I have been trying for 5 days now to chunk Quicken and start using gnucash. ANY CLUES will be sincerely appreciated.
The immediate problem I am trying to solve: Quicken export to qif of accounts/categories "seems" to complete - but nothing visible in gnucash. Quicken export to qif of tranactions seems to work also. (large). *But gnucash import of even a limited qif data to 2001, gets to the final import stage and gnucash dies with no error. Sometime in late QIF import - before matching step.* Naturally I try to get a debug log but the ONLY way I was able to make anything happen was (I pulled the startup command from the .desktop entry): /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gnucash --file-forwarding org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug (and added --debug) This does not put a trace/debug file anywhere I can find. Definitely not in /tmp. I next tried specifying the logto option with /tmp/gnucash.trace or ~/gnucash.trace The trace goes neither place. Running this: /usr/bin/flatpak run --command=gnucash --file-forwarding org.gnucash.GnuCash --debug gcashdata_3.gnucash (I had to remove the branch and arch options that are in the desktop entry (which I copied from above) to even get his outputof warnings) and then doing the qif import, results in about 40 lines of: (gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Negative content width -2147483648 .... while allocating gadget (node progress, owner GtkProgressBar) and (gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: timestamp: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. did you forget to allocate a size? (node progress, owner GtkProgressBar) Whether this results in the actual crash, I have no idea. OTHER BACKGROUND ON WAY TO HERE ... Whenever gnucash is started, I get the Gtk messages as follows: Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: timestamp" Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" I tried all manner of suggestions of loading appmenu-gtk/2/3 and libcanberra-gtk/2/3 etcand reinstalling each. all said they were installed and all re-installs also completed without error. But did not get rid of the messge. The machine is a core-i3 with 4GB of RAM and a large drive - so space should not be an issue. But it is an Inspiron 13 - set at 1080p resoultion. Why GNCash ... I like what I see and have read the pdfs of documentation and played around with examples. (BTW, I am a 49 year - before retiring veteran of computer science with a PhD in Comp Sci and Electronics. I have 6 Xubuntu Linux machines at home in addition to a couple of hated Win10 achines.) So I have 23 years of history in my Quicken data. I have run the Quicken Repair options, and they say all is well. Quicken (latest) export to qxf crashes. So I can't try gnucash import of qxf. First I am running for this machine Pop!_OS versus Xubuntu as it will be my wife's and she is better with GUI. AND I have ordered a System76 Pop!_OS laptop to replace my failing (screen) Dell Inspiron 15. _______________________________________________ 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.
