HUGE problems with gnucash and Ubuntu 7.10, just released

[Paul Rudkin]

   For what it's worth, I ran GNUCash under the 7.10 Beta (clean install) and
   now under the final release (clean install) along with all the Compiz-Fusion
   eye candy and have not seen the issues reported here.

Just my two cents worth...

I am relatively new to the Ubuntu world - so I may be getting the following
comments wrong.  I built a clean Ubuntu 7.10 system over the weekend and
installed GNUcash 2.2.1 from the Ubuntu repositories.  Further, I turned on
the full Compiz bells and whistles.  I don't seem to have the problems
others are seeing.

Has anyone else tried a clean install?  Might this mean that GNUcash is
being clobbered by something else?  Any ideas?

The new Ubuntu release, 7.10, that's been out for a couple of days now,
includes the so called "visual effects" by default. This is, as I
understand it, Compiz Fusion desktop effects.

Gnucash does not work very well under Compiz Fusion, I just noticed. For
example, it is impossible to enter a date in a register by hand. This
may very well be a redraw issue, I'm not sure. There are a lot of other
graphic anomalies too. I'd post a screenshot, but I can't expose by
personal fincances to the list. I urge the gnucash developers to try and
run gnucash on a Ubuntu 7.10 box with visual effects turned on to see
for themselves. It is very easy to find bugs, they're all over the
place.


Until a permanent fix is found, you can mitigate the problem by:

system > preferences > appearance > visual effects

then select "none" followed by "close"  This allows Gnucash, and other
applications similarly afflicted, to operate normally.  Once you are
finished with Gnucash you can re-enable Compiz in the same way.  Your
custom settings, if any, should be preserved.
