Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi, Sorry to bother everybody again. I'm pretty sure this is a Gentoo-package specific bug instead of GnuCash now. When I build and install GnuCash 4.8 from source code downloaded from GitHub directly, everything works fine and this problem does not exist anymore. This bug only exists when I inst

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi, Yes, I'm using Gentoo and install it directly from official Gentoo repository. I have tried reproduce this issue with a clean installed openSUSE which also has GnuCash 4.8 in their official repository. But everything is fine within OpenSUSE, preference could be correctly read and write. It m

Sorry, from what I could easily see on my smartphone it appeared that Brian's problem was unrelated to the problem described in https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798330 and that it shouldn't be hijacking that bug report. Now I see a different bug report number, so maybe it's ok. On Mon, N

Brian, Whatever your problem is, it cannot be the same as in that bug report as it was the result of a subtle mistake made by the OP. I am on a smartphone and I can't figure out how to reread your post, so I can't make any further suggestions about your problem. On Mon, Nov 22, 2021, 8:54 AM Bri

[GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi, I've encountered the issue that after install GnuCash 4.8, it won't read or store my preferences, as described at: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798330 But there is a little different, since I just do a fresh OS install, I'm sure I don't have any other GnuCash version or XDG_DATA_

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hey Klaus, glad it's working for you now, too! I've written that I got it working by modifying XDG_DATA_DIRS. That is true, but it cures only the symptom. The root cause was a forgotten schema from an old self-compiled version of gnucash below /usr/local/share. After deleting that it works with

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi Geert, I was about to do some tests whether any of the below mentioned tweaks (adapting XDG_DATA_DIRS, using .gconf/org/gnucash/Gnucash) would help, and if not doing an fresh install after removal of gnucash-4.5 or going release by release to gnucash-4.8 - but surprisingly, when I installed t

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. It also works fine on my Fedora 34 box. And at this point I don't see reason yet to believe the intermediate step via 4.7 is required. The bug hunt will hopefully give more details. As for the /org/gnucash/GnuCash path, that's a virtual path, not a filesystem

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi Geert, For your info if it will help diagnose problems on other Linux systems. As far as I cn tell GunCash 4.8 is reading the preferences when they exist on Linux Mint 20.2. I up graded from 4.6 via a patched version of 4.7 and then to 4.8 with a further patch suggested by John. Both 4.7 and 4.

[GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi, I am experiencing the same issue coming from 4.6 and upgrading to 4.8 from an OpenSuse Repo. One thing that I have in common with Klaus is that we both skipped 4.7 Indeed in Dconf I can find a new preference path /org/gnucash/GnuCash along with the old /org/gnucash. However, gnucash 4.8 doe

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

Hi, This likely means for some reason the preference migration hasn't run. I'd like to figure out why if you're willing to work with me on debugging this. If so, please file a bug so we can track our research there. Regards, Geert Op maandag 4 oktober 2021 23:06:13 CEST schreef Klaus Dahlke:

Klaus, This from the release notes may be relevant ? On Windows after installing 4.7 I had a couple of windows flash up quickly, to quickly to read what they said and then a new blank Gnucash file opened. I had to use file open to open my usual xml Gnucash file The GnuCash development team
