10:02:14 *** jsled sets mode: +o gncbot
10:02:35 <warlord> @op
10:02:35 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
10:02:37 <warlord> thanks jsled
10:03:36 <warlord> As you can see, the server is back, but I dont know for how long. It apparently paniced, and didn't reboot right away; on reboot it paniced again
10:03:44 <jsled> oh. :(
10:03:50 <warlord> Yeah: Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check
10:04:04 <warlord> Er, sorry: Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt
10:04:29 <warlord> it could be failing memory, failing Mobo, or failing PSU
10:04:36 <warlord> hard for me to tell from here.
10:04:39 <warlord> BUT it's up for now.
10:04:51 <warlord> I'll take a closer look when I get stateside again in a couple weeks.
10:08:43 <Rolf1> warlord: "account summary" report perhaps?
10:09:47 <warlord> I suppose so.
10:10:20 <Rolf1> OK
10:10:25 <Rolf1> Let's try it then
10:10:27 <warlord> cash-flow does too.
10:10:51 <Rolf1> What is the difference between the cash-flow and summary report?
10:10:55 <warlord> look at gnc:options-add-account-selection
10:11:09 <Rolf1> I assume you are more familiar with the cash-flow report, right?
10:11:16 <warlord> Eh.
10:11:30 <Rolf1> than you for the string to search for
10:11:39 <Rolf1> is "Eh" = yes?
10:13:02 <Rolf1> warlord: Yes, I saw the gnc:options-add-account-selection
10:13:05 <warlord> Eh is "so so"
10:13:10 <Rolf1> OK
10:13:19 <Rolf1> But that works on the level of account type
10:13:32 <Rolf1> Unfortunately, that won't do
10:13:42 <Rolf1> Can I select individual accounts
10:13:43 <Rolf1> ?
10:13:52 <Rolf1> preferably by account number
10:14:11 <Rolf1> or even better the KVP code that the tax report uses as well
10:37:06 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
10:38:20 <warlord> Well, you need to get the Account* pointer object.
10:39:04 <warlord> I don't know what gnc:filter-accountlist-type does offhand.. Try looking there and duplicating it to create a gnc:filter-accountlist-by-name
10:39:09 <warlord> ... or something like that.
11:07:16 <Rolf1> Did it!!!
11:07:35 <warlord> Yay!
11:07:37 <Rolf1> I think I finally got the tax report to do at least close to what I need
11:07:47 <Rolf1> 542606 is probably fixed
11:07:54 <warlord> So you sure you don't want to DB down to Frankfurt this week to grab a Bier? ;)
11:07:54 <Rolf1> But I found another bug with that report
11:08:06 <Rolf1> I hate DB
11:08:12 <Rolf1> But what about Munich
11:08:16 <Rolf1> Are you going for sure?
11:08:25 <Rolf1> I might be in the area mid of August
11:08:50 <warlord> I'm in Frankfurt right now.
11:08:56 <warlord> But I leave for Ireland on Saturday.
11:09:06 <warlord> I wont be back until next summer.
11:10:36 <Rolf1> Too bad
11:10:54 <Rolf1> but it looks rather unlikely
11:10:58 <Rolf1> and too bad
11:11:02 <warlord> ah well.
11:11:09 <Rolf1> F!%$
11:11:14 <Rolf1> I rejoiced too soon
11:11:26 <Rolf1> I had masked the problem in the gnucash file
11:11:28 <warlord> This triip is a little shorter than I wanted, but I needed to get back for a wedding so I had to cut out 1 week of holiday time.
11:11:33 <Rolf1> the problem is still ther
11:11:34 <Rolf1> e
11:12:03 <warlord> :(
11:20:37 <Rolf1> what does this line do?
11:20:39 <Rolf1> (format (gnc:get-txf-format code (eq? type ACCT-TYPE-INCOME)))
11:20:51 <Rolf1> especially the format command
11:21:29 <warlord> format is sorta like printf
11:24:01 <Rolf1> Oh, I think here this particular format is a function
11:24:09 <Rolf1> there is a let in front of it
11:24:33 <Rolf1> format is being defined as (gnc:get-txf-format code (eq? type ACCT-TYPE-INCOME)
11:24:34 <Rolf1> I think
11:24:40 <Rolf1> not sure why
11:24:52 <warlord> see, that's why context is VERY important.
11:25:27 <warlord> so in that case, gnc:get-txf-format is a procedure that takes the code and the boolean result of "is type equal to INCOME"
11:27:58 <Rolf1> hehe
11:28:13 <Rolf1> If you want to keep that file open, I'd certainly communicate by line numbers
11:28:50 <Rolf1> I guess all I can hope for is throwing out some concrete questions and help for some answers that will eventually help me understand how this report works
11:28:55 <Rolf1> and why it does not for me
11:29:26 <Rolf1> concrete questions can of course lead to loss of context and thus misunderstandings :(
11:29:55 <Rolf1> warlord: gnc-numeric-convert in line 312 is a rounding function?
11:30:41 <warlord> among other things, yes
11:31:16 <Rolf1> OK
11:31:21 <Rolf1> I'm having another go at it
11:31:22 <warlord> it does... conversion... of gnc numerics. ;)
11:31:25 <Rolf1> wish me luck
11:31:35 <Rolf1> I think I may have nailed it this time
11:38:26 <warlord> good luck
11:48:32 <warlord> GnuCash server also updated with DNS cache poisoning protection.

12:59:56 <Rolf1> Is it true that most xaccAccountGet$blah functions are defined in src/engine/swig-engine.c? All of them?
