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
LibreOffice now by default uses the system dialogs for file and print but
retained the option to use LO versions. Yes, GIMP is still in transition. They
have opined they might even skip 3 and target GTK+4.

For some reason I had some difficulty finding this bug, in case anyone else
has this problem it is at
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796789

Additional information. The GTK FileChooser dialog has a "local-only"
property which by default is true and has setters and getters to access
it.(https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-uris)
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.

John,
I'm not really sure what GIMP uses as a UI toolkit. I showed the Libre-
Office one primarily because on my system it was almost identical in
appearance and function to the dialog window from Gnucash apart from
the missing USB mount and network mounts. I have explored a few other
(non GTK)

David,
LibreOffice has it's own GUI toolkit; it can wrap Gtk or Qt or it can use its
own dialogs. Are you sure that GIMP is on Gtk3? I thought that they were still
working on converting.

Hi John,
Have posted it as Bug 796789 for V3.2. Other users with other OS and GnuCash
versions might like to comment on behavior on their systems which may help
with tracking down the problem. Not sure whether it is a bug in Ubuntu and
derivatives but Libre Office, GIMP with similar dialogs all
You were running it on a remote machine? Why wouldn’t you always run it locally
and just connect to the network drive? (as you just experimented with)
Though, this would mean the problem is with Windows, not Ubuntu as you weren’t
originally running it on Ubuntu.

Adrien

Interesting! when running GnuCash locally in the Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop
the network drive does appear in the GnuCash File>Open dialog, but when
running it remotely in Windows with XMing/PuTTY via SSH the network drive
is not visible in the GnuCash File>Open dialog.

That is 2.6.19 of course.

Yes, a bug, but perhaps in Ubuntu and its derivatives rather than GnuCash, or
perhaps the Ubuntu package. Using a Debian Stable VM in the GnuCash File>Open
dialog, when I select "Computer" from "Other Locations" I get a full listing of
my root directory and have no trouble navigating the /media
If I recall, there was an issue unique to another O S, possibly Windows
that required special treatment in the past. Maybe still true.
I am not a developer tho so don't quote me.

Yep, a bug for sure. I’m curious why GC creates its own file/print dialogs when
they could instead call the native OS dialogs. To me, that’s the bug and the
problem in this thread would also be solved. It’s also less code to maintain.

Adrien, David,
The same issue occurs in Linux Mint 19(Tara) which is Ubuntu 18.04 based.
Nemo (file explorer) can see the mounted USB stick and access it directly
or via the /media// mount point for the device but the Gnucash file
open dialog neither sees the USB stick or /media// mount point
As Mint is based on Ubuntu you *might* be facing the read-only usb bug. (which
seems to keep reappearing after being allegedly fixed) What are the permissions
on the parent folder for the mount point of the drive? And then the same for
the gnucash folder and files? (I’m looking for either
I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 16.04 with release 2.6.17 from some
repo. I can open that instance of GnuCash remotely from Windows 7 via SSH
and if Ubuntu is already running with the file server where the data
resides already mounted, everything works.
If I want to change to a different data
Gave it a try. Can open the file, but only as read-only and it will not
save back to the original location. Creates a temporary directory
\run\users\doc\1a36500 and puts files there. the files disappear when
GNUcash is closed. Have full access to read & write to the source directory
when not in
Don,
Presumably you already checked if the drives are visible where you expect using
Caja?
If so, can you navigate to the usb/external and open the file from there?

Running on Linux Mint 18.3 Mate, open file will not provide access to usb
external drives or smb dirves. Will open on local PC drives. When bringing
up file system there is no media folder where I would normally expect to
find the usb external drives or smb drives.
Any help would be appreciated,
