Use a skript to run the paket manager automatlcaly by crontab. I do that on a Bunch of Linux machines without problems. Next, the Linux side is slow and uses a lot of system resources. Chromebooks are not designed to run apps. Now, the biggest headache. Gnucash needs it's data file to be local, so I have to download the data to my Chromebook, then upload it to my computer when I return home. Have you tried NFS (Network Filesystem)? The Data emains home and you can use it as if it were on your Laptop. In sum, running Gnucash solely on a Chromebook can be done, while a second instance of Gnucash on a Chromebook should only be done if absolutely necessary. Of course, this is just my opinion.

I'm not sure if anyone has attempted such with GnuCash. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [3]gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: [4]https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
