Thanks for all the references, particularly for reminding me to check the trace file. Unfortunately, the only error messages logged in the trace file were at the beginning of the process: * 09:31:56 ERROR <gnc.app-utils> gnc_process_get_fd: assertion 'proc' failed * 09:31:56 ERROR <gnc.app-utils> gnc_detach_process: assertion 'proc && proc->pid' failed I am reluctant to venture into gdb, much less compiling GC myself, but perhaps these lines at the end of the trace file give a hint to which part of the XML file is giving "Check & Repair" indigestion: * 10:07:41 INFO <gnc.engine.scrub> [xaccAccountScrubImbalance] Finished processing split 113 of 304 * 10:07:41 INFO <gnc.engine.scrub> [xaccAccountScrubImbalance] Start processing split 114 of 304 Is there any way for me to identify what part of the XML file "split 114 of 304" corresponds to? Given that GC was started several times by mistake when price update were running on the same file, I suspect that the bad records are in the price history part of the DB. I can readily do without the price history if there is some way of migrating all of the transactions to the new file version.
Of course I ran 3.11 on a copy. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2022 11:27:05 +1000 From: David Cousens <davidcousen...@gmail.com> To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: <e6dfa7a35a82915a878c236aec9861298e059e6b.ca...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Try the following to get more information. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows_Debugging https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace Without more information no-one is going to be able to help much.

Now I have all of that data under one customer and a customer entry now called "Reuse me" for next time I have a new customer. I see Derek said its by design, but it caught me too.

Perhaps try a 3.x flatpak? Otherwise, if you haven't yet jumped from 18.04 to 22.04 maybe an interim stop at 20.04 will get you GnuCash 3.x. (Can you even go directly from 18.04 to 22.04? I didn't think it would even give you the option) Be sure to review the Wiki about upgrading. You'll need to run Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All at each upgrade of a major version. Regards, Adrien << Thanks for the tips! I came across the Flatpak possibility, but was dissuaded by the apparent complexity of the description at: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak David's suggestion: >> Another approach to consider is using the 20.04 (focal) live ISO. Just put the ISO on a USB and boot from that, then install gnucash in the live environment, and using that to convert your gnucash data to version 3. That way you don't have to try to install different versions on either 18.04 or 22.04. << sounded easier since I had already made a boot disk for Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS. Unfortunately, that didn't work. I was able to boot from the live DVD and install GC 3.8. However, when I tried to run Check & Repair All, following your suggestion, it never finished. Check & Repair gives no indication of its progress in either 2.16.9 or in 3.8. The menu bar and toolbar flash occasionally while Check & Repair is running, but the only indication that it isn't done is that the menu cannot be operated and there is no indication of it having finished. In the live Ubuntu Studio 20.04 environment, the GUI would become unresponsive if inactive for as little as 15 minutes, even after I disabled all suspend, screen lock and screen saver features, making it difficult to just let Check & Repair run as long as necessary. After that the DVD would start working overtime. I have had a similar problem with the GUI becoming unresponsive in my freshly installed US 22.04, but only if I leave it idle on the login screen. At this point I plan to try installing GC 3.8 on a Windows PC to do the file conversion.

I still have a working Ubuntu 18.04 installation, so I thought I might find GnuCash 3.8 in a backport repository. However, I have only found it in focal (1:3.8b-1build4) and focal-updates (1:3.8b-1ubuntu1). What is the difference between 3.8b-1build4 and 3.8b-1ubuntu1? Would it be safe to install either of these GC versions in either Ubuntu 18.04 or 22.04?

I was running GC 2.6.19 under Ubuntu Studio 18.04 and I have read on this mailing list that I will need to migrate to GC v 3.x before I can migrate to GC 4. I would therefore like to install GC 3.8b. What is the easiest way to do this? Is there a repository I can add to Discover that I can pull it (or at least some stable 3.x version) from? << ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2022 06:25:03 -0500 From: Adrien Monteleone <adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> To: gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: <tefjaf$11i8$4...@ciao.gmane.io> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed The Check & Repair is to be done after each major version upgrade. Since you're getting a crash, (on more than one data file?) I'd recommend obtaining the output the devs are looking for using the links David sent. (all documented on the Wiki) I don't know if they need just the Windows info, or if obtaining the same on Ubuntu will help too. Then submit a bug report on Bugzilla: bugs.gnucash.org. You'll need to register an account there first of course. Describe the crash and attach the requested files.
