Unfortunately, when it comes to using bundled software with various Linux distros that are out there, they are limited on resources so they normally consider applications like GNC as fringe thing to their core offering so that is the last thing that gets traction if any. I am afraid I do not know any repo that would allow you to install it in such manner in Ubuntu Studio. If there is anyone that knows of such facility then you are in the best forum where they will speak up and let you know.
Installing flatpak version is not that difficult (I used to compile things ground up on UNIX/Linux systems many many moons ago). I am most likely outnumbered here in this forum as I am on Windows platform but core of the folks here use it on some form of Linux distro so there is better bet that if you run into some sort of issue with flatpak, someone will be able to help here overcome it. There were few important bugs, IMHO at least, that were fixed by the team in 4.11 that were observed in 4.8 GNC that are applicable to brokerage related transactions. If you are a bit brave, you may want to attempt to install Wine (https://wine.htmlvalidator.com/install-wine-on-ubuntustudio-20.04.html) which can be done via repos and then install Windows version of GNC through it. Be prepared that you may get terrible performance with this method. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:46:32 +0200 From: "rsbrux" <rsb...@yahoo.com> To: <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAuAAAAAAAAAExfBJ/fSBxAqM7oRtz1TdsBAMO2jhD3dRHOtM0AqgC7tuYAAAAA AA4AABAAAAAcinzSEw2MQoyvKi2/8LT9AQAAAAA=@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Thanks Kalpesh, My problem is that the Ubuntu Studio 22.04 repositories only have GC 4.8, and I don't feel competent to install a Flatpak. Is there a repository I can add to my Software Sources to install later GC versions? If not, how about a snap? I would feel more comfortable with that than with a Flatpak, because snap is already baked in to Ubuntu Studio 22.04. -----Original Message----- From: Kalpesh Patel <kalpesh.pa...@usa.net> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2022 10:45 PM To: rsb...@yahoo.com Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" 4.11 is the current official release so it won't hurt to go to that version instead of 4.8. I use compressed XML version of file running on Windows 11 and frankly speaking I never had to revert back to previous version of data file for being corrupt. This history goes back to since 3.x version days. I do reconcile my accounts, including brokerage, on 6 to 7 month cycles and have found to match transactions downloaded so corruption is least of worries with GNC. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 16:25:23 +0200 From: "rsbrux" <rsb...@yahoo.com> To: <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAuAAAAAAAAAExfBJ/fSBxAqM7oRtz1TdsBAMO2jhD3dRHOtM0AqgC7tuYAAAAA AA4AABAAAABBvYEW7g9HQ7E0pYiHgEnrAQAAAAA=@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Many thanks to all who have offered help and advice. The following evidence strongly suggests a memory management problem to me: 1. I was able to perform "Check & Repair" on all accounts and subaccounts by dividing them up into smaller groups, saving, exiting and restarting GC in between. 2. If I tried to "Check & Repair" too much at once, GUI response would slow dramatically and GC would forget how to do things it had already done successful in the same session, e.g. saving, which, when attempted, produced messages like: >> * 22:08:34 WARN <gnc.gui> [gnc_builder_connect_full_func()] ggaff: could not find signal handler 'gnc_ui_file_access_response_cb'. << I now have what I think is a working and fully checked file in GC 3.11 for Windows and will now try upgrading it to 4.8 in Ubuntu Studio. My file does include Trading accounts, so Kalpesh's suspicions may be right. However, this raises the question of whether I need a newer version than 4.8 in Ubuntu Studio. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
