09:17:13 <Dave_is_sexy> Hi guys. I've just added my education loan interest (OMG!) to my accounts in liabilities:loans:education loan and expenses:interest:education loan interest. But the interest isn't something I'm actually spending money on, so its counterbalance shouldn't be in expenses. Where should it go?
09:17:13 <gncbot> Dave_is_sexy: Sent 20 hours and 13 minutes ago: <warlord> Run a Balance Sheet
09:18:02 *** joerlend_ has quit IRC
09:18:26 <warlord> Dave_is_sexy: what do you mean that "you're not spending money on it"?
09:19:01 <jsled> Dave_is_sexy: interest is indeed an Expense.
09:19:57 <Dave_is_sexy> well the liability just sorta increased all by itself while i was at university, and you don't have to pay it back til after uni, so the entries in the liability account for interest are kind of... different
09:21:20 *** snavin has quit IRC
09:21:41 *** snavin has joined #gnucash
09:22:20 *** kmachalica has quit IRC
09:22:28 <Dave_is_sexy> oh i see, the loan goes up (damn interest) and the expenses go up, but it's ok cos those expenses are like 'extra purchased loan'
09:22:34 <warlord> Ah, so the principal just increased.. So what I would do is record it out of Equity.
09:22:57 <Dave_is_sexy> Ah, yes that sounds better
09:23:13 <Dave_is_sexy> So it would be negative equity
09:25:06 <warlord> Right
09:25:12 <warlord> Because your liability increased.
09:25:25 <Dave_is_sexy> Aw

09:28:23 <arigold> have a question about gnucash - I am a long time user of Qbooks and want to flip over asap
09:28:48 <arigold> want to know if there is a walkthrough on line discussing setting up over linux distro - or do I have to make myself?
09:28:58 *** warlord sets mode: +o gncbot
09:29:05 <arigold> that is, 'make' from source?
09:29:27 <warlord> most distros already have it.
09:29:57 <warlord> what distro do you use?
09:30:59 <arigold> I am testing a few out, currently running : 2.6.20-16 xubuntu GNU...
09:31:36 *** kmachalica has joined #gnucash
09:31:40 <warlord> then just "apt-get install gnucash"
09:32:00 <arigold> just looking for distro that will continue to work without a hassle. maybe even try it on xandros for my eeePC
09:32:05 <arigold> ok, thanks
09:32:15 <arigold> have you tried it off xandros or know if it works?
09:46:24 *** twunder has quit IRC
09:47:03 <arigold> wow just ran into puppy linux mixed with compizfusion.... amazing
09:47:13 <arigold> http://www.tombh.co.uk/CF/about.ph
09:47:16 <arigold> thanks fo ryour help
09:50:36 <warlord> nope, never used any of those distros.
09:50:38 <warlord> I use Fedora.
09:50:58 <warlord> I dont make it a point to go and try distros.. I've got too much important work on my plate.

10:35:04 *** wizkid239 is now known as wizkid238
10:35:57 <jsled> arigold: I would definitely suggest sticking with one of the major distros for your first foray into linux.
10:36:15 <jsled> Ubuntu (not xubuntu) or Fedora, in particular.
10:37:31 <arigold> yes. my intent is to find fast, with easy packages to upload... but centos and fedora are both great.

10:59:41 *** felix has joined #gnucash
10:59:53 <felix> hello everybody
11:00:32 <felix> i have some question to gnucash developers
11:00:54 <felix> who is able to help me
11:01:24 <jsled> We can't answer your questions until you ask them.
11:02:20 <felix> okay i'm student
11:02:31 <felix> we have a project at university
11:02:55 <felix> now we're looking for a test environment
11:03:11 <felix> our project deals with hbci
11:03:18 <warlord> @op andi5 andrewsw-afk
11:03:18 *** gncbot sets mode: +oo andi5 andrewsw-afk
11:03:32 <felix> we want to build our own hbci terminal
11:03:39 <felix> now here is my questions
11:04:05 <felix> are there a test environment or test framework in gnu cash?
11:04:12 <warlord> by hbci terminal do you mean client or server?
11:04:38 <warlord> felix: yes. there's a "make check" test framework.
11:04:54 <felix> a smart device to sign a transaction, i think it's a client *
11:04:57 <warlord> And there was a GSoC project to add a UI test set... BUt that was never merged back into trunk
11:05:36 <felix> we want to check conformance of our hbci-"communication"
11:06:05 <warlord> Oh, that's probably beyond what gnucash has/does. You might want to look at AqBanking.
11:07:06 <felix> can you tell me something more about AqBanking?
11:07:39 <warlord> what would you like to know?
11:07:58 <jsled> It's the library we use to do much of that work, including the HBCI protocol interaction itself.
11:08:33 *** andrewsw-afk has quit IRC
11:08:40 <jsled> felix: see http://www.aquamaniac.de/aqbanking/
11:08:42 <felix> gnu cash doesn't speak hbci without aqbanking?
11:08:47 <jsled> that's right.

13:31:08 <BF> Hi - [gnucash 2.2.1, ubuntu 7.1] i need some help to get currency exchange working. i followed the instructions in the tutorial, and no luck so far, either with manual or automatic. stock prices do auto-update from yahoo, though. also, in the main accounts summary screen, i dont have the second column of 'home currency' value as shown in the tutorial screenshot.
13:37:38 <warlord> Seems a number of people have been having issues with currency quotes. Maybe it's a F::Q issue?
13:38:03 <BF> wozzat - f::q ?
13:38:38 <warlord> Excuse me, but what is "wozzat"? Sounds like a bug cream.
13:39:08 <warlord> F::Q.. Finance::Quote
13:41:16 <BF> wozzat = what's that. so maybe it is a bug! should i report it somewhere?
13:42:01 <BF> i dont mind running some direct commands from the CLI, i just need an idea what to enter.
13:42:43 <warlord> Honestly, I dont know alot about F::Q
13:43:14 <BF> do you know anyone who does, or alternatively the bug tracking system?
13:45:56 <warlord> You can try on the F::Q mailing list.. (I think it's at Sourceforge)
