Julie On Item 1, that is designed behavior. If you exit GnuCash by either File->Quit or using the close window X button at the top right, the .LCK file is deleted. If GnuCash is exited in any other way e.g. by a system reboot or crash the .LCK file is not deleted. In the dialogue that comes up at startup you can select the "Open anyway" option and it will still open the file.
I'm running 5.17 on Linux Mint 22.3 and have no problem running a reconciliation report although I'm not using a saved report but creating it from scratch so this does not appear to be a general problem and maybe something specific to your computer. The report will be blank if no account is selected or the report dates don't cover a period with transactions in the report options (Edit_>Report Options from the menu). A crash may have corrupted a saved file if it was being accessed at the time of the crash. Can you create a report from scratch? Reports generally are blank until the report options are setup and the report has to be alreadyopen to set them up. Hope this helps a bit On Wed, 2026-10-07 at 07:42 -0700, Julie G wrote: > Well maybe i better deal with all the issues I get. > 1) when I start gnucash, I pretty much always get the error message > the > that file could not be found.
