The set up sound correct. It sounds like you may not be entering the transaction properly. (look at the GC concept guide about using a credit card - chapter 7. this is a conceptually very similar situation, just you are acting as your own card until you pay the rent) your weekly transaction should be between liability and expense, then when you pay the bill once per month, the transfer is from the Bank Account to the liability (so the liability goes back to zero) HTH, Maf. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: Finance-Quote 1.47 Unable to retrieve Currency quotes
Hello to all
After some test I finally ad a delay of 30s delay between two subsequent

With this delay the error disappear.

We are far, from having found the solution but at least I have found a
temporary solution to the problem.
With the hope that the "Maestro" (Italian term) Erik Colson will intervene
for the benefit of everyone with one of his magic codes.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
Thanks Colin, Unfortunately, I’m giving him the system this weekend, so 18.04 is out. He’s been using Ubuntu since 10.04, Unity was enough of an adjustment and he’s been using it for 6 years. I’m not sure he’ll take to a more standard Gnome well. I was going to let him ride out Xenial till EOL and then decide what to do then. I was preferring 2.6.19 over .17 but it might not make a difference if I’m going to bump him via a build to 3.0/3.1 anyway.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
Thanks Dave, I forgot about the README.dependencies file. I’ll take a look. I knew I was going to get some useful feedback from gcc and ./configure, I just didn’t know how messy it was going to be. I appreciate the tips on prefix and paths. That explains why I had trouble with a recent build of 2.7 turning into a mess with an older 2.6 from the official repo still installed. Sometimes you find instructions that assume you know all the implications of a choice, I guess I didn’t. Glad to know you successfully built 2.6.19 on 4.13.0-36 as that’s the same one I’m working with. I’ll give it a go this afternoon.

Re: Liabilities / Accounts
James, Everyone has their own methods, but the Tutorial & Concepts Guide has a suggestion that I’ve followed and it’s served me well. I always enter transactions working in the account register the money is coming FROM. I never use the General Journal/Ledger. In the case of a liability/expense situation, consider entering it in the particular liability register (Rent Due in your case) since it’s the liability that is ‘paying’ the expense until you actually fork over the cash. (and then enter that final payment transaction from the cash/checking register) This way you will always keep the splits straight. Money always moves from one account to another, and if you're already in the FROM account, the TO account is much simpler to figure out. Also, since this is likely to be a recurring transaction and the amount is likely to remain stable, consider learning how to use the Scheduled Transaction feature. You can have these weekly transactions automatically created for you. (with the ability to review and adjust them first) Then you’d only need to manually enter the actual payment each month when you make it. Regards, Adrien > On Feb 27, 2018, at 5:34 AM, Maf.

Problem With Current Assets
I have a set my chart for accounts under Current Assets: Cash, then various banks etc. Today, I decided to add a sub account to Cash: Banks. In attempting to place the various banks under "Banks", one of my accounts got accidentally placed under another bank and I cannot figure out how to undo it. When I try to change the parent account I get a message "you must choose a valid parent account". I can't figure out how to correct this. Probably just brain dead. I have changed structures before without any problem. System is LInux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.6.17. Any help, greatly appreciated.

Re: Problem With Current Assets
Did you try putting it back in it’s original place and trying again? I’ve encountered this error before, but sadly do not recall what triggered it or how I fixed it. I think I slightly recall it had something to do with similar naming, but I could be mistaken. My instinct though would be to double check the types of each account and make sure they are correct. There might be a check against placing non-asset accounts under other asset accounts for example. Perhaps the account in question somehow is of the wrong type.

Re: Problem With Current Assets
Thanks for the reply, Adrien. Yes, I tried that repeatedly but kept getting the same error message. I decided to go back to a previous GC file, opened it and my problem is now solved.

Re: Problem With Current Assets
Playing around, I managed to trigger the error message. I selected an account and then clicked the edit button. I then tried to re-assign it to itself as the parent. Of course, this is impossible. Not sure if that’s what happened in your case. And for me, I recall now naming did play a part. Because I had some accounts very similarly named and I wasn’t paying close enough attention to the tree, I was attempting to place an account under itself rather than a different account.

I was wondering if you (or anyone) has had an opportunity to review logs of Quicken downloading Discover data, and possibly making inferences from that. Thanks Hopefully there's a way to get AQBanking to work with it. If not, then it's probably not worth the effort anymore. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
Indeed, following a combination of the Trusty instructions and then part of the sequence for Autotools from the 2.8 instructions did the trick, without incident or missing dependencies. (I slightly modified the exact wiki commands because I wanted the sqlite3 backend, and AqBanking) I guess I was prematurely unsure of the result. Now just to make a custom launcher for Unity… Thanks for the help! -- For posterity, I used the following command sequence: sudo apt build-dep gnucash sudo apt install libdbd-sqlite3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin/gnucash --enable-compile-warnings --with-html-engine=webkit make sudo make install The app launched fine. If anyone knows of any problems with this approach, please advise, otherwise, this is done.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
Sorry, a bit late in answering this, and surprised that no-one else chipped in ... but in case it helps someone in the future, you can get pretty recent versions of GnuCash for Ubuntu etc in the getdeb repository. http://www.getdeb.net/app/Gnucash Saves a lot of messing around with compilers, dependencies etc. Having said that, its usually updated pretty quickly after a release, but I now see its still on 2.6.17.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
Thanks Plutocrat, I noted the same staleness of version in the original post and David Carlson noted it as well. Certainly, if people don’t mind being a release or two behind that is the simpler option. When I’m setting something up for someone else who likes *nix but isn’t tech savvy, though, I’d prefer to give them something as new as possible with fewer bugs. Had GetDeb had 2.6.19, I would have certainly taken that route.

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
I have contacted the developer (maintainer) for GC on getdeb twice about when to expect an update, but there have been no replies. Maybe not active anymore?

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial
It seems I spoke too soon. While the build went fine and I can launch the app from CLI, I can’t seem to get a proper .desktop file to be recognized by Unity, or successfully ‘Add to Dash/Lock to Launcher’ after a CLI run. (any such launcher wants to lock as ‘Unsaved book’ and won’t launch anything if clicked - it just pulses) Apparently, the build did not properly or fully register its mime type, so I can’t launch the app from clicking the saved book. (yes I checked for an xml mime file, which does exist, and I added application/x-gnucash to the /etc/mime.types file as well.) I also had to cp the icons to their appropriate locations, the build didn’t do this either. I may have to just install the GetDeb version instead for time’s sake.
