Hi Gordon, I'm glad you got it figured out. There were a few things I wanted to add to your message: 1. While I am happy we now have the flatpak option it's relatively new and has a few important drawbacks: * It can't fetch online quotes yet (Finance::Quote is still missing in the flatpa

Just figured it out. The gnucash data file loads more quickly when it is located on the C: drive itself, instead of being on a shared folder elsewhere. So I moved the .xml file from the VirtualBox shared folder on Ubuntu 16 to the C: drive in the Windows 7 VM. The reports also load more quickly.

OK; Outstanding, this works like a charm. On Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) the GnuCash installation created: C:\Users\$USER\.gnucash There is also: C:\Users\$USER\.AppData\Local... \LocalLow ...\Roaming When I copy the files from the linux installation at: $user/.gnucash to C:\Users\$USER\.gnucash,

Gordon, GnuCash files are completely portable between operating systems. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup for the details of which files need to be copied. The code to upgrade the saved reports and similar stuff kicks is driven by the location of the files, so copy your 2.6 config file

Hello, John, I'm up and running on Windows 7 in a VirtualBox host, which should work because that's the same machine which runs the tax and compliance software (CCH). I'm turning compression off for now, and saving it as an xml file without the gzip. I'll try to transfer over my reports from the

Great, thank you, that helps. This is probably also a problem with gnucash 2.6.12 on ubuntu 16. When I now launch gnucash --nofile --debug it appears to hang on the opening screen and does not complete launch, so there is no menu to open files. My guess is that something went wrong in upgrading

The XML file is (optionally, see Preferences>General) compressed with gzip. You might try reopening the database and see if it still takes 20 minutes. ISTR that there was a database upgrade somewhere around 2.6.12 and if so it would take a while to create the new tables, copy all of the records

OK, will do. This is interesting. I moved the file to a Windows 7 machine, and opened it with GnuCash 2.6.21. It did read the sqlite3 file, but it took a long time, probably 20 minutes or so. After it opened, I saved it as an xml file. GnuCash does open the .xml file more quickly, so perhaps I
