[GNC] How do I print a transaction register

[Jerry Criswell (JC)]

Hello Everyone.

I believe I have fixed the problem of not being able to print a 
transaction report.

While I was messing around with the environment variable I trashed the 
menu item for GC.  The desktop icon still worked.  I thought about it 
for a couple days and I was pretty sure if I re-installed it might fix 
the problem.  I opened a terminal and did sudo apt remove gnucash.  It 
claimed gnucash was not installed.  Since I had already used GC many 
times I knew it was time to reinstall.  I did the re-install and GC 
started right up, found my file and everything was good.  Out of 
curiosity I tried a transaction report AND IT WORKED!!  I checked the 
version and I have installed v5.5.  I think I had 5.4 before.  Has there 
been an upgrade since Jan 1?  How do we get notified when there is an 
upgrade?
