Hi, I don't see a make install step in your instructions. As far as I know charts will not render when running gnucash from the build directory. I don't remember exactly why this goes wrong, but when you look at the generated html source you'll notice the path the javascript is missing when

The lost preferences is a known issue: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798194 Unfortunately it's unlikely an issue we can fix easily. Luckily it only happens once, the first time you install or upgrade to a gnucash flatpak version 4.5 or above. You can choose to either set your

Hi Marcus, For flatpak, that file should go into $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/gnucash (as per https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/ Configuration_Locations#In_GNC_CONFIG_HOME ) Note though that you will probably have to update your css file to work with gnucash 4.5. Most of the

It's very likely it's something to do with Ubuntu. As I understand it while Ubuntu is gnome based, they use their own theme (Yaroo?). It's very likely that theme does something that's not compatible with the dropdown GnuCash uses for accounts in the register code. But to be fair, I could also

Hi Michael, That should work. There is one pitfall with the way saved report configurations are handled in gnucash, but that is in general and not specific to your situation: saved rerport configurations are shared by all your books even though their configuration details may only make

The error messages all indicate some required libraries are missing on your system; required in the sense that gnucash can't run without those. So what happened on 1/23 that changed this ? Did you perform a system update that removed a number of libraries, did gnucash get updated at that time ?
