   Thanks Colin and all, but in the end I managed to compile from source
   and it started first time!  I had wanted to do this originally but had
   problems with guille.

   All I've got to do now is learn the damn thing.

Oh, you mean Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS.  You say you installed using
dpkg, do you mean apt-get install? If you used dpkg where did you get
the deb file?
To give us more information what do see if you run in a terminal:
apt-cache policy gnucash

But first run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
which will make sure everything is up to date (dist-upgrade does not
try to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu, it just makes sure
everything is up to date for that version). Obviously report if that
shows any errors.

If you are running Slackware, installing an Ubuntu package would explain
your trouble, because they don't use the same package system.

You mentioned using dpkg in the other thread, and that's the Debian or
Ubuntu command to use when you have either downloaded or compiled
individual packages, but it can be a crude implement -- you may have
accidentally overrode the package manager's recommendations. You will find
apt is much more helpful about making sure all the pieces are in place.

Did you try installing gnucash using the apt command as mentioned in the
other thread? Using the Ubuntu Software tool would work, too.

Re: gnucash coredump gnome

2017-12-19 Thread Tommy Trussell
Hi -- you must mean Ubuntu.

If you used dpkg you probably didn't install all the dependencies.

I suggest these two terminal commands first

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Watch the output of those for errors. If you see any, you'll want to
correct them.

Then to get all of gnucash installed, you might try

sudo apt install gnucash

When that gets all the dependencies in, the application should work.

You might also want the documentation and python bindings:

sudo apt install gnucash-docs python-gnucash

Welcome.

At the end of your log is a tantalizing start of an error message from GIO, 
"Sett...".
Can you look at the tail of the trace file [1] and see if the whole thing is 
there?
If not, start GnuCash from a terminal, it should show up there.

Regards,
John Ralls

could you repeat the strace using longer strings (using e.g. strace -s
200)

the whole error message get's cut:

write(3, "* 19:18:00 OTHER  Sett"..., 83) = 83
--- SIGTRAP {si_signo=SIGTRAP, si_code=SI_KERNEL} ---
+++ killed by SIGTRAP (core dumped) +++

seems to be related to GLib-GIO..
