04:00:59 <ragedracer> morning/evening/afternoon
04:02:03 <ragedracer> I have a question on invoices.. specifically unpaid. Is there a report that will show me only my unpaid invoices for all or individual customers?

04:45:49 <ragedracer> I have a question on invoices.. specifically unpaid. Is there a report that will show me only my unpaid invoices for all or individual customers?
05:06:58 <rockfreak> yes Reports -> Business -> Recivables Aging
05:10:26 *** grayness has quit IRC
05:12:57 <ragedracer> when I select that report, for some reason all unpaid invoices show up as 91+days past due, even if entered yesterday
05:13:15 *** Phil_Ewert has joined #gnucash
05:19:10 <ragedracer> when I select that report, for some reason all unpaid invoices show up as 91+days past due, even if entered yesterday
05:26:29 <ragedracer> Aha.. For some reason it is defaulting to end of period which is 12/31/09. Is there anyway to make default the current date?
05:28:58 <ragedracer> Ok, I figured it out. If anyone is wondering. Edit --> Preferences. Change end date to relative : Today.

07:18:30 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
07:18:49 <warlord> rockfreak: Yeah, invoices,bills, and expense vouchers all share a counter.
07:48:29 <warlord> ragedracer: I thought that was reverted. The aging reports should default to "today" not, "global period ending"
07:48:45 <warlord> Are you running 2.2.9?

11:36:31 <ragedracer> warlord: no. I haven't upgraded, and honestly don't know how, its not in the repositories and I'm afraid to lose data since I'm an idiot.
11:40:04 <warlord> ragedracer: Stupid Ubuntu... shipping freakishly old software.
11:41:12 <warlord> You can upgrade w/o losing data. Maybe launchpad has a backport?
11:47:39 <ragedracer> warlord: I'm a linux noob. I don't know what you mean
11:48:32 <warlord> you run Ubuntu?
11:48:49 <ragedracer> yes
11:52:40 <warlord> have you heard of launchpad?
11:53:28 <ragedracer> yes
11:55:17 <warlord> well, launchpad might have a repository with an updated version of gnucash.
11:56:21 <jsled> Specifically, see the top of <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu> about the "PPA" business.
11:56:31 <ragedracer> would I add the repository in synaptic or how does that work? I've been using for a year or so, but I still haven't figured everything out
12:01:06 <ragedracer> Ok, so i added deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnucash/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main and deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnucash/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main to my repositories. Still not seeing the new gnucash
12:01:12 *** iamawake has quit IRC
12:04:48 <warlord> you've already passed the limit of my ubuntu knowledge. I dont use ubuntu/debian.
12:04:51 * warlord is a Fedora man
12:06:22 <ragedracer> lol
12:07:09 <ragedracer> I guess I'll just wait til the 23rd. Ubuntu goes to 9.10 so hopefully I'll get an update then.
12:17:53 <ragedracer> got it! found someone with it on launchpad. currently upgrading!

19:02:23 <ttacker> How can I determine when an account was last reconciled?
19:07:27 <ttacker> I'm trying to reconcile an account, but my starting balance is incorrect.
19:08:11 *** thoth has joined #gnucash
19:08:27 <thoth> I fired up gnucash today and got an error I've never seen before.
19:08:55 <thoth> It wants me to "setup the configuration data".
19:09:15 <thoth> Failed to load key /apps/gnucash/dialogs/tip_of_the_day/show_at_startup: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch requested, but X11 support
19:09:27 <jsled> what distro/OS?
19:09:30 <thoth> gentoo.
19:09:35 <jsled> heh
19:09:45 <jsled> Did you just do the gnome 2.24 upgrade?
19:09:55 <jsled> (or the xorg 1.5 upgrade?)
19:10:12 <thoth> Hmm, I may have rebooted my laptop before it was done upgrading all my packages...
19:10:39 <thoth> oh yeah. lots of upgrades it didn't finish.
19:10:42 <jsled> ah.
19:11:34 *** goobsoft has left #gnucash
19:37:51 *** iamawake1 has quit IRC
19:38:03 <ttacker> Upon what is the starting balance based in the reconcile window?
19:46:59 *** ttacker has quit IRC
20:04:52 *** iamawake has joined #gnucash
20:20:16 <thoth> Is it perhaps based on the sum of all previously reconciled transactions, and excluding stuff that has not been marked as reconciled.

21:27:17 *** Bob has joined #gnucash
21:27:30 <Bob> hi there!
21:28:52 <Bob> Is there a report in Gnucash to see the progression of one's assets?
21:29:47 <Bob> also, did you notice an increase in interest for gnucash since the start of the recession?
21:32:49 <goodger> Bob: that's an intriguing but predictable observation; faulty economic climates tends to lead people toward OSS
21:33:10 <goodger> Bob: you might try the Net Worth bar chart
21:33:44 <goodger> (the notion that the recession causes more people to take more interest in accounts and budgeting in general is also predictable)
21:35:32 <Bob> it is not an observation, but a question....I am wondering if gnucash has had more downloads, presences on forums, chat like this one, etc.?
21:38:17 <goodger> oh, I see.
21:38:50 <goodger> I'm not sure where download statistics are published, if at all
21:39:54 *** Bob has quit IRC
21:40:24 <goodger> bye
