Re: [GNC] Gnucash crashes after upgrade
I installed 3.7 from flatpak, but then I couldn't find the executable. So, I uninstalled the flatpak, downloaded the source and compiled it. I also deleted every single .XXX file in my home directory that had 'gnucash' in the title. Oddly, even with all initialization files deleted, gnucash 3.7 still finds by Gnucash accounts file, and complains that it is locked. Second, it still crashes. Question 1: How did Gnucash 3.7 find my previous accounts file and the lock? Where is that information stored? Question 2: Now that I have a recent version that core dumps, what do I need to post to spelunk the problem? Or do I post that elsewhere? -- Brian M.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash crashes after upgrade
Thank you, everyone. I think I will wait for the next version to come out next month and try it out then. If I am going to install it by hand, I might as well install the latest. -- Brian M.

gnc-fq-dump doesn't work for most sources
I am unable to get gnc-fq-dump to work on almost everything. I am running
v1.45 on Ubuntu. I did get a hit off of TIAA-CREF, so it works in general.
