Good Morning
Short report:
It's now all working and, for those who have been following a different
thread to do with European share prices not appearing in the Price
Editor window, European share prices are now appearing in the Price
Editor window - John (Ralls) was right, the problem is solved with 3.5.
Slightly longer report:
I was the main reason why it didn't work last night, I was using a
version of Stephen's files that I downloaded prior to my upgrading to
19.04 (which, I assume, were for 18.04) and not the more recent ones. I
saw Stephen's note of this morning, downloaded the new versions and ran
all three of the commands and - everything worked. So now I can go and
spend some money!
Only peripherally related: On the Google drive that Stephen used there's
a not-exactly-clear feature. Clicking on Stephen's link brings up a
screen with two boxes (marked Disco and Trusty), exactly where you click
in those boxes determines what happens, if you click on the folder icon
(which changes to the common symbol for download) you get a zipped file
containing all three of the necessary files, clicking on the text takes
you to another page from which you can download files individually.
As always, my thanks to everybody for their time and help.
Take care
Eric

If you select and download all three files in one go then Dropbox zips
them up. If you download them one at a time it keeps them as
individual files and saves the effort of unzipping them.

Colin, Ronal
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
It's possible/probable that I used the wrong files. In my Download
folder I had a directory gnucash_3.5 and a zipped file (which, to be
honest I didn't notice until Colin's note prompted a careful looking) I
never use the underscore convention (on files/directories I create - for
reasons that are so petty it's embarrassing to share them) so I assumed
that was the result of downloading Stephen's file and it is those files
I used.
Idiot me person! A phrase popular in our family through my wife's use of it.
I've just unzipped the zip file and compared the resulting files with
those in the gnucash_3.5 directory. The ones from the zip file all have
a modified date of "yesterday", those from the gnucash_3.5 directory
have a modified date of 16th April. As Stephen's note suggests that he
has just created the "correct" files I'm going to assume that I should
have used the files from the zipped file.
But I'm going to do that tomorrow - it's getting late and I have a
(phone) date with my daughter now. I'll report back tomorrow.
Best wishes
Eric

Did you make sure there were no other similar files already in the
folder you downloaded to and that you downloaded the correct files?

Although I???m about to relate some problems I???ve had with your GnuCash
3.5 on Ubuntu 19.04 before I do I want to say that I appreciate your
efforts (and those of your ???hand holders???!) on providing tools to the
community. Sincerely, thank you.
My situation is that I upgraded to 19.04 just two or three weeks ago and
I don???t think I???ve done anything of such significance as to screw up the
system. I was running GnuCash 3.4 (the default in 19.04) but hit
problems (discussed elsewhere). Your solution seemed to be a gift from
heaven.
The first two Terminal commands (which with the third, I think, need to
be run in the Downloads/gnucash_3.5 folder) ran with no problems but the
third gave the following output:
/eric@Magus-4:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.5$ sudo apt install ./*3.5*.deb/

/eric@Magus-4:~/Downloads/gnucash_3.5$ /
Although my wife would probably disagree, I???m reasonably good at
following instructions but those error messages left me somewhat
baffled. I???ve done some investigations using Synaptic with the following
results:
?????? There appears to be no libicu60 available, but libicu63 (version
63.1-6) is installed
?????? There appears to be no libpython3.6 available, but libpython3.7
(version 3.7.3-2) is installed
?????? gnucash-docs is installed (as version 3.4-1)
?????? A search for libpythone3-gnucash (and libpython3-gnucash) give no
results
?????? python3 (at version 3.7.3-1) is installed
?????? Selecting ???Custom Filters??? and the ???Broken??? category shows no
entries
To my untutored eyes, it looks as if my system is too ???advanced??? - but
what do I know.
Can you indicate how I may proceed - without my GnuCash I can???t spend
any money!
Best wishes
Eric
