[GNC] mysql gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

You were using the 3.2 Flatpak and it worked?

I'd suspect something with the Flatpak sandbox would be interfering.

Note, if you had to seek help on the list in 2018, you could search the 
list archives for that time period via your favorite search engine.

prepend your search terms with:

   site:lists.gnucash.org

and you should be limited to results only from the mailing list server.

Certainly, include as one of your terms, your name or e-mail address 
with a "+" in front to only give you results involving you. Then you can 
spot the proper thread(s) and refresh your memory on the 2018 solution.

Regards,
Adrien
