#2, You are posting in the right place. Flatpak has some sandbox issues as I understand, but this doesn’t look like one of them. #1, Check out: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations in the meantime to investigate why the Flatpak 3.7 version might be finding your data file. (if

I installed 3.7 from flatpak, but then I couldn't find the executable. So, I uninstalled the flatpak, downloaded the source and compiled it. I also deleted every single .XXX file in my home directory that had 'gnucash' in the title. Oddly, even with all initialization files deleted, gnucash 3.7

Thank you, everyone. I think I will wait for the next version to come out next month and try it out then. If I am going to install it by hand, I might as well install the latest. -- Brian M. Sutin gnuca...@skewray.com On Mon, Aug 26, 2019, at 3:32 AM, Geert Janssens wrote: > Op zaterdag 24

Brian GnuCash configuration locations changed between the last 2.6 version and the 3.x versions. Details are given here https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations of the locations for the current version and the 2.6 series. The files should have been copied from one location to the new

Ubuntu grabs the current version when they set their freeze for a release. Newer releases are not backported by the Ubuntu team. (I think there are some technical reasons for the holdup) As for the config issue, the 3.x series changed some config locations to make them more sane across platform

Simply grabbing the the current package in the Ubuntu repo might not be adequate to reconnect the configuration files. You may need to decide whether you want that package or the recently available flatpak or perhaps stay with 2.6.21, depending on you particular usage preferences. In all of those

Ubuntu is now up to 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish." Apparently Ubuntu doesn't make much effort to get the most recent Gnucash. I am still thinking that way-back-when Gnucash copied my files config stupid, and having a more recent version try again may solve the problem. -- Brian M. Sutin gnuca...@

You mentioned that Ubuntu upgraded a few times. Does that mean that you are no longer on release 16.04? That release is very stale today. If not 16.04, what release are you on? There is currently a flatpak release of GnuCash 3.6 available, but it has limitations that makes it unsuited for some us

A year or two ago I was running Ubuntu 16.10. When I upgraded to the next Ubuntu version, Gnucash did some moving and reformatting of my config files. When I ran Gnucash, it would hang up inside any register and crash. I 'solved' the problem by running 2.6.12 in Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04, which i
