Re: [GNC] Delay during data entry
Those of us who are still running versions as old as 4.8, possibly because we are not ready to tackle setting up a flatpak in Linux still see horrible response times. It gets worse when the data file when loaded takes up over half of the RAM in our machine or if we are running it in a virtual machine. My version 4.8 Gnucash instance takes about 11.3 Meg when saved or 2.4 Gig of RAM when loaded in Linux Lite 6.6. The entire virtual machine has 8 Gig of RAM but every time I press enter it takes several seconds before the curser returns, or 15 seconds or more when I execute File >Save, which needs to be done every few minutes. Some of the delay comes from having too many registers open. I realize most of my misery is self inflicted, since I have now tried working on the same data in release 5.6.1 on a Windoze 10 machine with 32 Gig RAM, which almost keeps up with my slow typing. It is still going to take a while to revise my procedures to get away from GnuCash release 4.8 and have the level of hardware and software redundancy that I want to keep backups, etc. On Wed, May 1, 2024 at 4:36 PM R Losey wrote: > I don't see any delays on either Windows (Win 10, 16G RAM), or my M1 iMac > (Sonoma 14.4.1; 16G RAM), or or Linux (Ubunto 22.04LTS, 8G RAM).

I don't see any delays on either Windows (Win 10, 16G RAM), or my M1 iMac (Sonoma 14.4.1; 16G RAM), or or Linux (Ubunto 22.04LTS, 8G RAM).

My file size is about 2.2M Could it be that you are saving to a SQL database? I remember reading here that (unlike the standard option) it saves after every transaction. Maybe the database is on a slowish drive? Otherwise, I don't know why there would be such a lengthy delay after doing an entry.

Re: [GNC] Transaction Report Shortcomings
Somehow I didn't notice that Show Full Account Name option does something in that direction: the group header now shows "Expenses:Rental Properties:House-1:Prop Tax" which does at least disambiguate but is still pretty clunky.

Paul -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Paul Kroitor Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2024 10:07 AM To: 'Gnucash Users' Subject: [GNC] Transaction Report Shortcomings Is there a way to get the Transaction Report to show Account Description rather than Account Name in the group header lines (not the detail lines)? I have a number of expense accounts that have identical subaccounts, for example House-1:Property Tax and House-2:Property Tax. In the CoA, the Name for these sub-accounts is just Prop Tax, but the Description is House-1 Property Tax. The problem is that Transaction Reports (when set to primary key = Account Name) become confusing because there become several groups simply titled Prop Tax with no further distinction.

[GNC] [ERR-MAINT] GnuCash-Devel list config (and sub list) reverted to OLD config
Hi GnuCashers- TL;DR: As some of you may have noticed, email to GnuCash-Devel has been, well, wonky. The short version is that due to a cascade of issues and failures, the list configuration was reverted to an old config, including the subscription list. This caused several hundred old subscriptions to re-appear, and several hundred newer subscriptions to disappear. Unfortunately the only remedy is to re-subscribe to the list. LONG VERSION The GnuCash server is set up for a daily backup. This backup creates an LVM snapshot so the backup has a stable dataset during the ~4-hour backup process. When the backup finishes, the snapshots are removed. All well and good. Unfortunately, at some point (unknown) there was a system failure during that backup window which caused the snapshots to remain, and not get cleaned up. System failures like this happen frequently (mostly due to the VM host spontaneously rebooting, which happens a couple times a year). However usually the system cleans up after the failure. This time, for some reason, that cleanup did not occur. Simultaneously, the backup server email system wedged and stopped sending out status emails, so I didn't get notified of the backup failures. The leftover snapshot eventually filled up, which caused the gnucash-devel list to fail to write out its config file in a catastrophic way. This resulted in a corrupted config.pck. Mailman, "helpfully", reverted back to its config.db, which was its configuration back in 2002. This caused the list to disappear, due to old old changes. So why not revert to another backup? Two reasons: 1. It's unclear exactly when this failure occurred, so there's not a good way to know which backup to revert to. 2. Due to the snapshot failure, the backups were not running for way too long. The previous backup was from October 2023! I apologize for all the inconveniences if you unsubscribed in the past and somehow found yourself receiving gnucash-devel mail again. I also apologize for those who will have to re-subscribe because your subscription was lost. Going forward, I've made additional changes to recover if there is a leftover snapshot to attempt to prevent this kind of failure. I've also been paying much closer attention to the daily log emails and backup logs to keep this from happening again.
