entries into register won't record

    I vaguely recall a problem someone had reported long ago about an interaction with another program.  That was probably before Ubuntu 14.04 was released so it may not the same as your problem, but it may be something to investigate.  Perhaps a developer could make specific suggestions.
Are you using cloud storage or network storage?  Anything else that may occasionally experience high latency?

I've done some further investigation which brings me to two questions:1)  I've opened my datafile in gc for windows - 2.6.11 which gives me the same error.  From that I conclude the problem isn't due to the old version of GC.  Is that fair?  Any suggestions how to get things working?  There seems to be no pattern to which entries I can or cannot enter.2) Is there a step by step guide to compiling Gnucash on Ubuntu - or at least some reading material someone could point me to?  It's nothing something I've done before but I'm keen to learn. I'm reasonably up to speed runnign from the command prompt but could do with a compiler's guide. ( I realise that's probably not one for here, but any pointers to helpful sites would be appreciated.)Many thanks,AndyOn 2016-02-25 18:15, Tommy Trussell wrote:> On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 8:46 AM, Derek Atkins  wrote:> >> Hi,>> >> gnua at sundew.org.uk writes:>> >>> Hi,>>> >>> Sorry for the delay in responding.
