As the description in the bug is fairly long and technical, I'll repeat the workaround steps here: The migration is actually fairly easy to do manually. It involves these steps: * if you care about current sandbox settings, move $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile to some place safe * run dconf dump /org/gnucash/ > \ $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile * run perl -pi.bkp -e's!^[[]![org/gnucash/!' \ $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile The long commands are split in two lines. You can either copy them as presented here (with the backslash and newlines included) or you can put each command on a single line, but then you have to remove the backslash character from the command.
