Hello Everyone.

I believe I have fixed the problem of not being able to print a transaction report.

While I was messing around with the environment variable I trashed the menu item for GC.  The desktop icon still worked.  I thought about it for a couple days and I was pretty sure if I re-installed it might fix the problem.  I opened a terminal and did sudo apt remove gnucash.  It claimed gnucash was not installed.  Since I had already used GC many times I knew it was time to reinstall.  I did the re-install and GC started right up, found my file and everything was good.  Out of curiosity I tried a transaction report AND IT WORKED!!  I checked the version and I have installed v5.5.  I think I had 5.4 before.  Has there been an upgrade since Jan 1?  How do we get notified when there is an upgrade?

I appreciate your suggestion, but I'm afraid, based on the docs, that flatseal is over my head.

Using the flatpak version worked.  I am so happy.

It's been close to forever since I've set an environmental variable.  Where and how?
I believe you can install Flatseal and use it to set the environment variable for the GnuCash flatpak. Docs: https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md#environment

Jerry,

If you want to stay with flatpak, then here is how to set the environment variable using the command line:

flatpak override --env=WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 org.gnucash.GnuCash

To view what overrides you have set:

flatpak override --show org.gnucash.GnuCash

To remove an override:

flatpak override --unset-env=WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE

If you use flatpak per user as opposed to system, then add --user to these commands after the override, so for example:

flatpak override --user --show org.gnucash.GnuCash.

Graham.
