David,

It's not always that particular string; it depends on what type the financial 
institution tags the transaction with. For example when I pulled in my credit 
card this morning the descriptions all began with "Generic debit;".

This new misbehavior happens only with AQBanking, which doesn't and hasn't ever 
populate the Notes field. The OFX/QFX file importer inserts the "OFX ext. info" 
string into the Notes field.

I have not tried it with other transactions.  It is happening with the same
transaction, but I created it several times and with different versions.  I
also completely uninstalled and reinstalled software.

Re: "Point of sale debit or credit (Note: Depends on signage of amount)" appended to transactions in 2.6.17

[David Carlson]

Sorry, I am confused about field names.  Is that new message in the
description field instead of the current data or is it actually in the
Notes field where the previous message was prepended to the FI note?

It's a new feature [1] that was supposed to apply only to HBCI, so there's an 
option to enable it on the HBCI import dialog but not the OFX one where it's 
enabled by default.

GnuCash not working

[David Axtell]

TWIMC,

I just downloaded GnuCash from the Ubuntu Software site. When I start it up
all I get is a blank screen with "Cancel" and "Save" in the upper left
corner. Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks, Dave Axtell

What version of GnuCash and what OS/Distro and version?

Does this happen with every report or have you tried only one so far? Does the 
error message display in a dialog box or in the report tab?

Please attach a trace file [1] from a session after encountering the error.

I'm not able to replicate this. Does it happen when you reuse any transaction 
or just a particular one?

Thanks for the quick response.

When I type in the first couple of letters in the payee field, the full
name is auto-populated.  I then hit the tab key to have the full
transaction populate with the most recent values.  Gnucash crashes right
here.  When I restart the program, I can sometimes (2.6.16) get the
transaction to work one time, but 2.6.17 doesn't give me even that before
it crashes again.

2.6.15 didn't seem to have this problem for me.

Frank

Error opening file: No such file or directory

[Heather Stevens]

Good Afternoon,
I have just started using Gnu cash. I have created my acounts Hierachy and
filled in all my opening balances.  This all looks good but I cannot run
the reports.  I get *Error opening file: No such file or directory*error.
What have Idone wrong
