WaltD You did not say whether you are using the release of GnuCash that is found in the software offered by Ubuntu or a newer release from Get Deb or yet another package. Please name the release that you are using and whether you also installed all the supplemental packages required for Aqbanking. See the FAQ on the website for more information.
You will almost always see that error messeage when reopening a file after a crash. Usually you choose open anyway unless you think that the file is open on a different computer. As for the cause of the crash, it is necessary to know which version that you have before someone here can suggest what to try next. Good luck.
