00:02:49 <Finder> Hey all...trying to set up an amortization table, but the columns are off on the review page of the mortage/loan druid. Is this a known bug? Will it effect my mortgage table?
00:03:39 <Finder> It's figuring taxes as the same amount of interest, with insurance as taxes, pmi as insurance, and no pmi

00:05:41 <warlord> what version of gnucash?
00:05:56 <warlord> (fwiw I was having issues with the M&LD not even letting me enter in data)
00:06:23 <Finder> 2.2.6
00:06:37 <Finder> latest stable for ubuntu 8.10
00:06:42 <warlord> Hmmm... well 2.2.9 is current, but I dont know if that will fix this issue.
00:06:59 <Finder> Hmm, ok. May try to upgrade, thanks
00:08:50 <warlord> Just FYI, I find it unlikely that the 2.2.9 will fix it.
00:09:59 <Finder> Ok
00:11:14 <Finder> Thanks anyway
00:19:00 <warlord> good luck

01:10:53 <Finder> I don't guess there's a way to roll back a scheduled creation so I can re-create it?

02:23:05 <DG> Hi. Recently I started to use GnuCash and found it very useful. Now I have to change my PC and need to transfer everything from one PC to another. Could you let me know, which files should be copied and how it should be done - through Import-Export or otherwise.
02:24:06 <DG> And one more question - which files should be saved separetaly for the back up. Thanks!

17:34:16 <hobs> can anyone tell me how to get the Equity account to correctly register your Assets minus Liabilities ??
17:34:38 <jsled> The Equity *account* won't.
17:35:05 <jsled> There's a difference between the equity account (used for equity adjustments) and instantaneous Equity, which is computed by running a report.
17:35:15 <jsled> Sorry to answer and run, but I've gotta go! :)
17:35:29 <hobs> ok
17:35:38 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
17:35:57 <hobs> so really to see Equity in realtime can't be done unless you run a report ??
17:36:03 <warlord> Yes
17:36:18 <hobs> ok cool
17:36:42 <hobs> so I should only use the permanent Equity account to continue setting up my finances and entering information ??
17:37:29 <warlord> Yes.
17:37:53 <warlord> The Equity Accounts are for equity at a single point in time (e.g. Opening Balances, or Closing the Books)
17:37:59 <warlord> Instantaneous Equity is computed.
17:38:49 <hobs> that's different than I thought the program would work
17:38:57 <hobs> but i understand
17:39:36 <hobs> thanks for your help warlord...now I can keep working !
17:40:11 <warlord> how did you expect it to work?
17:40:24 <warlord> It's not going to add extra transactions on your behalf -- that's not how double-entry works.
17:40:36 <warlord> There's nothing magic about the Equity accounts.
17:40:40 <hobs> ya
17:40:54 <hobs> no i just thought that it would show equity in real time
17:41:02 <hobs> as assets minus liabilities
17:41:16 <hobs> as you built up your starting point information
17:41:29 <hobs> but i haven't started running reports yet
17:41:42 <hobs> so i'm sure i'll see how that works now and get used to the reports
17:41:43 <hobs> thanks man
17:42:12 <warlord> you're welcome.

21:27:11 <laughyn1nj4> how to i put my car in as an asset? ... im in the middle of paying it off, i didn't just buy it today
21:31:14 <goodger> laughyn1nj4: debit assets:car, credit equity:starting balances
21:31:45 <goodger> and credit liabilities:car loan, debit equity:starting balances
21:31:52 <laughyn1nj4> balances?
21:31:58 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
21:32:04 <goodger> when you make a payment, debit liabilities:car loan, credit bank
21:32:52 <goodger> ah, this gentlemen will probably help you
21:33:09 <jsled> I believe the default accounts use "Equity:Opening Balances", but whatever. Same thing.
