[GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 198, Issue 18 Gnucash cannot obtain the lock

I did find some .lck file on my computer. Some of them I could delete but not all. When I start the program it updates the .lck file to the present time.
I have re booted the computer a couple of times. Shouldn't this close any open files?
I think I have all administration rights.
How do I check for open files ?
I log in with a pin number to my .live account
I opened a small Open Office spreadsheet and it will not save changes "General input/output error while accessing C:\ dir
I then copied same file to the same thumb drive, opened the file, made changes, the file saved successfully.
I have looked all settings but can find nothing
So it appears it is my computer problem ant not a Gnucash problem.
I still would like any more suggestions that anyone comes up with.
Thanks for your time

Only the transaction report is expected to use the new locale-sensitive
start-of-week feature. It is tested working on Linux, and is known to be
not yet locale sensitive on windows.

Adrien,
Under most circumstances in this situation, I'd agree with you that the problem was an unsuccessful exit. However, Bob clearly notes that not only does he have troubles with the load, but also with saving and backup creation. That sounds very much like some sort of permissions problem.?
Bob, verify that you have full permissions for the folder in question. Also: is this folder a cloud folder, like dropbox? Sometimes remote folders cause problems. I'm sorry to be vague; I only recall that others have reported troubles on Windows with cloud-stored files. A search of the list archives might point to some further areas to investigate.?

(presuming you know for a *fact*, that the data files aren?t already open in GnuCash but you just don?t see the window)
You should then be able to then open any data file.
You could also choose ?Open-Anyway? with the same result.
There might be several causes, but other than the most obvious (that the file really is already opened) is that the app crashed last time you were accessing that file and the .lck file was not removed due to the ?ungraceful? shutdown of GnuCash.
I don?t think a permissions issue would cause this, but I could be mistaken. Make sure you have full permissions on the folder you are storing the files.

Message-ID: <1568082792594-0.post at n4.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I used to use aqbanking to download credit card transactions but stopped a
couple of years ago; it used to work but I don't recall what version of
GnuCash I was using then.
Today, I tried using the aqbanking wizard and GnuCash crashed. I also tried
Actions\Online Actions\Show log window and that crashed GnuCash also.
GnuCash version: 2.6.21
MacOs version: Sierra (10.12.6). Owing to the age of the Mac, this is the
last recent version that Apple will support.
I did some looking around for relevant documentation on how to debug but am
not having success. If anyone has any ideas, would be appreciated.
Thanks!
AEG

You have a few issues with dependencies, but the biggest one is GnuCash 3.7 wants boost 1.67 and your repos (based on stock Ubunutu 18.04) only offer 1.65.
Perhaps you could add a ppa, or build libboost 1.67 from scratch, but I?ve not attempted that route.
I don?t know if Mint has a similar upgrade path like the stock Ubuntu HWE stack. Those are supposed to only advance the kernel and video drivers as far as I?m aware, but if they enable more recent backports, that could help. (again, not sure if Mint has such a feature)
Maybe someone else who is either on Mint 19.2 (19.3 is not out yet) or Ubuntu 18.04 and has successfully installed GC 3.7 can lend a hand.
Sorry I couldn?t be of more help. I?m in the middle of setting up a build environment for 3.7 on Ubuntu 19.04 and running into a few issues myself with old versions of boost.

Christopher,
So mark that also not working on MacOS as both of John Morris & I are seeing the same issue on different versions of it. (defaulting to Saturday with no ability to change it)
I?m just getting into Scheme and I haven?t yet tackled building on MacOS. (though I wanted to just to test your patch)
If there is info you could use on this platform let me know and I?ll see what I can scrounge up.
(give me a day or two for getting a maint build up and running, but I am running 3.7 for ?production? so any logging/debugging facilities I could provide feedback with.)
Regards,
Adrien

Yes, I misread that. (scanning too fast, sorry) Certainly, I?d agree in that case, something with permissions is likely askew.

It is odd however that files on a thumb drive can be accessed but not locally as Bob noted.
My initial inclination was towards remote folders, but that tidbit threw me for a loop.
Perhaps the thumb drive is mounted with full permissions for ease of use, but the particular local folder is restricted somehow.
One other consideration, if other apps have writing/saving issues, maybe something is causing the drive to be ?read-only?. I?ve never experienced that in Windows.
There might also be a problem with the user account.
On that note...
Bob,
Did you notice if you were in your own account or a guest account?
A guest account probably won?t give you write permission to a regular user?s files unless you?ve shared them publicly in advance, but if you installed an app for ?all users? you might still be able to run GnuCash.
Regards,
Adrien
p.s. - out of curiosity, are you logging into Win10 with a MS account? With a password or are you using other means of authentication? Issues with authentication *might* (I?m grasping at thin air here standing precariously on a very thin limb since I haven?t migrated my Win7 instances to Win10 yet) give you OS access and even access to apps, but not to files or write access to certain directories. Of course, I really have no idea, it is just a hunch if all else fails.

Your bank?s format may require a newer version of aqbanking.
I think you can run 3.7 on Sierra, but I could be mistaken.
Certainly, there are 3.x versions that will run on it and you don?t have to stick with 2.6.21. One of them might have a recent enough version to get your transactions.
A last resort may be to run GnuCash in a Linux VM so you can have a fully up-to-date installation. VMWare has a seamless/unity mode, and if using VirtualBox it is possible to run a headless VM that opens a single app like GnuCash seamlessly with a GnuCash icon as if you didn?t know it was running in Vbox. (takes some work, but it is possible if that is important to you and you don?t like VM ?window chrome? getting in the way.)

Adrien

Hi Brenda,
Rounding the number up to what? Can you give an example?
I?m on Mac, so things may be different for you. If I go to the Preferences menu, under
Accounts > Default Currency
I can choose between Locale (mine is en-au, Australia, so that gives me AUD) or I canchoose a currency from a drop-down menu. What currency is selected for you?
Under
General > Numbers > Decimal places:
I have 2. Is it the same for you?

The last step of the import process just says "failed" with no errors listed. The other accounts (several) all imported OK. This file is by far the largest and most important. Any suggestions?

Hi, Michael.
I haven?t done this, so a pinch of salt may be required!
>From what I?ve seen on the list, there appears to be an upper limit on the number of transactions that can be imported at one go.
If you still have access to the Quicken App, you could break down the export into (say) monthly segments, and import these one by one.
I?ve also noticed mention on the list that splitting the import in this way can actually improve the importing process because choices you?ve made about the allocation of incoming transactions to accounts in GnuCash aren?t ?remembered? during on instance of the import procedure, but become available for the next one.
Regards,
Michael

Hello.
I suggest an option for the acceptance by GnuCash of the international notation of numbers, as defined by?ISO 31-0 standard and the 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures, which declared in 2003 that "the symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line" and further reaffirmed that "numbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groups".81 235,67 and 81 235.67 have the same meaning and would both be accepted, but 81,235.67 would be refused.?? Presently space is neither accepted in importing nor in pasting into GnuCash. Moreover, if one has chosen the dot as decimal separator then the coma is refused and vice versa... So I very often have to modify files in LibreOffice before importing them into GnuCash, and to type figures I could just copy and paste.
