[GNC] Flatpak 4.9-2 Online Quotes not working (name resolution issue?)

[Guille Lopez]

Hi Frank and David,

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that this had indeed something to do with my environment and not GnuCash. For some reason org.gnome.Platform 41 does not work with the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf.

Either commenting out 1 particular server in /etc/resolv.conf (a local server) or downgrading and therefore using org.gnome.Platform 40 solves the issue. So it seems a problem in the interaction between the org.gnome.Platform and that particular DNS server.

In any case, that would be a question for a different forum, not the GnuCash mail-list.

Thanks a lot!!

Guille
