Jean-Pierre, Were you using one of the SQL backends to store your file in V5.5 on LM22. If so, it may be possible that the V5.6 on LMDE6 has been built without the database drivers. So you still have access to the Linux Mint22 system. If so run the File-Save As dialogue from the menu. At the top of the dialogue pane there is a selection box labelled data format which has the options: mysql postgres sqlite3 xml
The existing setting of this will tell you what format the file was originally saved in. If it is in one of the first 3 formats the version on the new machine will need to have the SQL support libraries. If you check the same dialogue on your new machine, if it doesn't supply these options it has likely been built without the SQL drivers. Another way you can check for the drivers presence is to type the command "dpkg -l : grep dbi" into a terminal. If you have the database support installed it should indicate the following packages are installed: libdbi and at least one of libdbd-mysql libdbd-pgsql libdbd-sqlite3 If you select "xml" in the File->Save As dialogue, the file will be saved in xml format which can be opened in GnuCash when it has been built without SQL support. Give it an identifiable filename (e.g append "_xml" to the filename - you can delete this addition later). Copy this file to your new machine and then open it with the File->Open dialogue. If what I suspect is the problem you should be able to open it.
