Re: [GNC] How to get debug to work (saying "uncle")

2022-01-17 Thread davidcousens49
Steve,

You will have to map Quicken/Quickbooks categories onto accounts in Gnucash.
These will be either Income or Expense accounts for the majority of cases and
are created as subaccounts of the top level Asset, liability Equity, Income and
Expense placeholder accounts in GnuCash. Ideally you should try to create these
accounts before importing at least for major accounts. The import procedure
should try and create accounts as necessary where it is clear what account and
type is needed.

See https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html 
and
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration#:~:text=From%20the%20Gnucash%20menu%20select,from%20your%20new%20account%20tree
 
for more info and suggestions.

It is generally better to import in small batches initially (month, quarter , 6
months) rather than a single import to sort out any problems. Once you have it
working OK you can increase the batch size.

Re: [GNC] Exiting GNUCash

2022-01-17 Thread David Carlson
It is not clear what you think happened.  It seems that more than one thing
did not transpire as you expected, since abandoning an edit, the presumed
cause of the shutdown without saving warning, and the attempt to open a
file already in use are different events.
Then how did you ascertain that, in fact, GnuCash did not save.  What,
exactly did it not save?  Did you allow sufficient time for GnuCash to
actually complete the entire shutdown?  Sometimes it takes a really long
time to shut down.  For example, when Linux decides to put some of
GnuCash's virtual RAM onto hard drive swap space, it may take over a minute
for the OS to recover and close the open file.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash via Flatpak-Issues-Solutions

Hi Les,

No idea but I wouldn’t think so but it won’t hurt to try. I’ve been using
the flat pack version on Ubuntu for ages now and also recently on Mint 20.3
without seeing any of the problems you seem to be having. Do you have any
of these issues in other programs/apps ? Have you considered upgrading
Linux Mint to see if that fixes the problem ?

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] I don't understand this IRA distribution solution

2022-01-17 Thread D. via gnucash-user
Looking at that thread, I believe that the crucial points are these:

1) You need to isolate the tax deferred income as you go. So, for example, you 
have $2000 gross income on a paycheck, of which $250 is deposited into your 
IRA. The payroll transaction will need to have separate entries of $1750 Income 
and $250 deferred income, each going into their asset account. 

2) When you take a distribution, there will be two balanced entries-- one from 
the IRA asset account to your checking account, and a second one with the same 
amounts from the deferred income account to your taxed income account. So, 
$250 cr IRA, $250 dr Checking
$250 dr Taxable $250 cr deferred income

Note that I am not an accountant, and I may have it wrong (especially the whole 
dr/cr thing)

But that's how I understand that. 

HTH,
David T.

Subject: [GNC] I don't understand this IRA distribution solution

I am an ex-quicken user, with no formal accounting training (only
gnucash manuals).

I hope to track money between my banking accounts, identify who is
receiving payments, and budget (income >= expense).

I started by using the wizard for common + investment accounts.

I didn’t see a problem until my investments generated an IRA distribution
with money to federal, state, and checking. I didn’t want to record the
federal, state deductions as an actual cash expense so I created an
“Investment Expense” root expense account to track the payments.

Now a new year has started and I’m trying to reuse my account tree but I
can not identify why the budget income is not reporting the sum of the
income sub-accounts.

Thinking my IRA distribution solution was the root of the problem I found
in gnucash-user “Accounting Treatment of Taxable IRA Distributions” thread.
There is a statement of a solution which I do not understand, “How did you
open your books? I bet your opening transaction had the balancing amount of
that IRA lumped into equity. But you should instead had it as a "deferred
income" under equity (a child). The equity total still correct, but now it
becomes easy for you to "undefer" that income as you take a distribution.
Understand? The distribution has TWO effects. One is to reduce the IRA
balance as it increases money in your checking account. The second is to
"undefer" that amount of income, reduce "deferred" and increase current
income (your regular income account).”

Would someone please explain this solution as accounts and transactions?

Thanks, very much,
Morris

[GNC] Exiting GNUCash

2022-01-17 Thread Gyle McCollam
I usually don't forget to save first so I don't know how long this has been 
happening.  Today I didn't save, so when the dialogue box came up, I selected 
"cancel".  GNUCash shutdown without saving and when I tried to open it thought 
there was another instance running, but I said open anyway.  I tested this 
again with the same result.  Then I tried it again, this time telling the 
system to save.  It shut down again, but it did not save!  I got the same 
message about the file already in use.

Has anyone else encounter this error?  I am using Win11 and GNUCash 4.9.

[GNC] How to get debug to work (saying "uncle")

2022-01-17 Thread Steve Conley
I have been trying for 5 days now to chunk Quicken and start using gnucash.
ANY CLUES will be sincerely appreciated.

The immediate problem I am trying to solve:
Quicken export to qif of accounts/categories "seems" to complete - but
nothing visible in gnucash.
Quicken export to qif of tranactions seems to work also.  (large).

*But gnucash import of even a limited qif data to 2001, gets to the final
import stage and gnucash dies with no error.  Sometime in late QIF import -
before matching step.*

Naturally I try to get a debug log but the ONLY way I was able to make
anything happen was

(I pulled the startup command from the .desktop entry):
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gnucash
--file-forwarding org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug
(and added --debug)

This does not put a trace/debug file anywhere I can find. Definitely not in
/tmp.

I next tried specifying the logto option with /tmp/gnucash.trace or
~/gnucash.trace
The trace goes neither place.

Running this:
/usr/bin/flatpak run --command=gnucash --file-forwarding
org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug gcashdata_3.gnucash

(I had to remove the branch and arch options that are in the desktop entry
(which I copied from above) to even get his outputof warnings)

and then doing the qif import, results in about 40 lines of:
(gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Negative content width -2147483648
 while allocating gadget (node progress, owner GtkProgressBar)
and
(gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Drawing a gadget with negative
dimensions. did you forget to allocate a size? (node progress, owner
GtkProgressBar)

Whether this results in the actual crash, I have no idea.

OTHER BACKGROUND ON WAY TO HERE ...

Whenever gnucash is started, I get the Gtk messages as follows:
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I tried all manner of suggestions of loading appmenu-gtk/2/3 and
libcanberra-gtk/2/3 etcand reinstalling each. all said they were installed
and all re-installs also completed without error.
But did not get rid of the messge.

The machine is a core-i3 with 4GB of RAM and a large drive - so space
should not be an issue.
But it is an Inspiron 13 - set at 1080p resoultion.

Why GNCash ...
I like what I see and have read the pdfs of documentation and played around
with examples.
(BTW, I am a 49 year - before retiring veteran of computer science with a
PhD in Comp Sci and Electronics.  I have 6 Xubuntu Linux machines at  home
in addition to a couple of hated Win10 achines.)

So I have 23 years of history in my Quicken data.
I have run the Quicken Repair options, and they say all is well.

Quicken (latest) export to qxf crashes.So I can't try gnucash import of
qxf.

First I am running for this machine Pop!_OS versus Xubuntu as it will be my
wife's and she is better with GUI.
AND I have ordered a System76 Pop!_OS laptop to replace my failing (screen)
Dell Inspiron 15.

can not identify why the budget income is not reporting the sum of the
income sub-accounts.

Thinking my IRA distribution solution was the root of the problem I found
in gnucash-user “Accounting Treatment of Taxable IRA Distributions” thread.
There is a statement of a solution which I do not understand, “How did you
open your books? I bet your opening transaction had the balancing amount of
that IRA lumped into equity. But you should instead had it as a "deferred
income" under equity (a child). The equity total still correct, but now it
becomes easy for you to "undefer" that income as you take a distribution.
Understand? The distribution has TWO effects. One is to reduce the IRA
balance as it increases money in your checking account. The second is to
"undefer" that amount of income, reduce "deferred" and increase current
income (your regular income account).”

Would someone please explain this solution as accounts and transactions?

Thanks, very much,
Morris

As William Precott suggested you will have to upgrade in steps, first to V 3
then 4. There are sometimes changes in format of the data file, configuration
and user preference files at those major version boundaries. The next version
usually includes a run once procedure which will rearrange the files as
necessary.  

Pay attention to make sure any saved or custom reports you have created and use
are transferred when you upgrade at the major version boundaries and are
available within GnuCash.

I also concur with the strategy of grading GnuCash before upgrading the
computer. You will be dealing with any difficulties on a system you are more
familiar with.

Around the times the major version changes occurred you will also find posts in
the user mailing list archives dealing with any difficulties which occurred. The
Wiki has the following recommendation for upgrading between major versions.

"Backwards compatibility issues
Gnucash maintains the ability to read older data files between major releases,
as long as major releases are not skipped.[16] If a user wishes to access
historical data saved in old GnuCash files, they must install intermediate
versions of GnuCash. For example, upgrading from 2.2 to 4.1 may not be possible;
the user should upgrade from 2.2.9 to 2.4.15, then to 2.6.21, then 3.11, then
4.1. The other alternative is for users to export transactions files to a CSV
format[17] prior to upgrading GnuCash. Exporting of the account tree must be
done as a separate step."

The recommendation to go to 3.1 and 4.1 rather than 3.0 and 4.0 is because the
first minor release usually includes any major bugs (particularly show stoppers)
encountered in the initial release of the major version, which will sort out
many issues which you would find looking back through the mail archives. The run
once procedure is included in the minor versions.

If you have any problems come back to the mailing list.

Re: [GNC] Lodging a cheque to an a/c - 'cash in wallet'??

2022-01-17 Thread davidcousens49
FinBar,

It depends what the cheque your wife received was for. If it was a reimbursement
of money she had previously paid out then it gets deducetedfrom the associated
expense account as it will have reduced the value of the expense to you.

If it was payment for services rendered then it is income

Asset:Bank   Dr xxx
Income   Cr xxx

Exactly how you treat it will depend upon how you treated the original
expenditure and what information it is you need to understand your finances. 
If you knew in advance what the reimbursement was going to be
you could have set up an Asset account for Reimbursements and when you recorded
the orignal expenditure you would have had a transaction of the form

Asset:Bank  Cr  xxx
Asset:Reimbursible  Dr  yyy
Expense Dr  zzz

where xxx=yyy+zzz. When you receive the cheque/check you would then record it as

Asset Bank  Dr  yyy
Asset:Reimbursable  Cr  yyy.


This would be the best procedure where you receive reimbursements regulerly for
example. For a one off then the following will work equally as well.
 
If you had not expected a reimbursement you would record the original expense in
full
Asset: Bank   Cr   xxx
Expense   Dr   xxx

and you would record the receipt of the cheque it as a credit to the expense
account ( or to a contra account named reimbursements to the expense account).
This is just a sub account of the expense account totalling into it to which you
record any reimbursements.

Asset:Bank   Dr  yyy
Expense  Cr  yyy

[GNC] Gnucash via Flatpak-Issues-Solutions

2022-01-17 Thread Les
I have been using GC for many years and a few years back I started using 
Flatpak for installations and updates.  I am on Linux Mint 19.3 and GC 4.9.


For the last year or so, I have had some annoying issues: unable to 
correct entries, unable to backspace within an account, and the latest, 
I cannot open an account by double-clicking.  Instead I have to click 
open account.


My question is: if I completely uninstall GC via Flatpak and then 
re-install via Flatpak, will I accomplish anything? (The hope of course, 
is to eliminate the annoying issues.)


Regards and thanks in advance,

Les

The print instructions I gave will print to a file. That file can be opened 
with Preview and printed normally. You may be able to send it directly to a 
printer after setting the options. I don't have a printer so I didn't think 
about that. I just take things to a copy shop a block away when I want to print 
which is rare. That way I don't have to mess with printers and cartridges for

Heide,

My suggestion is: Do NOT update Gnucash and change computers at the same time. 
Update Gnucash now, so that when you transfer stuff to your new computer you 
will not be making any changes to Gnucash at that time.

When you update Gnucash, do it one version at a time, i.e. first update to 
3.0-1, then to 4.0, then to 4.9. At each step make a backup of the Gnucash data 
file before updating and check that things look okay after updating. On a Mac 
operating system, I have had no problem keeping the old versions around while I 
try out newer ones. I have a Gnucash folder in Applications. It contains 
subfolders for Gnucash 2.6.1-1, 3.0-1, 3.10, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1.4, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 
4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.8-2, 4.9.The Gnucash.app is in each of the subfolders and I 
can just double click on any one of them to run it.

I don't think you need to go through all of the versions updating one by one, 
but certainly go through each of the major version, 3 and 4. Do not try to got 
straight from 2 to 4.

The datafile format changes from major version to major version. So don't go 
backwards. Backup your current datafile, open Gnucash 3.x, make sure it is 
okay, save changes, make a new backup, open Gnucash 4.x, make sure it is okay, 
save changes, etc. Keep track of which backup corresponds with a working copy 
and which version it worked with. 

You shouldn't have any trouble. As you can see I have gone through a lot of 
versions and never had any issues.

Regarding your second question:
Create a transaction report from the Reports menu
Click on Options at the top of the Transaction report window
Click on Accounts within the options dialog
Select the account you want
Click Apply
Click on General 
Select the time period you want
Click Apply
Click on Display
Select the Running Balances check box if you want those.
Click Apply
Click OK when you have all the options set
Then select Print Report from the File menu
The Print dialog box is not very Mac-like but it works fine
Select Print to File
Then click on the filename
That will open another dialog box that will let you choose where to put it.
If you click print without clicking on the filename, it will save it, but you 
might have trouble finding it.

Good luck,
Will

Just like any other deposit   You debit your checking/bank account for
the amount of the check, and then credit the amount from wherever the
funds are coming from, like Income:Salary, Income:Gifts Received, etc.

Why did she get a check?  What was it paying for?  That will help you

account.


I want to enter it as a deposit to her a/c. It only seems to accept 
Assets:Current Assets:Cash in Wallet as a transfer entry without

Since the amount will be credited to the a/c "cash in wallet" somehow

Is there a 'proper' way to enter a cheque lodgement?

Re: [GNC] Post crash recovery log file suggestion

2022-01-17 Thread David G. Pickett via gnucash-user
John,

So, less code.  It seems odd that they wrote the code for the replay but do not 
automatically do it, making it a hidden feature.  Hopefully it is truncated or 
a new log started with every save, so duplicates are not a problem.

My saves are not slow, but the huge number of huge files slows my backup to my 
cloud.  GNUCash files are probably the second largest part of my storage after 
pictures!  We discussed since-save and incremental-save previously.

I think my original GNUCash used an RDBMS, and that was fine.  I am not sure 
how to turn that on, or what additional files I would need to back up!  
Currently, I can open my backup GNUCash files on my second PC, but I am not 
sure with RDBMS that I could still do that.
Best,
David

We do, that's what the *.log files in the same directory as your data file are. 
Note, though, that they log only transactions and their splits. Nothing else, 
especially not the business stuff, is logged.


To re-enter them use File>Import>Replay GnuCash Log File.

You could enable auto-save in preferences, but when that runs it blocks the UI 
so it can be a bit tedious if you have a large file. You might also consider 
the SQLite3 backend that writes the database immediately when you complete a 
transaction, at the expense of not making a backup file and not being able to 
quit without saving if you decide you've made a mess of a session.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] access to Gnucash Nabble

2022-01-17 Thread Greg Feneis
It might be worth mentioning, I think the recommended location for the file
(...app data... and files and folders contained), is a hidden folder. IE It
may not appear in searches, or by navigating there by clicking icons in
Windows explorer. However, a user should be able to formulate the path and
type it into the address bar. Once you make it to the app data folder,
you're in.  Good luck 爛

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

Re: [GNC] eBay Managed Payment

2022-01-17 Thread Sebastian Naumann

Hi Dale,

I know with xero A2X works pretty well for either marketplace (AMZ / 
Shopify / eBay).


And I believe, instead of posting the statements directly to the 
actually bookkeeping software, you might be able to generate CSVs.


These are my two cents for it...hope this help.

[GNC] Budget calculation possible bug

2022-01-17 Thread Peter Jackson
I am using the Budget routine with Expenses and Income selected, set to
range, manual periods, with 1 selected in both cases.
In the January ie first column only for Income, the Total does not equal
the sum of the components in both the Budget, and Budget report. In fact,
if I enter zero in each income component, the total stays the same.
Regards
Peter
