[GNC] File locations to restore when migrating Linux computers?

My laptop died recently but I managed to recover all of the home directory and I'm setting up another one. Looking through the copy of $HOME from the old one, I find gnucash-related files in the following locations: ~/.gnucash (no files changed since 01/2019) ~/.cache/gnucash

Prepaid cards like that exist in the UK too. You can also buy them with foreign currency preloaded (I think they are called "travel money cards" but ICBW.) On 2019-08-28, David Carlson wrote: > Just to make this thread more interesting, here in the United States it is > possible to purchase rec

[GNC] Strange keyboard behaviour with new version

Hi, I upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10 a little over a month ago. I think the gnucash version changed from 2.6.19 to 3.3 (Ubuntu package versions 1:2.6.19-1 to 1:3.3-2). At first it crashed every time, but I used a xim workaround like this to get it running.

[GNC] Getting previous reconciliation closing balances?

Hi, I have somehow managed to miss a GBP10 subtraction from my current account (= American checking account), so I can't reconcile my latest statement. To make matters worse, the opening balance in the reconciliation tool is GBP10 higher than the closing balance of last month's statement. I can'
