Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

2022-12-17 Thread David H
Yeah I had issues with Ubuntu 20.04 as per your email - I think I fixed the
canberra-gtk module error by installing it as per
https://itslinuxfoss.com/fix-failed-load-module-canberra-gtk-module-error/

I also have an NVidia video card in one of my pc's and had issues with
Ubuntu 20.04 or 20.10 - finally blew it away and did a fresh install of
22.10 from memory.

Cheers David H.

*WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_**MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash*

did get it working, although there are numerous errors about

*Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"*

and tons of source files being newer than the compiled version.

Then after running

Dave,

Check this out, there was an issue on Ubuntu 20.04 with Flatpak 8-9 months
ago  -
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398945/why-have-my-gnucash-reports-stopped-working
- there's a couple of bug reports linked there that provide a lot of
detail.  Basically the answer was to run Flatpak Update 1 or more times to
update all dependencies and if that doesn't fix the issue try the other
work around -

Try running GnuCash from terminal like this:

  WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash

That will disable OpenGL rendering in Webkit.

Cheers David H.

My problem is not limited to just the documentation though. If I click on
Business-> Customer Overview
(Menu from memory, as now using an iPhone, not near a computer)

then click on a customer, a blank page comes up, that looks very similar to
the page I attached.I don’t see either

1) A list of transactions OR
2) A message that there are no transactions.

I am wondering if some package is missing that is called to display things.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

2022-12-16 Thread David Cousens
David,
I have the docs for 4.11  (i just haven't yet downloaded the 4.12 documentation
release) built and installed and I'm currently running 4.12 of the program. When
I request Help or the Guide from the Help Menu in GnuCash , yelp comes up with
the following message "Document not found: The URI ‘help:gnucash-help/index’
does not point to a valid page.". 

I will download the 4.12 docs and rebuild them to see if that fixes the problem,
which it did. 
 The 4.12 installs to "/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-guide" and
"/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-help" not to the usr/local/share gnome/help "
directory and then yelp successfully finds the uris.

To build the docs I down loaded
from 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.12/gnucash-docs-4.12.tar.gz
 and extracted the "gnucash-docs-4.12" from the tar.gz file to a directory under
my home directory then opened a terminal in that gnucash-docs-4.12 directory
then used the following commands
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DWITH_MOBI=On ../
ninja
sudo ninja install
After that all is working as expected

AFAIK you can now only configure the build with cmake (and not make) after V 4.7
of the docs. 
Both ninja-build and cmake have to be installed to build the docs ("sudo apt
install cmake" then "sudo apt install ninja-build" at the terminal prompton
Linux Mint)

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

2022-12-16 Thread R Losey
My docs are also blank; I was told that they were installed to a different
place than where they were expected to be... but I don't think anyone told
me... I was hoping to create a symbolic link for the correct path.  It
would be nice to get it working with docs on my Linux box, but I use online
when I need it.

I didn't use flatpack... when I did a fresh install, it used 4.08, which is
pretty close, I think.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

The documentation has to be downloaded and installed separately on Linux. It is
not packaged with the program in most cases. https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml.
I think running nin

Even when installed yelp does not seem to find the location from within the
GnuCash program. It appears to be looking for a HTML index file and not the xml
format that yelp uses by default. In a normal install of the documnetation it is
installed to "/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-guide" and
"/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-help". If I start yelp in a terminal and
point it to these location the guide and help manual open in yelp, but not when
yelp is opened from within GnuCash itself (GnuCash 4.12 on Linux Mint 22). It is
likely that an environment variable has not been correctly setup . 

I avoid this totally by accessing the online html versions of the help manual
and the guide from https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/help.html and
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/index.html in a browser when I
need to.

[GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux

2022-12-16 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
I have a Dell 7920 tower workstation with 2 x 26-core CPUs and 384 GB RAM.
Ubuntu 20.04 and GnuCash 4.12 are installed.

I used the 'flatpack' installation method,
https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/07/install-gnucash-4-0-ubuntu-20-04-18-04/
which gets the latest version, rather than the older official Ubuntu
version.

The problem is, many of the windows that I know display things on Windows
laptop with GnuCash, are just blank on Linux. Neither the Help -> Tutorial
and Concepts Guide or Help -> Contents show anything whatsoever - see
attachment. Customer reports give a similar screen.
