I saw the message on GnuCash not working on an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04.
Just wanted to say that it works on a fresh install. I wanted to go 24.04,
so did a fresh install than restored /home from backups. While that works,
if you have a lot of customized packages installed instead of just things
from the Ubuntu Software store or snaps - it can get hard to maintain. For
me, Rocksmith 2014 under Steam just doesn't work on 24.04 - so there are
broken things. But GnuCash was pretty cool (other than reports not
displaying).
