[GNC] Symlinking synced prefs folder: what could possibly go wrong?

2018-11-13 Thread boldstripe
I can now use Gnucash reports on my Linux machine that I made on my Mac,
because I symlinked each machine's prefs folder (the whole thing) to a
common folder on pCloud Sync (a sync service like Dropbox).

What could possibly go wrong? :-)

The Gnucash file itself is also syncing (by the same service) on its own.

*Note:* I have read previous mail-list postings on migrating and syncing
Gnucash, and they give me some hope this can work.

[GNC] debian seems be missing file in amd64 gnucash package

2018-11-13 Thread John Griessen

I tried using apt install:

sudo apt install -t sid libboost-regex1.62.0
sudo apt install -t sid gnucash gnucash-common gnucash-docs python3-gnucash

and I just get this error:

gnucash: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash/gnucash/libgncmod-app-utils.so: undefined symbol: 
gnc_build_userdata_path


and I find no file 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash/gnucash/libgncmod-app-utils.so
and that debian package gnucash for amd64
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/gnucash/filelist
is supposed to contain this file:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash/gnucash/libgncmod-app-utils.so

so next I am trying flatpak, but wonder if
this is a clue to why I can't get gnucash running on debian yet...

Any ideas?

my /etc/apt/sources.list file has:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main non-free contrib

lines in it among others.

The buster repo is coming from here during update:

Hit:3 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease 


Hit:7 https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt buster InRelease

Anyone?

Re: [GNC] How to identify the parent account of any sub-account

Also agree that a traditional Combo Box would certainly make clearer which
is the actual  parent account especially if the choice of account colors was
inappropriate for the window colors in use.

I tested with the exact shade of blue and the only difference is that the 
selected account (by default, the parent) has white text, while the account you 
are editing has black text.

Re: [GNC] How to identify the parent account of any sub-account

2018-11-13 Thread David Carlson
I do not need to file a bug report about a missing highlight since it is
only missing in release 2.6.17 and possibly other 2.6.x releases but not in
the current 3.3 release.  However, judging by recent flurry of emails
regarding control over the new (to GnuCash) GTK-3 tools, it may not easy
for some users see or to manipulate.  As I do not use the current release,I
do not care personally to comment on whether the window design needs to be
changed, beyond my suggestion in my first post.

The error you’re getting isn’t that libgncmod-app-utils.so is missing, it’s 
that gnc_build_userdata_path() isn’t available. That’s defined in 
libgncmod-core-utils.so,

Did you clear out all vestiges of the Jessie-provided GnuCash before trying to 
install the Sid one? 

Buster is the testing branch and gnucash isn’t in it. GnuCash 2.6 is in Jessie 
(stable) and 3.2 is in Sid (unstable). apt-get should pull in all of the 
required dependencies, including boost-regex (and BTW you also need 
boost-date_time, boost-filesystem, and boost-locale) so your first line 
shouldn’t be necessary. If it’s not pulling in boost-filesystem that could be 
the reason that libgncmod-core-uils.so isn’t loading.

John Ralls

Should be OK, lots of users do that. The only risk is that there’s some latency 
that might cause a lock file to either not be present shortly after opening the 
file on the “other” computer or to be still present after closing it. There’s 
also no locking at all on the “prefs” folder so if you edit a custom report 
config on both systems the last one saved will be the one you get.

John Ralls

I haven’t installed it on debian myself, but someone did report that installing 
the following three files from sid was successful to get 3.3:

libboost-regex1.62.0_1.62.0+dfsg-8_amd64.deb
gnucash-common_3.3-2_all.deb
gnucash_3.3-2_amd64.deb
