Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

Pandemonium, if your directing your comment to me, I do not work for Canonical, I am a volunteer! Despite this, bugging is a two way street, not, "Set it and forget it". If one creates a bug, they should be prepared to be held accountable to working it out together. If one does not want this, they should be prepared to not have their bug addressed in a timely manner, let alone fixed unless it is a critical bug, which this is not due to alternative packages providing the feature bugged about. :D Marking incomplete until remote bug is created and linked. ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gcalctool in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474555 Title: Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 474555] Re: Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value
Sorry, but you've made the friction to find a resolution a bit too great for your customers. At some point Canonical needs to own the problem of bugs that their users are filing. If additional ticket need to be filed, go right ahead. I reported this bug over a year ago and have tried to provide help and information until now, but I no longer have a personal need for the proper functionality of this feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gcalctool in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474555 Title: Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 474555] Re: Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value
After testing in 10.10 RC, I can confirm that it is still not correctly calculating double-declining depreciation. The calculator's UI has changed, and something about the change has stopped it from presenting the error message; however, the calculation is still not performed correctly. As per my original post, there is no prompt for Salvage. Entering the other three values always calculates to a result of zero, which is obviously incorrect. A google search turns up several good sources for information regarding calculating double-declining depreciation. A few examples: http://accountinginfo.com/study/dep/depreciation-01.htm http://www.ehow.com/how_5098205_calculate-double-declining-depreciation.html http://www.investopedia.com/articles/06/depreciation.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depreciation#Declining-balance_method_.28or_Reducing_balance_method.29 http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/incomestatementanalysis/a/double-declining-balance-depreciation-method.htm Here is a web-based calculator that computes double-declining depreciation. You can see that it needs four input values to do it correctly. This one also prompts for a fifth value, months in a year. Obviously, it's fine for the calculator to assume 12 months, thus necessitating only four prompts. http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/financial/depreciation-declining-double.php -- Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gcalctool in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Pandemonium, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. 3 boxes and no. After reviewing yelp I am very unfamiliar with the financial significance of Dbg could you please provide a primary resource? As well, the issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .

[Bug 474555] Re: Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value
In Maverick, after clicking Dbd does it present you with three entry boxes or four? Is there a place to enter a Salvage value? The problem wasn't the error message, but the lack of a prompt for a Salvage value. In order to calculate double-declining depreciation, four values are necessary. The absence of the error message shows that something has changed. I just want to make sure that it's the right something. -- Double-Declining depreciation to enter missing box salvage value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gcalctool in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: gcalctool When using the calculator in Financial mode, pressing the Ddb button for Double-declining depreciation should prompt for Cost, Salvage, Life, and Period. The prompt for Salvage is missing, and therefore cannot be entered. Consequently, the calculation cannot be performed.

The problem when using the function ddd, send an error because they have to enter 4 data (1.-Cost, 2.-Recovered; 3.-Life; 4.-Period) and in the window that appears, enter the data Retrieved missing box, so send the error.
