Hello, I'm new to GnuCash. Making the switch from Quicken. I'm excited about being able to access my raw data!
Background info: My OS is Ubuntu 23.10. Running gnucash --version in the terminal returns: GnuCash 5.3 Build ID: 5.3+(2023-06-26) I installed it through the Software Center. I did spend a great deal of time trying to get GnuCash to build via the Wiki "Building on Ubuntu" page. However, I kept getting errors when running the build script. I figured it was because I am running Ubuntu 23.10, so I gave up and went with the software center instead. If desired, I am willing to work with a dev who would like to troubleshoot. While working this week, I had two separate issues that popped up. As I researched the answers, I learned from JRalls on #gnucash IRC that the two issues are likely related. Regarding the issue that is related to GnuCash, in short, while working in GnuCash I cannot get my settings to persist. If I delete a transaction and the modal pops up asking me if I'm sure, and then I click the checkbox that states that I do not want to be asked again, this setting does not persist during the session. Furthermore, if I quit and log back in, my file is not saved and I get the New User "Import QIF" options pop up. For more information about this first issue, read the conversation I had with GnuCash dev JRalls here. Link to Bug 799107 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799107> The other issue I have, that could be related, is that I am not able to use gsettings in the console to change my desktop background image. I can get the background image to change by opening the dconf GUI, although I had to play around with some dir perms for ~/.config/dconf/ to make that happen. However, I still cannot get any changes reliably for my terminal commands. JRalls informs me that GnuCash uses gsettings, dconf, and gsettings-dconf-backend to make settings persist, and we thought it would be best to ask here on #gnucash-user to see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.
