Re: [GNC] No Disk error

2018-12-13 Thread Elzorillo
Hi

I had the exact same error message appear today also..

W7 with updates switched off so no changes overnight. No updates or changes
to the software at all. Running GC 3.3.

The error appears for me when I select custom options in reports and I
discovered also it was caused by a load of empty SD drives on the system.
I'd love to know how it just randomly started today.

Anyway.. my solution was as listed in a link above using the reg
modification. 

-
Locate the following registry entry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL\MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

Select ErrorMode. Double-click on it to edit the value, change the value to
2
--

Would love to know what triggered GC to start looking at all available
drives.

Ed

As Colin suggested, I Googled the error message. [Silly of me not to 
look beyond the gnucash archives.]  I've summarized the 3 suggested 
solutions which I tried, and I also have a thought for consideration 
by the developers.


First, I have a Dell XPS from 2010 that came with *4* memory card 
reader slots that I have never used (before today). It is running 
Windows 7.  For every GnuCash 3.x (including a couple of recent 3.2 
maintenance releases) I see the following.
If I select "Import transactions from CSV...", I have to cancel 24 no 
disk pop-up windows (6 for each slot) to continue.  This happens every 
time I try to import transactions. I don't want to be a whiner, but it 
quickly becomes annoying.


Here's what I tried that worked.
1) Keep media in the drives.  I scrounged through a box of old stuff 
and found a compact flash card.  Inserting that into the reader 
eliminated the error for that slot.  Woo-Hoo.  Only 18 pop-ups to 
cancel.  I presume if I fill all the slots, the errors will disappear 
entirely.


2) Disable each drive that causes a problem.  I opened the Device 
Manager in the control panel. The item "Disk drives" lists all the 
drives on the machine including those for the memory cards. Disabling 
a drive eliminates the error for that drive.  If I disable every 
memory card drive, all the pop-ups are eliminated.


3) Hack the registry.  Go to the registry entry
"Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows"
The default value of of the DWORD "ErrorMode" is "0".  Change 
"ErrorMode" to "2".  Pop-ups gone. The following link gives more 
explanation
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/124873/disabling-system-hard-error-message-dialog-boxes 


I pasted the following advice from that page.
"To run an unattended server, use mode 2. The default value is 0."
The implication being one will have to make a visit to the previously 
unattended server to click on the pop-ups in the event of an error 
since the server will hang until they are cleared.


Here's my humble thought for consideration by the developers.  If I'm 
reading the documentation correctly (a big if), the state of ErrorMode 
can be controlled programmatically on a per process basis via the 
Windows API.  I think it might solve the problem if sometime shortly 
after Gnucash starts, it calls "SetErrorMode(SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX)".  
Below is a link to the description of the Windows function 
SetErrorMode().
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680621(v=vs.85).aspx 

Assuming it works, perhaps you would consider adding that to the 
Windows port?

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest it is a Micro$oft

run a real os ), barring power outages out here in the sticks.

I do not know how many updates my computer installed since its last
reboot but; I do know that I have had trouble for the last week
accessing usb drives.  Part of the time they exist and part of time they
don't according to windoze.

Not much help but; a little more information.

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest it is a Micro$oft 
"upgrade" problem.  My home Winoze server is up 24/7 (yes I know, ughh 
run a real os ), barring power outages out here in the sticks.

I do not know how many updates my computer installed since its last 
reboot but; I do know that I have had trouble for the last week 
accessing usb drives.  Part of the time they exist and part of time they 
don't according to windoze.

Not much help but; a little more information.

Re: [GNC] No Disk error

Another data point.  I experience the same problem with GnuCash 3.2 on 
Windows 7 when I select "Import transactions from CSV..." under import 
in the file menu.  The behavior is identical to what was described.

load from the new location. THEN Safely Eject and remove the SD card.

Otherwise, some sort of bug is at play.

I haven't looked into a work around yet, but I agree its highly annoying.


I figure I'll need to uninstall my SD card readers in order to stop the alerts.
