Re: [GNC] Gnucash Frozen

[Abe Sternberg]

Murugan,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I tried them both and didn't make any 
progress.  Then I tried the obvious and opened the immediately preceding 
.gnucash file.  This file worked fine.  All I have to do is re-enter the 
entries I made, not a big project.

couple of trials you can do

1.
check the last log file and open it and see if it is allowing you
to enter , if so you have re enter the last bit of transactions
2.
other way is, copy the file to a different directly in windows and
try opening it

As for the issue at hand, my first guess is a hidden window has input 
control, but your OS allows you to scroll other 'background' windows. 
(I know MacOS and some Linux distributions can do this, not sure of 
Windows)


How to discover if another GnuCash window/dialog has control, but is 
simply overlaid by the main window, or is otherwise hidden, will 
depend on your OS and setup. Another possibility, is if you are using 
multi-monitor setup, the other window could be on another monitor, or 
*think* it is on another monitor that isn't on/connected.


Of course, all of the above is just a guess. We need more info.

Re: [GNC] Will GNU CASH work on a Chromebook

[Abe Sternberg]

I run Gnucash on my Chromebook using Linux when I am traveling and it is a
real pain.  For me, there are two challenges.  The first is that if you are
not skilled in Linux it is a constant effort to keep the Linux apps updated.

Next, the Linux side is slow and uses a lot of system resources.
Chromebooks are not designed to run apps.

Now, the biggest headache.  Gnucash needs it's data file to be local, so I
have to download the data to my Chromebook, then upload it to my computer
when I return home.

In sum, running Gnucash solely on a Chromebook can be done, while a second
instance of Gnucash on a Chromebook should only be done if absolutely
necessary.  Of course, this is just my opinion.

Hi Abe,

One thing that helped me to understand using GnuCash when I first started was the naming of 
the columns. If you unset Edit->Preferences->Accounts->Label->Use formal 
accounting labels you then get column headings such as Receive and Spend rather than Debit 
and Credit. Much easier to get my head around when I first started, more real world than 
accounting. In fact I've left it unset even after 3-4 years of using GnuCash, even though I 
know, more or less, what I'm doing now.

I think you mean you _credit_ the checking account (which does indeed
reduce it) and _debit_ the clothes account (which does indeed increase
it). Your checking account is an asset, and your clothing is an expense
(assuming you're not the business of selling clothes).

Bookkeeping should not scare you. But as with learning anything new,
there's always a certain amount of memorization. Here it is:

1. ASSETS and EXPENSES: a debit increases them, a credit decreases them.
2. LIABILITIES, EQUITY, and INCOME: a debit decreases them, a credit
increases them.
3. The total of all debits in the books must equal the total of all
credits. The way you accomplish this is by ensuring that total debits
always equal total credits in each transaction.
4. (implied by 1 and 3):
ASSETS + EXPENSES = LIABILITIES + EQUITY + INCOME.
People have their favorite versions of this equation, but any valid
version can be transformed to any other, simply by moving one or more
items to the opposite side of the equation and changing their sign. Thus:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY + (INCOME = EXPENSE)
ASSETS - LIABILITIES - EQUITY - INCOME + EXPENSE = 0
etc.

Credit-card accounts and checking or savings accounts can be problematic
until you get used to them, because the bank's vocabulary is exactly
opposite to yours.

When you make a purchase with a credit card, your account is charged
(debited) on the bank's books, but you have increased your liability, so
you post a credit to your credit-card account on your books.

When you make a payment to your credit-card account from your checking
account, on your books that is a debit to your credit card (reducing
your liability) and a credit to your checking account (reducing an
asset). On the bank's books, it's exactly opposite.

My suggestion is, get BOOKKEEPING FOR DUMMIES or a similar book from the
library and read through it, pausing as need be to work through the
examples. (The "Dummies" label is quite insulting, but in my experience
the books themselves have been well done.)

You could try all the documentation at GnuCash, but in reality, you

I have just started using Gnucash for my savings account, not much money
involved here, and wanted to enter my first transaction.  Not being good
at double-entry bookkeeping, I have no idea what are the two off-setting
accounts.  I imagine that I use income, but what is the other account?

Thanks for your help to a dumb guy.

[GNC] Creating/Modifying a Budget Report

[Abe Sternberg]

I have been using GnuCash for about a year and am not a very 
sophisticated user.  I am the treasurer for a very small non-profit, and 
the "standard family bank account" approach has worked just fine.  Now, 
I find that I would like to add keeping our budget performance on GnuCash.


I have set up the budget, which is working fine, the challenge is that 
the included budget reports are inadequate, and I would like to change 
them or create my own.  I spent all of yesterday wondering around 
GnuCash on the I-net and only found references to programming my reports 
in either Scheme, eguile, or guile.  All the preceding are Linux based 
languages and not Windows.  I am not a programmer, and all the 
descriptions I read just boggled my mind.


Can anyone out there shed some light on this, all I want to do is a 
report modification which should be a built-in for GnuCash?


Thanks,
Abe

Re: [GNC] GnuCash Windows Bundle 4.11-1 Released

[Abe Sternberg]

I'd like to take this discussion in a slightly different direction if
permitted.

I have updated my Windows version without a problem however, I also run
GnuCash, v 4.8, on my Chromebook, for travel, and can't figure out how to
upgrade
it to version 4.11.  I used Flathub for the original install.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Much appreciated,
Abe

Re: [GNC] Could Not Obtain Lock

[Abe Sternberg]

I am using Windows 11.  I try to close GnuCash properly, though there have
been times when I may not have.  Also, I have had some Windows updates
while GnuCash was left open.  I will look for the update and advise if the
error continues.

Thanks,
Abe

[GNC] Could Not Obtain Lock

I get this message every time I open GnuCash. It doesn't seem to cause any
damage but is an annoyance.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to
correct it?
