Re: [GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Erik Nesteruk]

Thanks for checking, Jim. Budget creation worked properly when I first
set up my books a few months ago with v3.0, but I have edited my
account structure since then and had to create a new budget for our FY
that started today. I'm currently on v3.2, and when I created a new
"test" book with default common accounts and then tried to create a
budget there were no accounts shown on the budget window. It seems
there's something new in the budget logic that creates the budget
line-item only for accounts where there are transactions.

And Robert, I thought that you would need to first create a budget in
an existing book (our current difficulties notwithstanding). Then,
when you create a new book, the budget you created would be an option
as the default budget. My quick test shows this not to be the case,
however, and I also show no options for a default budget in a new
account. Sorry.

For now, I'm just going to use a spreadsheet for budgeting.
Eventually, all accounts will have transactions and I can try GC
again.

Re: [GNC] Rethinking the placeholder account concept (was: Re: Fwd: The two modules)

[Christopher Lam]

Discussions are useful; but would anyone have an idealised template, or
sample output that the balance sheet should produce? Idealy with the
'account-has-children-and-amounts' peculiarity?
The balsheet in development will, ideally, replace the current (non-eguile)
one.
The existing one has amounts in the wrong columns, inflexible accountnames,
no multiple date points reporting, no linkage with other reports.

[GNC] gnucash 3.2 failes to open database in Postgresql 10

[Deamen TANG]

Hi There,

I am using gnucash 3.2 with Postgresql 10,  after I have created my account
in gnucash I can successfully save it into postgres, but after I close
gnucash and open the account again, I get an error saying "experienced an
error or encountered bad or corrupt data".

I checked the postgres log, it was complaining about relation "gnclock"
already exists:
2018-07-02 09:33:30.982 AEST [30291] ERROR:  relation "gnclock" already
exists
2018-07-02 09:33:30.982 AEST [30291] STATEMENT:  CREATE TABLE gnclock (
Hostname varchar(255), PID int )

If I go to delete the "gnclock" table, I am able to open my account, but if
I close gnucash again I get the same error when I re-open my account.

For now, I have to drop the "gnclock" table after I close gnucash.

Could anyone please advise if this is a bug or a user error?

I tried the official windows binary and compiled one under Fedora 26, I am
getting the same error.

Thanks

Song

Re: [GNC] Changing default font size in Gnucash 3.2

Hi Dan Dickinson,

For me the method via *GTK*_CONFIG_HOME/settings.ini file worked in Windows.

Try using the method via *GNC*_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.css file on your MAC.

Is it possible that it detected them in the install directory during the

I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and build 3.2 from the tar.gz download.

I looked in my source and build directories and found:
./GnuCash/gnucash-3.1/data/pixmaps/hicolor/16x16/actions/gnc-account-report.png
./GnuCash/gnucash-3.1/data/pixmaps/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-report.png
./GnuCash/mybuild/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/gnc-account-report.png
./GnuCash/mybuild/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-report.png/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons
./GnuCash/gnucash-3.2/data/pixmaps/hicolor/16x16/actions/gnc-account-report.png
./GnuCash/gnucash-3.2/data/pixmaps/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-report.png


My "mybuild" directory was cleaned before building 3.2 as I shared it
with 3.1.  From my ./GnuCash folder:

cd mybuild
cmake ../gnucash-3.2
make
sudo make install

The icons in the mybuild folder were copied to
/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons

Re: [GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Robert Hoogendoorn]

Hi,

I have a similar problem with version 3.2 for windows.

I have set up a new company, but when I create a budget no accounts show up.

Under the new book options tab there is a budget section which suppose to have 
a default budget. On my end this is empty, so no default budget is available. I 
am not sure if this has anything to do with the unavailability of budget 
accounts.

Do you know how I can resolve this?

Kind regards,
Robert

Hmm.  Puzzled, then.  I just created a brand new account, without even an
opening balance transaction so it has no entries, and a zero balance.  When
I did "New Budget" it showed up in the budget tree.  I'm running version
2.6.19 on Ubuntu 18.04.  What version & OS are you on?  Perhaps there is
behavior that has changed.

Re: [GNC] Advanced Portfolio: "sell transaction causing a negative stock balance, and a subsequent buy transaction causing a zero balance"

[Christopher Lam]

Highlight the "transfer" buy transaction, click transaction duplicate, and
accept the exact same day. You now have two buy transactions. Now highlight
the first one and delete it.

I've been there, and I feel your pain.  You've already seen people's
suggestions for the immediate situation, but here's how I stop myself
from making that mistake again.

I've hidden my shortcut to the GnuCash _program_, and instead have a
shortcut to my GnuCash _data file_. Windows recognizes the .gnucash file
type, and launches GnuCash with that data file. Internally I imagine
it's a command-line argument, so something similar should work in other
OSes, or at least you could make a shortcut or alias to "GnuCash {your
data file name}".

[GNC] Advanced Portfolio: "sell transaction causing a negative stock balance, and a subsequent buy transaction causing a zero balance"

[Anthony Joseph Messina]

With GnuCash 3.1 on Fedora 28, I encounter the following error with the 
Advanced Portfolio report that I didn't receive on previous 2.6.y versions.

"There is an error processing the transaction 'buying 1.4907 share units'. 
This may to be caused by a sell transaction causing a negative stock balance, 
and a subsequent buy transaction causing a zero balance. This leads to a 
division-by-zero error. It can be fixed by preventing negative stock 
balances."

A stock in one of my 403(b) accounts was exchanged for another back on 
4/24/2015.

DateDescription Tot Shares  Tot Buy Tot Sell
Balance
4/09/15 
258.9702
4/24/15 Transfer-260.4609   38,540.22   
-1.4907
4/24/15 Contrib 1.4907  220.58  0

What is the proper fix here?  It seems like the "Contrib" entry needs to be 
moved just before the "Transfer" on 4/24/15, but I'm not sure of the way to do 
this.  If I try to fake the date of "Contrib" to 4/23/15, I get the ominous 
warning about moving a transaction that's been reconciled, so I don't really 
want to do that.

Thanks for your help.  -A

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[Colin Law]

I have found these lines in gnucash-build/data/pixmaps/cmake_install.cmake

if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT
CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/gnucash/icons"
TYPE DIRECTORY FILES "/home/me/apps/gnucash-3.2/data/pixmaps/hicolor" REGEX
".*/apps.*" EXCLUDE)
endif()

if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT
CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/icons" TYPE
DIRECTORY FILES "/home/me/apps/gnucash-3.2/data/pixmaps/hicolor" REGEX
".*/actions.*" EXCLUDE)
endif()

Which look as if they should be copying the icons from the source directory
to /usr/local/share/gnucash/icons and /usr/local/share/icons.  However it
seems to say (given my negligible knowledge of the make system) copy the
files from the apps folders to share/gnucash/icons and the ones from the
actions folders to share/icons, which is the wrong way round.  So I can't
make any sense of it.

Re: [GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Jim Passmore]

Hmm.  Puzzled, then.  I just created a brand new account, without even an
opening balance transaction so it has no entries, and a zero balance.  When
I did "New Budget" it showed up in the budget tree.  I'm running version
2.6.19 on Ubuntu 18.04.  What version & OS are you on?  Perhaps there is
behavior that has changed.

Re: [GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Erik Nesteruk]

Good thought, Jim, but I'm actually referring to the budget creation
itself. When I click Actions -> Budget -> New Budget, the newly
created budget has line-items for accounts that have transactions
recorded but not for those without transactions. If I make a dummy
transaction and create another new budget, the formerly missing
account will appear.

And I do have the "Display accounts with zero total balances and
budget values" selected in the Report options, but I haven't
progressed to the report stage yet.

Thanks,
Erik

In the German system active and passive are seen as the fundamental
account types. In the end it leads to the same result, but I get your
point of view.

Hovever I would suggest make changes to the balance sheet report to be
able to produce European reports.

[GNC] Changing default font size in Gnucash 3.2

[Daniel Dickinson]

I just upgraded to Gnucash 3.2 (on Mac OS X 10.13.4) and am having trouble 
setting a default font size.  The current font is too small and makes it very 
difficult for me to read the register.


Following the instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3, I created the 
file ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (this 
file didn't exist previously), with the following contents:

[Settings]
gtk-font-name=Arial 16


Also, from within Gnucash I went to Edit>Style Sheets>Default and changed all 
the fonts to Arial 16.


Neither of these actions had any effect on the font sizes displayed.  How can I 
set a larger default font size in Gnucash 3.2?


Thanks,

Dan Dickinson

Re: [GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Jim Passmore]

Erik,
Not sure, but I think you're talking about the budget *report*, and not the
actual budget?  If so, try this...  Each report has an options dialog,
found by clicking the gear icon while the report is displayed.  On the
Display tab there is, at least for the 2 budget reports I looked at, an
option that reads something like "Display accounts with zero total balances
and budget values."  (It can vary by report.)  Make sure that option is
checked and hit OK.  How does it look now?

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[John Ralls]

data/pixmaps/CMakeLists.txt. There aren't any conditionals.

Does your build directory have share/gnucash/icons?

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[Roger Miskowicz]

Hi Colin,

No idea, but from the 'build' directory I did:

$  grep -r "gnucash/icons" *
to get:

data/pixmaps/cmake_install.cmake:  file(INSTALL DESTINATION
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/gnucash/icons" TYPE DIRECTORY FILES
"/home/roger/Projects/Gnucash/master/gnucash/data/pixmaps/hicolor" REGEX
".*/apps.*" EXCLUDE)
install_manifest.txt:/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-edit.png
install_manifest.txt:/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-new.png
. plus a bunch more

The '/home/roger/Projects/Gnucash/master/gnucash/data/pixmaps/hicolor'
folder contains the icons that appear to contain the images to be copied to
the ..gnucash/icon folders.

Hope this helps,
  Roger

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[Colin Law]

I have just rebuilt (on 18.04) using the exact same commands and my
manifest does not include the icons.  Do you know what is supposed to tell
the system to install them?

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[Roger Miskowicz]

I have GC3.2 on two 16.04 linux systems and in one build I have
install_manifest.txt which includes the 'icons' directory and in the other
the install_manifest.txt does not exist (in this one the icons files were
installed months earlier so not part of my latest install).


I just rebuilt GC3.2 on 16.04 using:

mkdir build
cd build

cmake -D WITH_AQBANKING=OFF -D WITH_OFX=OFF ../gnucash
cmake ..

make

and the install_manifest.txt include the 'icons' directory.


Hope this helps, let me know if you would like to try something else.

Roger

I found them on my 18.04 Ubuntu -- I compile 3.2 locally and installed

 Just one small issue so far, the icons to the left of the account
 names are all showing as a little no entry sign, which I guess means
 the icon is missing.  Does that mean I have missed something or is
 something missing from the build?

No, in /usr/local/share/gnucash there is no icons folder.   I have
accounts  gtkbuilder  make-prefs-migration-script.xsl  pixmaps
tip_of_the_day.list
checksjqplot  migratable-prefs.xml scm  ui

The only png file is pixmaps/gnucash_splash.png

There is no reference to /usr/local/share/gnucash/icons in the output of
sudo make install.

Re: [GNC] Build on 18.04

[Roger Miskowicz]

in 16.04 and GC3.2 using:

$ locate gnc-account-report

I found:

/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/gnc-account-report.png
/usr/local/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/gnc-account-report.png

Are these files found in 18.04?

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 3.2 Released

David,

That’s apparently new and undocumented behavior, maybe in CMake 3.10. Thanks

[GNC] Budget Creation with Some Empty Accounts

[Erik Nesteruk]

I'm having technical trouble creating a budget and would like to hear any ideas.

Background: I started using GnuCash a few months ago. Several of my
income and expense accounts have not yet seen any transactions and
show zero in the "Total" column.

Objective: I want to create a budget and enter the approved amounts
for each account.

Problem: When I create the budget, only those accounts that have
transactions will show up in the budget.

If I create a dummy transaction in each empty account, it will appear
in the budget window, but then my reports will show these transactions
until the account gets a real transaction and I can delete the dummy.

Is there a better way to get *all* my accounts, including those with
no transactions, to show up in my budget?

Thanks,
Erik

[GNC] autocomplete not working in 3.2

[Michael Matz]

I just upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2.  macOs 10.13.5

(I skipped 3.1 because 3.0 has worked well for me, with the limited set of
features I use.)

When I enter a new transaction, I type the first letter in the description
column and GnuCash makes a suggestion but if I continue typing the
suggestion is not updated or replaced.

For example, if I type "F" the description becomes "Food".  If I then type
"a" then the description becomes "Faood".  Or typing "Fo" becomes "Foood"
 This worked as expected in 3.0 and previous versions, i.e. typing "Fa"
results in "Fa" (no suggestion) and typing "Fo" result in "Food".

The same thing happens in the Transfer column

Anybody else having this problem?

I've switched back to 3.0 for now.

Thanks,
Michael

Re: [GNC] How To Record an In-Kind Charitable Donation?

[Stan Brown]

What I do is record a debit to charities expense, and a credit to my own

I debit Charities and credit Stationery. If I drive, I debit Charities

[GNC] Uninstalling previous versions

[Stan Brown]

Here's my take, for what it's worth. At least in the Windows world, the
assumption is that when you install a new version it either removes the
old version entirely, or leaves the old version functional but installs
the new version in parallel. (The latter is less common, but some
programs do it when the new version is a major change.) Leaving a few
old files behind as orphans is usually regarded as an error of the new
installer.

I don't have a problem with the requirement to uninstall the old
version, but it was news to me, and I think would surprise many Windows
users. Surely the installer of the new version can uninstall the old
version itself -- and in my opinion, it should.

[GNC] Build on 18.04

[Colin Law]

Following the instructions for building GC 3.x on the wiki [1] has
been accomplished on Ubuntu 18.04 with little difficulty, so many
thanks to the contributors to the wiki.

Just one small issue so far, the icons to the left of the account
names are all showing as a little no entry sign, which I guess means
the icon is missing.  Does that mean I have missed something or is
something missing from the build?

[GNC] Issue importing MT940 files

[lemonnie...@bluewin.ch]

Hi.
It seems that Gnucash is not reading in the full character string for the 
identity of the account for a MT940 import (line identifier :25:).  For me, it 
is reading up to the last but one character.  I have 2 accounts where only the 
last digit is different and thus it cannot recognise a difference in the 
accounts.  I thought that I had made a mistake, but having studied the issue, 
it is in the software - in the assignment window for 'Select Account', the 
description at the top states (Full account ID: ) and lacking the last 
character.  Workaround is to manually change before import and that works, but 
something has changed since the 2.6 version, where it was working fine for 
these accounts.  I just installed 3.2 and the error is still present.

Re: [GNC] My bad

[Colin Law]

The easiest way is to open the backup file and Save As the original
file as you have suggested.  You could rename it instead but then you
would have to use File Open to open it (as GC defaults to opening the
last file used as you noticed).  Log files are not used by the system
after they are created so the names don't matter.  I tend not to use
Save As for backups for precisely the reason you have found, but have
the backup of the accounts as part of the general backup strategy for
the whole machine.

[GNC] My bad

[Tony Vanson]

Hi all,
On 29/06/2018 I backed up my GNU file.
I did some editing, entering additional transactions and reconciliations on
the 30th, and today, without realizing that GNUcash had opened up my backup
file instead.
Is it possible to rename the now up-to-date backup file to the normal file
I use, if so must it's log file also be renamed or can I open the backup
file and do a "save as", specifying the normal file name, without screwing
up anything.
Thanks once again for any advice.
