Re: [GNC] Fixed or still broken?
gnucash-5.5-1.setup.exe is a repackage of GnuCash 5.5 with a rebuilt WebKit and probably some other dependency updates from MSYS2. No GnuCash bug fixes since last December are in it; for those you can either wait for the 5.6 release at the end of the month or install a nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable.

[GNC] gnucash-5.5-1.setup.exe
Having finally beaten WebKitGtk on Windows into submission so that it runs JavaScript without crashing, at least in my not very extensive tests, I've built a new Windows gnucash-5.5-1.setup.exe and uploaded it to the usual places.

Re: [GNC] How to reimport an ofx file?
If the OFX files are made correctly then that means the transactions are already recorded in the account. Each transaction in an OFX import has an FITID that is supposed to be unique for the source institution. When creating a new transaction or matching an existing one GnuCash records the FITID as the transaction's online-id after first searching all transactions in the account for that FITID and finding no match. A few users have reported that their banks' software screws up the FITIDs so that they're unique within the downloaded file but are repeated across multiple files and that breaks GnuCash's duplicate detection. Check your OFX files (they're plain text) and see if the FITIDs are being reused. If they are you can write a simple program in your favorite scripting language to add something uniique--maybe the file's date as MMDD or a serial number--to every FITID. Keep the script around, you'll need to apply it to all future imports from that bank until they fix their OFX export software.

Re: [GNC] Problem install Finance::Quote
I just ran cpan -i Finance::Quote on my M1 MBP, macOS 14.4 beta. It looks like 14.4 bumps perl to 5.34 so it did a complete install of Finance::Quote's dependencies. Everything worked and /Library/Perl/5.34/LWP/Protocol doesn' include https.pm; http.pm provides https functionality. I think you might have gotten your Homebrew and Apple perls cross-threaded. Unless you've followed the bone-headed instructions in https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#my-mac-apps-dont-find-homebrew-utilities application bundles can't see Homebrew programs and under no circumstances can they see Homebrew libraries. If you did do the launchctl hack undo it. Then try creating a new admin user; that user will have a Homebrew-free clean environment in which you can safely use cpan, though you may need to first uninstall all of the cpan packages that you've installed with Homebrew present in your environment.

Restarting GnuCash or the computer? The accessibility bus message probably indicates that the DBUS session has quit for some reason. That part would be external to GnuCash. The assertion that's failing is about the result of count = g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func(dialog, gnc_xfer_dialog_response_cb, xferData); There should be exactly 1 handler using that gnc_xfer_dialog_response_cb connected to the signal. It there aren't either the transfer dialog is trying to run more than one instance (count > 1) or the the handler is already disconnected (count == 0). I don't think connecting or failing to connect to the accessibility bus would affect that, but I don't know what would cause it.

I upgraded a bunch of packages using the PackageKit GUI and offline update, and gnucash was one of them. Software Center indicated that the system was fully updated afterward.

Re: [GNC] Windows x64 release builds are missing
Considering that the last 32-bit processor from Intel was the Pentium 4E released in 2004 and the last AMD one was 2005's K5 it's a tiny minority. Regardless of Win11's ability to run 32-bit programs, it requires a 64-bit processor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications) so when Win10 goes out of support so does the need for 32-bit GnuCash builds. We're scheduled to release GnuCash 6 in January 2026 so that seems like the right time to make the switch.

Re: [GNC] Windows x64 release builds are missing
What development effort? It's already an option to build GnuCash on windows using MinGW64 instead of MinGW32 (setting aside that there's a Webkit problem with the Windows build so neither is possible right now). Most of the Linux distros are 64-bit only, though Debian insists on packaging everything for an insane array of hardware: 5.5 is built in unstable for alpha, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hppa, i386, mips64el, ppc64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x, and sparc64, see https://packages.debian.org/sid/gnucash.

Re: [GNC] Windows x64 release builds are missing
An x64 build will work only on 64-bit PCs, a 32-bit build works on both. Windows 11 doesn't support 32-bit and Windows 10, which does support 32-bit computers, goes end-of-life this May.

Re: [GNC] "Make PDF" button just prints
No. Gtk does its own drawing at a very low level using a library called Cairo. Cairo gets a buffer from the OS and puts a bitmap in it and the OS displays the bitmap.

I have a number of scheduled transactions that I use; one of them has multiple splits. With the new year, I needed to update this scheduled transaction. I began modifying the amounts on different lines of the transaction, and when I got to entering the contra account against which all the other splits would balance, I was surprised to find that the automatic calculation feature of Gnucash registers was not active.

No need to troubleshoot, that's already been done. This is https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799167, and is caused by a crash in WebKit's Javascript engine.

If you run file /usr/bin/perl it will return /usr/bin/perl: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e] /usr/bin/perl (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/perl (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e Which of those executables gets run depends on the environment from which it's run. The same is true of Terminal and your shell (bash or zsh). So if you start Terminal by double-clicking from Finder it uses the arm64e executable; that in turn starts a shell that also uses the arm64e executable. GnuCash is an x86_64 binary, so running it--even from an arm64e shell--fires up Rosetta2 and starts it in x86_64 translation. Modules' bundles are loaded using the standard C function dlopen(), and it can load only bundles that are the same architecture as the the program that calls it. All gnc-fq-update does is run cpan to install Test2 (which is pure perl and doesn't cause trouble), Finance::Quo

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.5 (macOS) can't get quotes, because it doesn't see JSON::Parse
developers
> for all the improvements in the 5.x versions!
Jim,
It matters which perl is invoked, because each "minor" perl version (minor in
quotes because just like GnuCash before we truncated the version to two digits,
perl's "major" version has been fixed since the turn of the century) gets it's
own versioned directories of modules.
It might also matter that one of the Perls is MacPorts because MacPorts might
install its perl modules in the MacPorts installation tree.
You can use
perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC), "\n"`
(include the quotes) in each environment to see where that perl is looking for
modules.
The value of $PATH is different when running from the command line in Terminal
and when launching an app with LaunchServices, either by using the `open`
command from a command line prompt or double-clicking the app's icon in Finder.
Your terminal command line's PATH can be changed by your shell's startup files
(e.g. ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile) but LaunchServices uses only the system's
default path, so the perl GnuCash.app sees is /usr/bin/perl and @INC will
include only the perl directories in /Library, /Network/Library, and
/System/Library. cpan, when run with sudo (and it won't work otherwise without
telling it to use a user space directory) installs to /Library/Perl//darwin-thread-multi-level, in your case
/Library/Perl/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-level.
You can force using that system perl on the command line by using the path
instead of just `perl`, e.g.
sudo /usr/bin/perl
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update
will force using the system perl and its builtin @INC as long as $PERL5LIB
isn't set in the environment.
Note that if your mac is an Apple Silicon one that you need to specify arch
x86_64, as in
sudo arch -arch x86_64 /usr/bin/perl
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update
(all on one line) because otherwise perl will build and install F::Q and
friends for Apple Silicon. GnuCash is built for Intel only because WebKitGtk
doesn't work when built for Apple Silicon and GnuCash will run an x86_64 perl
under Rosetta2; if a needed module isn't available for Intel then F::Q will
fail.

Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts selection is erased when modifying a saved report
It's a little more complicated than that. When you save a report configuration the accounts are saved as a list of account GUIDs. The new-for-5.x options system includes an accounts selector on all options dialogs and its default display doesn't include hidden accounts because they're hidden. Even if the selection list for the saved report configuration includes hidden accounts they won't be included in the selector and when you click apply or OK the callback for the accounts selector gets the new list and assumes that that's what the user wants, deselecting those hidden accounts. It has no way of knowing that the user didn't even look at the accounts page. The account depth can have a similar effect. It works (or maybe breaks) the other way, too: Several reports use filters to generate default account selection, but if you save a report configuration it saves the list of accounts that matched the filter at the time the configuration is saved. If you later create an account that would match that filter and open the saved report config the new account won't be automatically included. You have to manually add it in the report options then re-save the config. This isn't very satisfactory but I haven't figured out a good way to fix it.

Re: [GNC] Gnu cash Version 5.5 error message
Paras, The failure to install is probably down to the 5.4 problem of leaving the gnucash process running. The xmlIOFTPClose entry point problem is strange. It's optionally provided by libxml2 but MSYS-mingw doesn't build it in (neither does the macOS build). It's (also optionally) consumed by libxmlsec1, but again MSYS-mingw doesn't build with that option.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 5.5 Windows - included Net Worth Linechart report now crashes the UI
I've gotten it to crash for me in my VM. The stack trace says that it's crashing several dozen frames into the javascript engine. Unfortunately the MSYS build defaults to stripping the symbols so the trace doesn't tell me anything more. I'm rebuilding WebKitGtk with stripping turned off, but that will take a while... like a couple of days.

Re: [GNC] Gnu cash Version 5.5 error message
Paras, Sorry, I misinterpreted >> I find a message about lock file stating gnu cash instance is already running That's normal after a crash, which prevents GnuCash removing the lock file.

Re: [GNC] Import issue
Somebody commented out all of the DEBUG logging statements in import-backend.cpp so you'd need to uncomment them then build GnuCash yourself, after which you'd run it from the command line with --log gnc.import=debug to get the messages added to the tracefile. Dunno how enlightening that would be. FWIW the matching function starts at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/bf460b0040f8c9837cca198a9daba83a91c6c35b/gnucash/import-export/import-backend.cpp#L560. There is one other option besides importing the transaction as a new one: Don't import it at all by unchecking all three checkboxes in the match window.

I had the same problem yesterday. I worked around it by downloading a CSV of
the transactions from the account and importing that instead.
It's possible that it's just a glitch that will get corrected in a few days. If
not we'll need someone with Quicken and Wireshark to snarf the new secret
handshake.

[GNC] USAA OFX Direct Connect stopped working
Downloading transactions from USAA accounts stopped working for me today.
In the past I've been able to restore access by following the instructions
at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings#USAA and
getting an accessid from http://usaa.com/accessid or
https://df3cx-services.1fsapi.com/casm/usaa/enroll. However, now both of
those websites redirect to a page that returns the following in JSON:
{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "Validation error"
}
Does anyone know a workaround for this? Is there an updated URL I can use?

Re: [GNC] Linux Mint version of Gnucash 5.4 Stopped Generating Reports
It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that GnuCash can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using the GPU with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment. There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up somebody not paying close enough attention. The correct command is WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash with a space between flatpak and run. For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and aren't using Flatpak, say WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment some other way. Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely independent of GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash releases as early as 4.4. Also, while there is a known issue with Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by Nvidia Linux driver 535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that packagers can screw up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration regardless of GPU brand. All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk package so thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. There's a systemd journal crash on https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can use to recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still manifest in other distros.

It's one of several problems with packaging recent releases of WebKitGtk. To work around it run gnucash from the terminal app with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash You might also file a bug with the distro to encourage them to fix their webkitgtk package.

Does it work correctly if you request individual quotes from gnucash-cli, for
example
bin/gnucash-cli -Q dump tesouro_direto "Tesouro Prefixado 2026"

Most reports have a Price Source option that allows you to select how commodity prices and currency exchange rates are retrieved. Last up through report date, closest to report date, and Most recent use the indicated date filter to select a price from the pricedb.

Re: [GNC] Account reconciliation -- Gnucash's beginning balance is incorrect.
Well, it took some time, but the problem seems to be solved. I went back a couple of years and eventually found some errors associated with some fraudulent activity on my account. I also did some work fixing errors in an associated savings account. When I finished that, all my previously correct reconciled balances were wrong. So, I continued searching for errors, until all those reconciled balances agreed with my bank statements. I was finally able to balance my account for the current month, but the beginning balance in the reconcile window still showed a false, negative amount. Until this morning when I finally balanced last month (Oct 2023). Suddenly, that beginning balance is now correct. I still have no idea just what caused that false value to show up, but things are working correctly now.

Re: [GNC] the url "ghelp:gnucash-guide" does not point to a valid page, Ubuntu 22
It has nothing to do with browsers. ghelp was a private uri scheme used by Yelp, the Gnome Desktop documentation reader. It was retired several years ago when Gnome Desktop adopted the XDG standard. We were a bit slow on the uptake and didn't change the help links until 4.12 after Yelp dropped their backwards compatibility code. Unfortunately the new XDG help: scheme uses a new directory structure so simply changing the links, which are anyway hardcoded, won't make it start working.

The reconcile info dialog that comes up when you click the reconcile button has two balances: Starting balance and Ending balance. The first is the reconciled balance for the account, that is the sum of all of the splits in the account marked as reconciled. That's different from the opening balance, which is the amount in the account when you created it in GnuCash. The starting balance should match the starting balance on your statement. If it doesn't then there's a mistake in reconciling a previous statement and you need to either make a correcting entry in your account to get it to match or dig through previous statements to try to find the discrepancy. The Ending balance is what you should enter from your account statement or your bank's website. It defaults to the balance of the last transaction on the date you entered in the Reconciliation date entry. When you finish that dialog the reconcile window opens and in the lower left it shows the balances from the info window followed by Reconciled balance and Difference, which update as you tick off transactions in the two panes of the window; you should tick off the transactions that match your statement, paying close attention to the amounts: Reconciliation is all about making sure that there aren't any differences. Fix any differences in the register and press enter to commit the change and it will be immediately reflected in the reconcile window. Once you have marked all of the transactions the Ending and Reconciled balances should match, Difference should be 0, and the Finish button in the toolbar should be enabled. You might not have a transaction balance matching the reconciled balance if you have unbalanced transactions previous to the last reconciled one. The "R" column between Transfer Account and Debit/Deposit shows each transaction's reconciled status: y for reconciled, n for unreconciled, c for cleared, and v for voided. You can use the the Status page of View>Filter By... to hide transactions by status. Finding reconciliation discrepancies from previous statements can be extremely tedious and GnuCash doesn't have any tools to help. There's not even a way to display historical reconciled balances. When it comes to fixing discrepancies remember that banks can make errors too, but you need documentation and time to get the bank to make corrections. It's up to you to decide whether to pursue getting the bank to fix their mistake or to take the hit and adjust your accounts to match the bank's.

Re: [GNC] Account reconciliation -- Gnucash's beginning balance is incorrect.
Thanks for replying. However, it doesn't work out as being okay. When I use the */actions/reconcile/ *menu choice to reconcile my account, that false beginning balance is factored into the final balance. Where it should be zero difference between cleared and reconciled balances, there is a false number. How is that beginning balance calculated? If I can check on the numbers that are used to calculate the beginning balance, I should be able to find the mistake that is generating that error.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 5.4 - reports does not work
This is down to one or both of two decisions by separate developers. The earlier one that first surfaced on Flatpak is that WebKitGtk turned on accelerated graphics by default. Unfortunately the GL library packaged in Gnome 42 and later doesn't play well with many of Nvidia's drivers. The more recent problem is that libepoxy decided to require GLES, dropping support for GL. It appears that some distro packagers didn't get the memo about that. Both affect any program using WebKitGtk, most notably Gnome Web aka Epiphany. The generic sledgehammer fix to either problem is to tell WebKit to use Cairo for drawing instead of GL by setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment. This will obviously draw more slowly as it uses the CPU instead of the GPU, but better to draw slowly than not at all. Users afflicted by the first problem might be able to get it working by fiddling with the installed Nvidia drivers depending on the model of their GPU and what drivers are available for their distro and kernel version. The second issue is a packaging one and users are encouraged to file bug reports with their distros to get it fixed. Depending on how the distro's packager built libepoxy it might be possible to fix it by installing whatever package supplies libGLESv2, but not all distros have one. The RedHat bug that surfaced the problem is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2240428.

Any hints > as to where to look would be appreciated. I guess you mean that you included a currency account in the APR accounts as the APR doesn't have anything labelled "cash balance". Acting on that guess I tried it and found that the report logic apparently has no special-casing for an account in the report currency so it goes looking for a price in the pricedb. Of course it won't find anything for USD-USD, so it looks for a two-step conversion, USD->XXX->USD, comes up with something, and proceeds to use that something to generate nonsense for the rest of the line. While it's not hard to think of same-currency accounts that would make sense to be included in the APR--a certificate of deposit comes immediately to mind--it's also easy to think of cases where that could only produce nonsense, starting with your brokerage cash account. Figuring out the "basis" and separating out the sweep or money-market income from changes due to trades and inflows from other holdings would be inordinately complex. For the true currency investment like a CD or even a savings account you can work around the pricing fail and generate a meaningful line in the APR by inventing a security. That's technically correct for Money Market funds, where you own units in the fund and the managers exert a great deal of effort to keep the price of those units at $1.00, which effort is not always successful.

[GNC] How to use refunds or credit notes
I have a situation where I have charged say$2 008 in an invoice. After posting, the customer correctly told me that the invoice should have been $2 000. The invoice has already been correctly paid at $2 000 and payment due date has already happened. When processing the payment, I entered $8 in the refund and the invoice changed to $2 000 as one would expect. After processing the payment, I still had the $8 to process in the process payment window. How do I properly process this?

Re: [GNC] Bulk invoice printing
I am unsure if I have pressed the right buttons in replying to Adrien and Arek and everyone else on the list. Please let me know. If printing is your only issue, I suggest that you make pdfs of your invoices through Gnucash and store them all in the same folder. When you go to print, use file explorer, go to the pdf folder where your invoices are stored and select which pdf files you want to print. Then, right click on one of the selected files and left click on *print*. All selected files should print individually for you on your default printer. Cheers John On 17/10/2023 12:30 pm, Adrien Monteleone wrote: No, that won't work. This is a long standing bug/enhancement request. Your best bet is to use an outside invoice generating system, and then import the resulting transactions into GnuCash. You can then still manage individual payments and member statements of account in GnuCash. (Customer Reports) While there are specialized invoicing apps and services, you could likely accomplish this with an office suit using a spreadsheet for the math and data, and a word processor to do a data & mail merge for the actual printable invoice. You then import a CSV from the spreadsheet into GnuCash with the invoice data. See the Help & Guide for the CSV import template.

It would make life much easier if we could print those invoices in bulk rather than going from one member to the next. If there is such a feature, I haven't been able to find it. I'm not a programmer, but I suspect the easiest way to accomplish this would be to start from the invoice register (revenue account) and printing all entries within a specified date range using one of the invoice templates. Is this possible? ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Bad date not caught

They do, and adding that check is part of what I pushed yesterday: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/44c278a82c692b5b591eccaf052952b3cd248084 But the rest of that function is a bit goofy and regardless strptime is very fussy: If you tell it to parse the date with %m/%d/%Y and pass in--as Fred did--5.19.21--it will return NULL indicating that the parse failed. We can do much better.
