Just pointing out that the instructions say "cd to your download folder (or where you have the above 3 files)" which you didn't do the first time round. Colin On Fri, 19 Apr 2019 at 20:02, Lawrence Joy wrote: > > A synopsis of what I did to get V3.5 loaded and working on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 > LTS

The first error was because you were not in the same directory as the .deb files. You could still run the command in that case, but then you’d have to specify the exact location of each .deb. It is much easier to just be in the same directory. I’m not sure why those files had architecture speci

I don’t know if you even had 3.4 installed unless you knew for a fact you were once running it. (If that is the case, you might have earlier removed 2.6.19) It looks like you downloaded the 3.5 source. (you mentioned it contained directories and files) You can build from that source download us

#1, Before doing anything else, follow Colin’s suggestion to: `sudo apt remove gnucash` which will uninstall 2.6.19 (this is the version which is in the 18.04 repo) It may even remove *all* installed versions, but that’s okay because then you can install just the one you want. I’ll answer your

To remove the version that you installed using apt install then do sudo apt remove gnucash Do that first and see what state you are in then. Before doing anything make sure your backup of your accounts file is up to date, just in case, though installing/removing should not affect it. Colin On Th

By chance did you manage to install them side-by-side? How did you install 3.5? (or 3.4 for that matter, as neither is in the 18.04 repos) Did you try to intentionally launch 3.5 first, then use File > Open? I can’t see how in such a case, 3.4 would suddenly launch. (but double-clicking the fi
