Switching from Windows to Mint

Hi all- I've been using GnuCash for years on various versions of Windows, but I got a new computer and decided to make the leap to Linux. I'm using Mint 18.3 and I'm having trouble building from source. I've been following the steps in the wiki. (I tried the distribution, but it doesn't have the

FWIW, I had the same experience - i.e., the message "Gnucash has stopped working" after installing 2.6.18 on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 desktop and a 64 bit Windows 10 laptop (both HP machines). A slow response to a large report was not the problem. On each machine, I waited in vain for 10 to 15 minu

As someone who has been using Linux as my principal operating system on home and business PCs since 2004, I can say with certainty that Linux helps those who help themselves.  It'll be worth the effort, though. I don't use Mint, but the spousal unit does and on the rare occasions I've had to i

I have been using GC for several years, and although I trade stocks, I have never used the "Trading Accounts" option.  Can I just start using it, or would I need to start a new GC file? Thanks, Les ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.

A predictive bar graph needed

2018-02-11 Thread Cliff McDiarmid
Hi I've just moved over from Quicken. There was a rather neat feature in it, whereby through a 12 month calender, one could input expenses and income over the days of the months and see the predicted outcome in a bar graph below. I need a similar thing in gnucash, but through t

2018-02-11 Thread Adrien Monteleone
There is an expense and income graph that shows bars over months. You can also get a data table for each. Then, there is a future scheduled transaction report you can run. So set up your recurring income/expenses to see that data. There is currently no built-in way to get a bar chart with future
