[GNC] [MAINT] Planned server reboot Monday, Dec 7, 8:00pm US/EST
TL;DR: Unless I hear major objections, I plan to reboot the VM server tomorrow, Monday, Dec 7, around 8pm US/EST (0100 UTC Dec 8), in order to refresh / update some certificates. Please let me know if this is an issue. Long Version: The GnuCash infrastructure uses a single-host OVirt VM platform for its production system. Unfortunately, this means that certain system maintenance efforts require system reboots, and, unfortunately, replacing the certificates is one of those. All the new certificates are in place so I should just need to reboot the system to allow it to take effect. The reason for the certificate update is two-fold: 1) Many of the certificates were set to expire next year (2021), so they would have to be renewed anyway. Granted, this date was November 1, so I had most of the year to do it, but still, it had to be done within the next 11 months. 2) More importantly, the certificates were all using SHA1, and this was causing problems with e.g. remote-viewer complaining that the certificates were not secure. This is JohnR and, after I update my own system this weekend, me. If I had a multi-server Ovirt setup (e.g. 3 hosts), then I could round-robin update them. I migrate all the running VMs to the other two hosts and then I can safely take the third host down and do whatever I needed. Then I bring it up again, let everything stabilize, and then move to the next one. Alas, with a single host, I can't do this so I need to reboot. total downtime should be no more than 30 minutes, assuming of course I got everything right. Also, I am *hoping* this will fix the remote-viewer issue, but I won't know for sure until after I reboot. If you all have any questions, concerns, or the timing is bad, please let me know. Thanks! -derek PS: For John, Frank, Geert, etc -- due to the certificate changes you will need to remove the old certificates from your browser trusted-cert cache first and then import the new ones. Search for IHTFP. If you don't remove it, it'll give you an error that the certificate changed but has the same Issuer/Serial#. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that. -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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: [GNC] Error with Asset Chart report
If I had to guess, the observed phenomena here result when the code is required to probe below this setting, so if you don't get to the seventh circle of accounting hell, you won't see it. What has me confused is that the setting is clearly, obviously available to me-- even on the stock Asset Chart report. And if I can select it, I shouldn't receive an error choosing it. (Never mind how remarkably cryptic this message is!) As I mentioned last year, I wonder whether Windows is using a 1-7 list, while *nix platforms (OsX is one of those) count them as 0-6. I can't imagine why else this error would crop up. It would be nice if someone else on Windows could try to replicate the error.

Re: [GNC] Silly font question?
Are you using a custom CSS file? If so, your preferred font may not be present and is being substituted. If you are not using one, you can choose to do so. See the wiki FAQ about customizing fonts.

In version 4.2, it seems to have defaulted to some unknown 8 point font. I cannot find any Help manual or Wiki subject that describes how to change the Register fonts on Windows 10, other than referencing the Display settings under User Access. Since these settings do not tell you what the font is (Thanks Windows for making things so obtuse) – only the magnification, I do not know what my default settings really are.

Re: [GNC] GNU Cash on a Central Computer
While GnuCash can use MySQL (as well as Postgres and SQLite) as a backend, the entire db is read into memory at start-up, rather than separate records being accessed like a normal db-based app. Thus, it is not currently set up to do what you are looking for, but that is a (very) long term goal. There are some other answers in this thread that explain how to work around this, somewhat, for now. Regards, Adrien On 12/4/20 11:30 AM, Mike Brady. wrote: Good point. Can GnuCash work as a front end to a database that does record locking, such as MySQL? Otherwise, how would work done by multiple other users on their copies of the data be safely merged into a single master file? It's clear, though, that GnuCash is designed mainly for single users. A company big enough to have multiple bookkeepers and accountants, needing access to the data at the same time, may need different software. ___ 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.

[GNC] Charts not showing up correctly for multicolumn view
Hello all, I've been using Gnucash for a few years now, but I've never been able to use the different stylesheets as it always messed up my line/bar/charts. Only the default one was able to plot them in the right aspect ratio. I took the plunge and upgraded from 3.5 to 4.2 on win10 yesterday and all my multicolumn dashboards are not non-visible even with the default stelysheet. The Default with show like this, overextending the columns: [image: image.png] While the Easy will look like this: [image: image.png] Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or how to fix this? Don't have this issue if I run it via ubuntu on wsl2, but I can't upgrade to 4.2 on it. I've spent a lot of time building these dashboards and i'd like to get them back to being functional.
