[GNC] Trouble installing

[jnbernier]

I am unable to install on my Mac.  I run the dmg file fine, it opens a dialog 
box that says “verifying Gnucash.  Then the next dialog box says "Gnucash is an 
application dowloaded form the Internet. Are you sure you want to open?"  I 
confirm by clicking “open” and then the file closes/crashes.  I can’t get past 
this point.

Re: [GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

[Anthony Dardis]

I had similar experiences with 3.1 on OS X 10.13.4 on a 2015 MacBook 
Air. My standard setup opens 4 accounts and one report, a version of 
Balance Sheet that presents an overview. With 2.6.19, they all open at 
once; with 3.1-1, they open in sequence (is there also a redraw in there 
somewhere?) which gives an impression of "flashing".


My impression is that the colors/fonts/UI/etc are better in 3.1-1 (that 
is: they look great!) but the system is working harder to make this 
happen and so it "feels" less robust.


(One bit of UI that I missed: in 2.6.19 a "swipe left" mouse pad gesture 
in the tab bar brings you to the left (or to the leftmost tab); 3.1 
seems not to have this any more?)


I had the "can't parse user file" issue with 3.0-1, and it went away 
with 3.1-1.


I had a crash, though, which put me back to 2.6.19. I was reconciling 
each of my high activity accounts at beginning of month last week; the 
first two went smoothly; I opened the account to reconcile the third, 
clicked the Reconcile button, and GnuCash crashed "completely", just 
disappeared and stopped. The Apple crash dialog came up, but I wasn't 
sure if there was value in sending anything to Apple. No data loss, but 
concerning.


Cheers,

Tony

[GNC] Gnucash 3.1: Missing Account Tree

[emmanuel]

Hello, up until recently I was running GnuCash 2.4 and just upgraded to 
3.1. (The GnuCash 2.6 reports didn't work on NixOS, so I stayed with 
2.4). Unfortunately, I can no longer see the account tree (see attachment).


Is this change on purpose? If so, what's the new way of getting to the 
transactions of a specific account?


Perhaps related, I noticed that when creating new accounts I can only 
choose a parent from those same top-level accounts.



Thank you,

Emmanuel

Re: [GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

[Adrien Monteleone]

Anthony,

I see what you mean about the tabs loading. I have the CoA, Receivable & 
Payables aging reports, and a Current Period Income Statement report on 
startup. Each load one by one after the main window appears. I just tested with 
my 2.6.21 copy and while the main window opened with everything already loaded, 
this happened because the reports were ‘built’ while the splash screen was 
still up. And it took much longer on 2.6 to build the reports than with 3.1. So 
3.1 is much faster to load my reports, and the main window appears sooner. 
While I wouldn’t call it a ‘flicker’ it does appear different to the user. I 
normally don’t notice it since I started using 3.1 because I rarely close the 
application so I rarely re-start it.

I haven’t noticed any sluggishness during regular use save for the context-menu 
in registers and invoices which sometimes seems to take a few seconds to ‘wake 
up’ and become active after appearing. I had a bug report on another issue with 
that menu so I suppose I need to file another to address that point.

That crash report would possibly have been useful in a bug report or help here 
on the list. It’s probably still available from Console.app.

I too had a crash right after using 3.0, but it turned out to be a mouse event 
that whacked the application and wasn’t a repeatable event. It ran fine 
afterwards.

Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to start a thread about your crash and attach your 
crash report as a .txt file.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Julie,

Usually when this happens I just launch again after confirming I want to open 
and it works the second time. (this isn’t unique to GnuCash)

Does it get as far as showing you the contents of the bundle? You’ll see 
‘GnuCash.app’, ‘FinanceQuote Update.app’ and a few .txt files. If you get that 
far, drag and drop the GnuCash.app file to your Applications folder.

If not, perhaps try deleting that copy and re-downloading. Make sure you get it 
from the official source via the links on: gnucash.org

You should also ‘verify’ the download using the hashes given for the .dmg on 
the download page. There are plenty of resources on how to do so if you aren’t 
familiar with the process. If you need help, ask us here on the list.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.1: Missing Account Tree

[Adrien Monteleone]

Emmanuel,

I’ll let a developer give you a better answer, but I’ll hazard a guess.

First, run ‘Check & Repair’ in the Actions menu.

If that doesn’t fix it, then my guess is that you need to first open your file 
with a 2.6 version before moving to 3.1.

Regards,

Adrien

[GNC] Crash log for event on 3.1-1

[Anthony Dardis]

Attached is a crash log for a 3.1-1 crash on OS X 10.13.4 on MacBook Air 
2015.


Context: I was reconciling each of my high activity accounts at 
beginning of month last week; the first two went smoothly; I opened the 
account to reconcile the third, clicked the Reconcile button, and 
GnuCash crashed "completely", just disappeared and stopped.

THAT is what the question was about. YOUR debit card is associated with 
a checking account. That is one common type. But there are OTHER sorts 
of debit cards. There are ones associated with what are more like 
savings accounts (no checks, the debit card is used for all 
withdrawals). There are "free standing" debit cards (pre-paid debit 
cards) that are stand alone, associated with no bank account and which 
should be handled like "gift cards", just not tied to a particular 
vendor. And then there are "debit cards" associated to virtual accounts

YOUR type of debit card would/should have no existence in the CoA. Some 
of these other sorts (I will avoid the word "type") would.

Re: [GNC] Handling VISA Debit Accounts

[Adrien Monteleone]

Karen,

VISA is just a payment network. They are not a credit card company. They don’t 
issue cards, or extend credit to anyone. Banks do that part and VISA allows 
them to use the VISA brand on the bank’s cards. (which means payments will go 
through the VISA network) Those cards can come in many forms. You’re probably 
most familiar with the credit type associated with the brand, but branded debit 
cards have been around since at least the early 90s. (I had one in ’92) Branded 
gift/pre-paid cards are also now ubiquitous and are available at nearly any 
retailer, grocery store and convenience store. MasterCard and AMEX also have 
branded cards. I’m not aware of Discover having any cards other than the credit 
type. (also VISA/MasterCard is pretty much the same company now)

On that note, here’s how you handle each type:

Credit - create a Credit Card type account. (you can just use a plain liability 
account if you like, but GnuCash has a Credit Card type for you)

Debit - nothing special. It is merely a means to access your 
checking/savings/money-market/other account, so just create one GnuCash account 
for each real-world account. The fact that the account has an associated card 
doesn’t affect this.

Gift/Pre-paid - Create a Current Asset account, potentially one for each card.

I have mine set up as Assets:Current Assets:Prepaid Expenses:Gift Cards & 
Pre-paid Cards, and then under that various purposes like ‘restaurants’, 
‘groceries’, ‘shops’, ‘movies’, et cetera, with an account under each of those 
for each individual card. (so I can track the remaining balance easily) Some 
people lump all their pre-paid cards together since they are usually not 
reloaded (though you can) and discarded when empty. I don’t mind having them 
separate, not just because I don’t usually spend them all in one shot and like 
to see the balance at a glance, but also because I have several that are 
received as recurring gifts so the GnuCash account tends to hang around for 
many years.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

[John Ralls]

There’s no point in sending the crash report to Apple, but there is a point to 
sending it to us. Please file a bug report and attach it. As Adrien says, you 
can find it using /Applications/Utilities/Console under “User Diagnostics”. 
Control-click the report in the sidebar and select “show in finder” to see 
where it’s actually located.

It’s much better to use the bug tracker for crash reports. Mailing list 
articles tend to get forgotten about.

I’m not sure how reliable that backtrace is, the libraries on the left don’t 
match up well with the functions on the right.

Karen:

Unless for some specific reason you need to monitor the use of your 
debit card(s), don't.  Your transactions related to the debit card 
should show up on your bank statement.  The only reasonable case I can 
think of where a separate account is warranted is using re-loadable pay 
as you go cards.

Instead, I recommend utilizing the "Num" field to identify how each 
transaction was handled.  You can easily design your own schema.  In my 
case I use:

 for checks (the actual check number)

dbt for debit transactions (things like buying gasoline)

eft for electronic fund transfers (transfer electronically to a merchant 
and ach transactions that are not paid by check)

txfr to transfer money between accounts within the same financial 
institution

dep for deposits.

atm for well atm transactions.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

The “.crash” is a plain text file, so no transformation is necessary. The only 
thing to do is to set the file type to “text/plain” when you upload it to 
bugzilla so that it’s readable in the browser.

There’s a little more data you can collect: You can run GnuCash from the 
command line with the --debug and --extra options and crash it again--assuming 
that there’s something about the data that caused the crash rather than some 
random problem in Gtk--and attach the resulting trace file to the bug, pasting 
in any output in the Terminal window as well.

John Ralls

Yes, it opens the window with the content bundle.
I went back and tried to drag the application into the applications folder and 
tried to run it from there.  The same thing happens.
It tells me its not from the App Store and asks if I’m sure I want to open it.  
When I say confirm, it just shuts down.

I had tried this already.  When I go to Gnucash.org and click to download, it

Tom,

I'm glad you got it working.

I have just tried this on my Fedora linux system and there the tax entries do 
stick. I tried with both an xml based file and a sqlite3 based one.

So I don't know why it's not on your system.

Re: [GNC] Tax Report Options not working

[David Carlson]

 Tom ,  Since you are using Windows 10 the issue must be a Windows thing.
Are you using the official release or one of the nightly builds?

I don't know if the developers would suggest trying one of them for this
issue, but I see that there is a May 6 build in the nightly directory. <
https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/> I guess I would stay with
2.6.21 for a while.

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing

[Adrien Monteleone]

First, now that you’ve verified you want to open the app, try opening it with a 
left-click from LaunchPad or left double-click from the Applications folder. Be 
sure not to try launching the app from within bundle. Only launch from 
LaunchPad, the Applications Folder, or your Dock if you’ve placed it there. If 
that still doesn’t work, read on...

--

Since that didn’t work, let’s make sure the download is proper.

This might seem complicated at first, but it is in fact very easy with very 
little typing. (the worst parts you get to drag and drop)

Open Finder to your Downloads folder (or wherever you downloaded the .dmg to) 
and move it to one side.

Open your web browser and move it aside.

Open a Terminal.app window and position it so you can see it with the other two 
windows on the screen. You can find it in Launchpad > Utilities, or use 
Spotlight [CMD-Space] and search for terminal.app and launch it. (It’s also in 
Applications > Utilities from Finder)

At the command prompt (which ends in a ‘$’ sign) type:

openssl sha256

followed by a space, then click and drag the .dmg file from your Downloads 
folder and drop it after that space. (this will copy the full path to where 
that dmg is stored on your machine at the end of the command)

Then type another space and then a “pipe” character (looks like this-> | and is 
located above the enter key, you’ll have to use SHIFT to get it) followed by 
another space, then the word grep followed by another space.

Then in your browser, go to the main project page on SourceForge for GnuCash: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/ 


Click the Files tab.

Click ‘gnucash (stable)' folder.

Click the folder for the version you downloaded, in this case, probably the 
’3.1’ folder.

After the file listing, you’ll see a listing of ‘hashes’ which are long strings 
of letters and numbers with the corresponding file name next to them. Find the 
one for the .dmg you downloaded.

Double-click the hash to select it.

Now, carefully click and drag it onto the terminal.app window. (you can 
alternatively use the right-click menu on the hash to copy, and then again to 
paste at the end of the terminal command)

The final command you’ve created should look like something like this:

openssl sha256 /Users/yourname-here/Downloads/Gnucash-Intel-3.1-2.dmg | grep 
71d06ea408302defacf08dcc8343ade86eeb2298b8b33e75a6e240754c2faf7f

(that’s really one line, it may or may not wrap depending on how wide your 
terminal.app window is) ‘yourname-here’ would be replaced by the name of the 
logged in user on your Mac. (probably ‘julie’)

Hit ENTER.

After a few seconds or so, you should get a response like this:

SHA256(/Users/yourname-here/Downloads/Gnucash-Intel-3.1-2.dmg)= 
71d06ea408302defacf08dcc8343ade86eeb2298b8b33e75a6e240754c2faf71

followed by the command prompt.

If all you get is your command prompt back instead, then the hashes don’t 
match. (be sure you copied the right one) You’ll need to try the download again 
and re-verify till they do. You can just hit the up-arrow key in the terminal 
to repeat the last command after the new download, but be sure to delete the 
bad download first or sometimes the file gets renamed with a ‘-1’ or something 
similar after it and the command will give you a “no such file or directory” 
error.

--

Okay, that looked really technical, but wasn’t too hard to pull off. What you 
did was run a command to calculate the hash of the already downloaded file and 
then compare it to the one it was supposed to calculate. If they matched, it 
spat the hash back at you. If they didn’t, it does nothing. A matching hash 
means your download was complete and uncorrupted. (there really should be a 
simpler way to do this, I admit)

If the hashes matched and you still can’t get it to open after dropping the 
GnuCash.app in the Applications folder and right-clicking to open and confirm 
followed by a left-click to launch normally, then I’m stumped.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.1: Missing Account Tree

[emmanuel]

Thank you for the upgrade process, Adrien. I went ahead and followed 
through successfully.


It turns out the tree expand/collapse UI is not visible, yet it's there 
and functional. Perhaps it's a GTK3 theme issue, although I've tried a 
few different themes with the same result. I've attached a screenshot.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.1: Missing Account Tree

[Adrien Monteleone]

Emmanuel,

I was going to link another discussion thread for one of my replies on custom 
CSS for theming, but it doesn’t seem to exist. (oddly) So I’m going to send 
this to you privately in a separate e-mail. (if that message ever makes it 
through, I’ll post the reference link to it here in this thread as well.) For 
anyone else reading this, just check out the FAQ on the Wiki about customizing 
colors and fonts and follow the links from there. (my message had several of 
those links included, so perhaps the mailing list software had erroneously 
flagged it as spam.)

I’ll note otherwise, that there are some bugs concerning dark themes and 
GnuCash 3.1. But I don’t think this one has been reported yet. It looks like 
the expansion triangles are the same color as the background. Please check out 
the Bugzilla for GnuCash and if this specific UI issue has not been reported, 
please do so.

Regards,
Adrien

Adrien,

In addition to the README.txt file on Sourceforge the sha256 hashes are also in 
the release announcements at https://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml 
 and 
https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash/releases 
.

Re: [GNC] Trouble installing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks John,

I knew they were there. I only pointed her to SourceForge because she’d been 
there already.

I should have also pointed out the announcement thread and/or the posting of 
the announcement directly on the GnuCash site. There’s always more than one way 
to tackle something.

Since you brought it up, I know you’re really good about syncing info, but is 
there a ‘best place’ to pull the hashes from, just in case one source might be 
errant? And, not that you need to, but I know some publishers (Canonical comes 
to mind) also publish a hash file with a gpg signature. If you do that 
somewhere, certainly, that would be the first stop for users to make.

-

I see also on SourceForge that the ‘i’ button-link on the right of that screen 
(if you have JavaScript active) shows the sha1 and md5 hashes for each file 
which is also an option for anyone interested. 

As well, there are more methods than the one I listed in my reply on how to 
verify. (with MacOs in particular there is also the ‘shasum’ command.) 
Personally, I use a download plugin for Firefox (Downthemall) that offers the 
option to input the hash, specify the algorithm, and it verifies when the 
download is done.

If you’re downloading via torrent, the Transmission client (as I’m sure others) 
also offers a verification option, though I’ve yet to figure out how it does it 
since I don’t specify the hash file or sequence. (perhaps the hash is 
referenced by the torrent file itself?)

Regards,
Adrien
