Re: Finally ready to move from Windoze to Unix, suggestions of flavor of Unix to use

It looks like the driver for the RealTek controller is proprietary, so you'll have to go through some extra steps to get it working. For starters, check out this: https://unixblogger.com/2016/08/11/how-to-get-your-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-working-updated-guide/ and the top answer to this: https://as

Finally ready to move from Windoze to Unix, suggestions of flavor of Unix to use

I realize this is the wrong forum to ask but; I am finally looking to ditch Windoze 10 completely. I am at my wits end trying to get ubuntu to work with my system. I have tried every post I can find on activating the ethernet and wifi, none of which work. I have an iBUYPOWER intel core I5 comp

This is correct. It does not matter which link from GnuCash.org you click, you always get a .dmg if you click the link from Mac, a .bz if you click the link from Linux and an .exe if you click the link from Windows. (I suppose you could spoof the user browser’s agent as proof, but is that reall

Re: how to download

As Colin noted, Source Forge does not appear to honor the /last part of the link that is supposed to be pointing to the Windoze setup file if the user is coming from Linux. From Ubuntu it took me to a page that had a link to download the tarball under the green button. However, if I scroll down t

The green button may have been broken for a while in the last couple of days, but it worked for me when I first selected to download the windows version from the gnucash webpage then use the green button to download the setup file a few seconds ago. On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 3:31 PM, Colin Law wrot

Perhaps Mike has not seen the Source Forge webpage before. Just start from the website. Then select Download GnuCash. Select the version for your operating system. If it is Windows you get taken to the Source Forge download page. That shows a fancy list of folders with

Welcome to GnuCash! Unfortunately, everyones needs, even for a ’simple’ case of being an online seller are all very different. I put ’simple’ in quotes, because there is no such single thing as “online seller.” Each business is different. I have four e-commerce clients and each one is different

With the current release of GnuCash (2.6.19) and earlier the CSV import assistant is very fussy, especially wrt date format. It does not remember settings either so you have to be very careful to get everything right for each file. The default date format is not the format used in the United Stat

Thanks for getting back to me. Everywhere I clicked to download the program when I was on the gnucash website it took me to that blasted Sound Forge site. But I was able to download it from another site and I look forward to setting it up and seeing what it can do. On 3/12/2018 10:33 PM, Dave
