To give us more information what do see if you run in a terminal: apt-cache policy gnucash But first run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade which will make sure everything is up to date (dist-upgrade does not try to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu, it just makes sure everything is up to date for that version).

Falure to open gnucash
Dear Members I tried to access my gnucash accounts yesterday and got the cryptic error message gnucash failed to open because of a problem. I am using the Mac operating system which I recently upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.2. Can that be the cause of my failure to open Gnucash? I then downloaded the latest version of gnucash but did not install it because I didn’t know whether the new installation would wipe out my company books. Is it safe to install a new version? Will it preserve my accounts? Your help would be much appreciated. Since I am not sure how to navigate the mailing lists and would not know where to find a reply, please reply to jerry.kre...@engopt.com.

gnucash reports changed to a mini fonts size
I updated gnucash to 2.6.18 and the latest strawberry perl to finally get Price Editor to work with yahoo_json. But now, reports appear in a mino font size (estimated to be 3 pts), while other account windows are normal (12 pts). Does anyone know where to set font size for the reports? -- Ulrich Hopfer 2915 Coleridge Rd.

Accounting Period dates in 2.7.2
I'd like to report some discrepancy I noticed after switching to 2.7.2. First I've uninstalled 2.6.19, deleted my GnuCash profile folder, and then installed 2.7.2. When I ran GnuCash, it opened my book normally. There was no need to select one, meaning the settings are stored elsewhere (registry?). - The shortcut to Select the GnuCash Theme does not wok as gtk2_prefs can no longer be found. - The Accounting Period dates in Preferences show 2017-06-30 to 2018-06-29 when, in fact, they were set to 2017-07-01 to 2018-06-30. Meaning, the days displayed are one less than previously set. This might or might not be significant but I'd like to report it. Also, not sure if this is the best forum or if this should go to the dev list.

Re: GnuCash 2.6.19 released
I installed 2.6.19 on Win10, ran Install Online Price Retrieval, and now cannot update any quotes using alphavantage. During installation, it said I have the latest version of Date::Manip and Finances::Quote, and installation succeeded. In 2.6.18, updating prices was perfect, but if I downgrade and install 2.6.18 again, quotes will not update any longer. The error I get is Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:, then a long list of all my securities. I'm a newbie and don't know what to try next.

Re: New User to GnuCash
Derek - Thx for this detailed suggestion. The light bulb is going on now and cleaning up the "view" helps a lot! I have another question. When I have opened 3 sub-account windows - they are all "pinned" in the same window pane as the main Accounts window pane - a tabbed approach. But from that point, any other sub accounts that I double click to open - will open in an individual/separate/apart window instead of adding to the tabbed view with the others. Hope this makes sense! Would there be a limit on tabbed accounts you can open?

Re: Church Use of GNUCash
If you are in the US, I suggest treating temporarily restricted funds and permanently restricted funds differently. (I do not know much about church accounting but if you must report to the IRS as a non-profit, your account structure should make this reporting convenient.) If you have several of these I would create a subaccount called Temporarily or Permanently Restricted Funds and put these as subaccounts of that. Whoever setup the bank accounts for the church may have expected some segregation of funds would be needed so this may already be implicit in the physical setup. In any case because church records are often seen by many (elders, trustees, etc.) I would get the word restricted into the account hierarchy of names.

US tax with foreign stocks advance portfolio
I am going to respond to myself just to keep this information if someone ask the same question in the future. No, it seems there is no way. Advance portfolio applies always the same exchange rate to basis and value. (I am trying to understand the trading option but I am not sure it is going to help me) The other way to do it is buying the stock (initial and additional purchases) and keeping the price list for this security using the Gnucash main currency. In my case $. That's the only way to keep the cost basis with the original exchange rate, basically deleting the exchange. Pros: the advance portfolio is updated and you only use one currency Cons: forget about the automatic download of quotes. You have to do it manually. If your portfolio only has 2 stocks probably is fine but with 10 stocks and several purchases and dividends every week it is a lot of work. I wish I could understand the program to fix the advance portfolio format but I think in my case it could make sense to have a spreadsheet. Thanks *** Hi, Question about how Gnucash handles the foreign stocks. My Gnucah main currency is dollar but I have some stocks in EUR. Gnucash is updating the basis cost in dollar every time I update the EUR/$ exchange rate in the Advance Portfolio report. However, IRS requires comparing the selling price with cost basis with the exchange rate at each specific date. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-currency-and-currency-exchange-rates Is there a way to keep the cost basis with fixed exchange rate?
