I used to run Gnucash 2.6.12 in Ubuntu 14.04 . I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 . During the upgrade I was asked if I wanted to keep several Gnucash files/piece of information – one of which was the Alpha Advantage API key . I replied that I did .
The upgrade appeared to have finished successfully . All of the programmes/applications worked but with one exception – Gnucash. The Gnucash loading screen and the tip of the day showed up for a several seconds and both disappeared again. I then decided to install Gnucash from the Ubuntu Software centre – hoping that this would be compatible with 16.04 . So I removed the existing Gnucash using the Ubuntu Software centre and installed Gnucash . This failed in the same way - the Gnucash loading screen and the tip of the day showed up for a several seconds and both disappeared again. I found from research that Ubuntu repositories usually contain a version of Gnucash that is a release or two behind the latest stable version and that Gnucash 2.6.12 is included in Ubuntu 16.04 – this is the same Gnucash version as I was using in Ubuntu 14.04 . I give below the terminal output when I tried to run Gnucash : jm@jm-OptiPlex-9020:~$ gnucash ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable. ;;; compiling /usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/business-gnome.scm ;;; compiling /usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/business-reports.scm ;;; WARNING: compilation of /usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/business-reports.scm failed: ;;; ERROR: In procedure #<procedure 5611372c8120 ()>: Unbound variable: gnc:menuname-business-reports ;;; WARNING: compilation of /usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/business-gnome.scm failed: ;;; ERROR: In procedure #<procedure 561136e6f180 ()>: Unbound variable: gnc:menuname-business-reports Backtrace: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 157: 11 [catch #t #<catch-closure 561135f66c00> ...] In unknown file: ?: 10 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 561135f66c00>] ?: 9 [call-with-input-string "(gnc:report-menu-setup)" ...] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 2401: 8 [save-module-excursion #<procedure 56113692ecc0 at ice-9/eval-string.scm:65:9 ()>] In ice-9/eval-string.scm: 44: 7 [read-and-eval #<input: string 56113740f1a0> #:lang ...] 37: 6 [lp (gnc:report-menu-setup)] In gnucash/report/report-gnome.scm: 155: 5 [gnc:report-menu-setup] In unknown file: ?: 4 [gnc-hook-run "hook_report" ()] In ice-9/eval.scm: 387: 3 [eval # #] 387: 2 [eval # #] 393: 1 [eval #<memoized gnc:menuname-business-reports> #<directory # 561137149870>] In unknown file: ?: 0 [memoize-variable-access! # #] ERROR: In procedure memoize-variable-access!: ERROR: Unbound variable: gnc:menuname-business-reports jm@jm-OptiPlex-9020:~$ -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
