Geert: As a follow-up, I installed via flathub on my production system (Ubuntu 18.04). I installed flatpak using the flathub-recommended PPA, then removed the Ubuntu GnuCash version 2.6.19 package and installed the flatpak. It's not running correctly. Lots of "No such language" errors. I pinged

Re: [GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

Thank you. Guess that means there's no reason why using a css file to adjust fonts, color, etc. won't work, even though my preference page is not available to me so I'll pursue that... Regardless, much thanks for making the 3.6 version available on flatpak, everything else in the program works

Hi Randix, The first line in there hints at the issue: the settings portal is missing. If I understand correctly that portal is provided by the xdg-desktop-portal package on linux. Is it installed on your pixel in their linux subsystem ? Note that on Chromebooks the linux support itself is an

despite the error it does start up GnuCash, however, the preference page still is totally non-responsive. When you try and change ANY option, it doesn't allow you do so, totally non-responsive. i wasn't really worried about it cause i thought an appropriate css file would be a good enuf

Re: [GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

Geert: 1. With regard to Gnucash not only filling the screen, but going off the screen, etc., etc., I did solve that problem by making adjustments in the display settings of the chromebook. Looks great, what a vacation for my eyes after squinting at GnuCash all these years. 2. With regard to

Re: [GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

Based on this discussion I decided to try the flatpak on a Ubuntu Disco 19.04 system. (The work system with my critical GnuCash data is Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 LTS.) I haven't done any testing with real data, but I found it easy to install. Apparently the flatpak found a GnuCash test data file

Re: [GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

Regarding the settings, this section in the flatpak documentation is probably relevant: http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html#dconf-access I haven't figured it all out yet, but it seems flatpak itself is in a state of transition from using external dconf access to using a

Hi Randix, You probably mean "available on Flathub". I have published an update there to bring gnucash to version 3.6. The errors in your suggest you don't have the proper permissions to install the newer flatpaks from flathub. So you likely have to either run the given command with elevated

Re: [GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

There are two different locations to get gnucash flatpaks: 1. our nightly builds: these are currently on a poor bandwidth server and for testing purposes only as you describe clearly 2. Flathub.org: this is a central flatpak repository for stable software releases. The last couple of days I

[GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

So I need any assistance, suggestions. I have a Google Pixel Chromebook, and 1-2 years ago I successfully installed GnuCash Version 3.2 on it, via Flatpak, that has worked fine 90%. I have a zillion backups of my data. Earlier today I saw an email that Geert sent out, indicating (I think) that
