[Fwd: Re: Since last run]

[sad jack]

Ok

I seem to have found the problem. I loaded Gnucash, postponed all the 
scheduled transactions then enabled them one at a time. For some reason 
one schedule was causing the problem and since I deleted it its not 
happening again. I've not been able to replicate it so I don't know what 
was going on.

Derek, I'm not running Gnucash in a terminal, its loading from a 
shortcut on my kde desktop. Apart from this one small problem its worked 
great and is doing so again.

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but if any newbee like 
me has, I hope this helps in a small way.

Q: GnuCash crashes on startup trying to run an SX. How do I fix this?
A: We're still trying to track down all the various SX problems. First, you should make sure you're running the most recent release. Second, if you're running the most recent release and still having problems you should file a bug report with all the output on your terminal (you ARE running gnucash from a terminal, RIGHT???). Third, you should backup your data file because the developers may want to see portions of it to help track down this problem. Finally, run:
gnucash --nofile
then turn off the ?AutoRun option from Edit -> Preferences -> Scheduled Transactions . Then exit and restart GnuCash and it should open your data file just fine.
