Hi, it looks like you lost your settings while switching to your self-built gnucash. There can be many reasons for this: - You have only ever run gnucash from flatpak and are now switching to a self-built gnucash for the first time. That would be expected behaviour (outside of gnucash control). Think of flatpak as running completely independent from your host system. So the host doesn't see anything from what happens in flatpak land. - You have or had a previous version of gnucash installed (pre-4.7), that version is still around and the search paths for settings (GSettings to be precise) are such that the settings configuration of the old version is preferred over the new one. - You had previously built gnucash verion 4.6 or older and did not uninstall that version prior to installing your freshly built gnucash 4.8+ - ... other situations we haven't come across yet. There is no easy solution for the first situation. That's like migrating from one PC to another. The wiki has some details on how to export and import preferences if you really want to do so. For the other two it's a matter of figuring out which older gnucash is interfering with your current one.
