Geert ~
Thanks for responding!
That may be true for a Flatpak installation, but mine is what GNC calls
"pristine," and I've found the documents at
- file:///usr/share/doc/gnucash-docs/gnucash-guide-en/index.html
- file:///usr/share/doc/gnucash-docs/gnucash-help-en/help.html

Hi Phil,
Regarding the documentation, it seems like Ubuntu 22.04.1 ships a newer help
viewer that's
not compatible with where GnuCash stores its guide and manual on disk. This has
been fixed
for the future GnuCash 5.0 but not for the current 4.x series.
As temporary workarounds you could either
- browse the documentation online (via the gnucash website) or
- load the documentation from the command line using one of these commands
yelp /usr/share/gnome/help/C/gnucash-guide/gnucash-guide.xml
yelp /usr/share/gnome/help/C/gnucash-help/gnucash-help.xml

Phil,
The installation of the GnuCash help and Tutorial and concepts guide is a
separate download and installation from the installation of the program and
is available under a separate link in the panels on the left on the GNuCash
webpage i.e. https://gnucash.org/docs.phtml . They should also be able to
be installed from Ubuntu's package manager. Not sure about the scheduled
transactions - I would expect them to be stored in the book but they may be
stored in the user preference information. This wiki
page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations has information
on where they are stored and you may need to copy them from a backup of
your old system.

I was running Ubuntu 20.04.4 and whatever GnuCash version was available
in that release, and all was well. Then, around the middle of August
when 22.04.1 became available, I upgraded and GnuCash was updated to
4.8a. Clicking the desktop icon, which used to present my database
page, now opens a largely empty window titled "Unsaved Book - GnuCash."
Selecting Tutorial or Contents in the Help menu either does nothing
visible or pops up a window saying, "Document Not Found. The URI
‘[1]ghelp:gnucash-guide’ does not point to a valid page." I eventually
determined that I could access my data by selecting the "File/Open…"
menu item and navigating to the data file in the .gnucash folder of my
home directory. Although sub-optimal, this worked for me until
September 1 arrived and none of my first-of-the-month scheduled
transactions were posted. This suggests that something vital that
needed to happen during the move from the older version of GnuCash to
4.8a ... didn't. Anyone have any ideas? Any help will be greatly
appreciated!
