Jack,
You've heard it twice, and I'll repeat myself: go read at least the Basics
section of the Tutorial.
It covers LITERALLY every issue you've raised thus far.
Once you've read those chapters, I think you'll be clearer about Gnucash and
its use.

I was having the same problem, here's what I did to get alphavantage to show
up in the source list:
Uncheck "Get Online Quotes" for all of the securities, then restart GnuCash.
Go back to the Security Editor and alphavantage should now show up.
Hopefully it works for everyone having this problem.
I've been able to obtain quotes from the Treasury Direct (treasurydirect.gov)
for a while, until 2017-12-12. Does anyone know if the interface of this
site has changed lately?
I know I'll have to investigate to update my Perl code to get these, but

There’s no discount. Now or in the future. You’re going to buy items from that
merchant in the future at their then current price, not less than that price.
There’s no rebate. You aren’t paying full price and getting money back.
You handed the merchant $430.
They handed you back $500.
I think I'm getting that understanding a little bit. Thanks!

That's actually where I started this journey :-) I upgraded from OpenSuSE LEAP 42.2 to

Hello Dan.
The gnome repository is not part of the "official release" distro for
42.3. You could try this, nothing to lose except maybe some time:
Uninstall the 2.6.16-98.1 version. Uninstall any other version of
GnuCash you currently have installed, regardless of where you got it
from. Now instal
Hi Jack,
I'm also a convert about a year ago to GNUCash. They are *all* real

really in expenses where most of the category accounts lie. I have my

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll get to that and read thru. Then if I am a typical Quicken fool I'll be
back for more direction!
I'm wondering then if there is a way to designate the "real" accounts in
the massive Account Listing so i can see/sort or make those stand out from
the "non-real" accounts
It's out of the GNOME repository on opensuse.org:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/
For me, both versions crash when I try to run a report from my primary data file

I dropped Quicken finally and have been trying GC for a few days. So far it

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.
GnuCash 2.6 uses an obsolete version of the WebKit library that hasn’t been
updated in several years. It shouldn’t be used for anything besides GnuCash
because it has a huge number of known exploits that have been fixed in the
current WebKit2. T

The crash appears to be a webkit problem that’s triggered by a report you left
open when you quit GnuCash the last time you were using the data. If you remove
the .gcm file in ~/.gnucash/books corresponding to the file that’s causing
trouble GnuCash will open it with only the Accounts tab open.
David,
Now that you mention it, indeed :blush:
There were two elements I wanted to bring up:
- perhaps the starting balance was entered backwards (due to starting from the
Equity account instead of the bank account)

With regard to the case where you are paid in advance for work not yet
completed a similar treatment could apply. If you were to issue an invoice

If you think about it, 12 columns of, say, 8 digits each will take about 9
times 12 or 108 characters aacross. That could well not even fit on your
