[GNC] gnucash on debian
Hello, Although I used gnucash 16 year ago on fedora (being satisfied) I failed to get a working gnucash on the latest debian (bullseye or bookworm). My preference would be to use it under mate with lightdm as window manager. Anybody close to that environment that could give advice as the documentation is disparate and a little old. I do not plan to use database.

Re: [GNC] gnucash on debian
Thanks for a quick answer Mattia, As far as I remember, I had to move from mate to gnome to have it reasonably starting. But I feel so bad under gnome. My biggest problem is that my accounts are in CHF and to get that read that I need to change my locale, what I never do as I run all my software in english (so much better when you need google in case of trouble) and just define the language inside the program. From what I experimented and read here or there, I have to configure it globally. https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/chang-lang.html And no matter what I tried, instead of CHF (for swiss francs) I had SFr. With your feedback, I'll restart my experiment on a fresh install of bullseye (or maybe unstable). Thanks.

Re: [GNC] gnucash on debian
Thanks Michael to explain to Mac/Windows users the windows managers on linux, i.e. choices. Juste want to correct my usage of gnucash on gnome or mate: It never worked properly on gnome but I tended to think that I should use gnome as I only see documentation talking of gnome. With this helpfull list, I think I will succeed on mate soon.
