the file. Would really appreciate any guidance to restore this file! Thx!

I am using GnuCash on Fed38 too. I seem to remember when I installed it via
the Software Centre it didn't install properly (ie some dependencies were
missing) so I uninstalled, updated all and reinstalled via CLI and it runs
like a dream. Maybe do what I did? Hope that is of some help

This is bug 799093, and John Ralls has not asked additional questions after I
was able to reliably reproduce (part of) the issue, so, hopefully, there is
sufficient information to find the bug.

I upgraded a bunch of packages using the PackageKit GUI and offline update,
and gnucash was one of them. Software Center indicated that the system was
fully updated afterward.

Correct, it would say something like that.
Now, it could be that there is a sub-library missing. I.e. this library
looks for libfoo.so (which it finds), but libfoo.so depends on libbar.so,
and THAT is missing. ldd would not show that.
So, question for you: did you do a full system update, or
Here's the output from ldd. IIRC, missing dependencies would show up here
as something like "=> Not found". It looks like everything here points to a
specific file.
$ ldd /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-expressions-guile.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffe3cf5a000)
libgnc-expressions.so =>
Run:
ldd /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-expressions-guile.so
And see if perhaps it is missing a dependency?

This is probably a silly question, but does the .so file have permissions
that let it be read by your account? And/or what about the
containing directory?

After upgrading to gnucash 5.5 on Fedora 38 (using the rpm package for
gnucash from the Fedora repos), I get the following error trying to start
gnucash:
$ gnucash

Must be a bit frustrating for new windows users of Gnucash when 5.5 is still
listed as the default "stable" version for Windows but the reporting is so
broken.
Just be aware of a different problem with 5.4.1 stable - that one leaves
phantom processes running in Windows that will keep the
16 matches
