I have the flatpak install on Ubuntu, and 1.49 was fine, but better is the enemy of good enough. I downloaded and extracted, but was not sure how to install. I googled up https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/finance-quote-install.html and https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/finance-quote-helper.html#gnc-fq-update.
I ran the sudo on the flatpak gnc-fq-update (sudo /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/98bea86b69a63cc6ed5a1854344d115a683d6cee7ca56b81e7210f2da2706d88/files/bin/gnc-fq-update), but out of paranoia said 'yes', and it is still busy installing CPAN for, I guess, everything perl! I am not sure what their canary was telling me, but I said 'y' to continue, too! Compiling and then installing a bunch of stuff now! 40 odd minutes so far! I am not sure it is wise to interrupt it! Wow, 48 minutes and it says: Appending installation info to /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.34.0/perllocal.pod BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.52.tar.gz /usr/bin/make install -- OK Maybe it is not so slow if you say no. How does it normally find where I loaded the new modules? The docs might say what is different for flatpak, as that is the only way to get/run newer Ubuntu LTS gnucash bits. I am wondering if the Finance Quote update could be a lot more user friendly and automatic, like under the usual 3 or 4 kinds of update: Ubuntu Software, flatpak, snap, ...? So is my 1.52 as good as 1.53? Did I need to download anything? It still runs 1.49, too! flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli org.gnucash.GnuCash --quotes get /home/dgp/GnuCash/ubuntu-DGPickett.gnucashF: X11 socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 does not exist in filesystem, trying to use abstract socket instead. ** (process:229798): WARNING **: 17:27:21.672: Failed to connect to bus: Could not connect: Connection refusedFound Finance::Quote version 1.49. How to get it to see a newer version? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
