Re: [GNC] GNUcash 3.2 flatpak file open issue

Thanks for working that out Geert. It has allowed me to get gnucash to generate a trace file by running sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem=/tmp It appears that the flatpak does not have access to /tmp without this. It would be better, obviously, if that were built into the flat

Re: [GNC] file save over network taking very long time

If you run 2.6.17 but save to a local file in the VM is it any different (running the UI directly on that machine, to take one of the variables out). Also how is the file on the NAS accessed? I run 2.6.19 on Ubuntu 18.04 (an i5, not in a VM) but saving to a file on an NAS (a Pi), where the folder

Excellent, thanks for working that out. Specifying 127.0.0.1 works for me too. I have updated the issue [1]. That means that for me the flatpak is a working solution. However, given the fact there has been absolutely no feedback from the maintainer on any of this I am not particularly hopeful th
