Sorry for the delay in replying Tommy.

I tried the above with a fresh install of Ubuntu.

1. Install getdeb package from getdeb web site

2. Reboot system just to on safe side

3.  Clicked on 'install no' from getdeb web site, this launches Ubuntu
software centre with 'GNU Cash' menu.

4. Press install - adds icon to side bar, launch GNU cash - v2.6.1

?
