11:42:58 <gerold> hello
11:43:12 <jsled> hello
11:44:47 <gerold> I am having a problem closing an invoice tab within gnucash on debian sid (version 2.2.6 built from r17427 on 2009-03-17.
11:44:57 <gerold> Any suggestions?
11:45:21 <gerold> I believe this is a bug and has probably already been reported, but is there a workaround?
11:45:31 <gerold> Thanks
11:46:41 <ebotunes> Hi, I'm having a probem running the Mac OS Intel build of version 2.2.9
11:47:17 <ebotunes> It's installed without any complaints, and ive installed CUPS, but when i try to run the app, it just bounces in the dock for a few seconds, then disappears - anyone had similar problems?
11:56:43 <gerold> try launching gnucash from a terminal window by typing gnucash --debug and see the messages...
11:57:57 <ebotunes> -bash: gnucash: command not found
12:03:13 <warlord> gerold: known bug. long since been fixed. upgrade to 2.2.9
12:03:55 <warlord> ebotunes: what version of osx do you run -- there are known issues with 10.4
12:08:00 <gerold> thanks warlord. Has anyone done a package of 2.2.9 for debian?
12:15:57 <gerold> warlord: Went to download link from www.gnucash.org but this points to http://ftp.at.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/gnucash/sources/
12:16:06 <gerold> The version there is 1.6.1 ....
12:16:26 <gerold> How can I get the sources to 2.2.9 please?
12:18:06 <gerold> Sorry spoke too soon...
12:26:29 *** warlord2 has joined #gnucash
12:27:08 <warlord2> gerold: don't use that mirror.
12:27:11 <warlord2> go to SF
12:27:49 *** warlord has quit IRC
12:32:07 <ebotunes> warlord: 10.4 , the known issues in the readme doesn't shed any light - i installed CUPS as instructed for 10.4 users
12:34:39 <warlord2> ebotunes: that's because the 'known issues' were only discovered in the past 24 hours..
12:35:09 *** warlord2 is now known as warlord
12:35:11 <warlord> @op
12:35:12 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
12:35:25 <warlord> so.. they haven't been known for very long.
12:36:22 <ebotunes> i see :)
12:37:21 <warlord> (maybe 48 hours)
12:37:29 <warlord> But that's why they're not listed in the README..
12:37:43 <warlord> ... and the next version of the DMG should have that issue corrected.
13:05:39 *** ebotunes has quit IRC
13:26:53 <gerold> warlord: 2.2.9 on gnucash.org appears to be also from 23 February or should I be looking to go with 2.3.4 from sourceforge?
13:27:16 <warlord> gerold: 2.3 are alpha test releases.
13:27:23 <warlord> 2.2.9 is the latest stable release.
13:32:20 <gerold> warlord: OK sticking to 2.2.9, thank you
13:32:35 <warlord> you're welcome.
13:32:46 <warlord> I'm sure there's a 2.2.9 backport available somewhere, but I dont know what repo has it.

14:11:14 <gerold> warlord: trying to compile 2.2.9 and getting the following error message:
14:11:18 <gerold> checking for SLIB support... configure: error:
14:11:18 <gerold> Cannot find SLIB. Are you sure you have it installed? See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483631
14:11:32 <gerold> any thoughts?
14:15:04 <gerold> just typed slib guile, get the guile prompt and for (version) get back 1.8.7 ....
14:16:00 <gerold> on debian slib is in /usr/bin/slib am I missing something?
14:17:15 <warlord> gerold: did you run: apt-get build-dep gnucash ?
14:19:58 *** RobotCow has quit IRC
14:21:14 <gerold> warlord: no - will try right away. back in a bit...
14:24:09 *** ErKa has quit IRC
14:59:14 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
15:12:22 <gerold> warlord: wow, what an experience to compile gnucash! Hats off to you all, I am most impressed.
15:12:56 <gerold> I now have 2.2.9 running and I can close the invoice tabs without crashing.
15:13:42 <warlord> :)
15:14:44 <gerold> Can this version be easily repackaged for debian? I am sure there are numerous others who do not know how to compile...
15:14:59 <jsled> ask the debian maintainers?
15:15:17 <gerold> Will send an email.
15:15:42 <jsled> while sometimes we assist with distro packaging, it is ultimately up to the distro to package, not the project.

15:47:01 *** Rafael has joined #gnucash
15:47:07 <Rafael> Hello!
15:47:18 <Rafael> I need help with an Accounting homework! Can somebody help me?
15:49:10 <warlord> homework? Like for a class?
15:51:12 <Rafael> Yes!
15:51:22 <Rafael> Can you help me? I have tried very hard but still can't get it:(
15:55:10 <Rafael> ????????
15:55:38 <Rafael> Is anybody actually here???
15:55:47 <gxti> nobody but us chickens
15:55:58 <warlord> nobody here but us lights...
15:56:02 <warlord> .... and we're out.
15:56:08 <jsled> accounting questions unrelated to gnucash isn't really what we do, around here.
15:56:15 <jsled> This isn't "#accounting".
15:56:31 <warlord> and even so, we can't answer a question that you haven't asked.
15:56:38 <Rafael> So, nobody can help me here?
15:56:47 <Rafael> It's an accounting problem.
15:56:53 <Rafael> Preparing a correct trial balance.
15:57:15 <warlord> Eq = As - Li + In - Ex
15:57:49 <Rafael> Ok check this out, what would you do here:
15:57:58 <warlord> dont cut-and-paste more that 2-3 lines
15:58:25 <Rafael> 1. The totals of the debit sides of Pre-paid Insurance, Accounts Payable, and Property Tax Expense were each understated $100.
15:59:47 <Rafael> ???
16:00:00 <warlord> This is already sounding like something to which you should refer to your textbook.
16:00:14 <warlord> Rafael: there is no question there. Just a statement.
16:00:55 <Rafael> Yeah, it's because the homework is an accounting problem in which they already give me a trial balance but it's not balanced, it has different balances.
16:01:27 <Rafael> So it says, Your review of the ledger reveals that each account has a normal balance. You also discover the following errors:
16:01:31 <Rafael> which 1. I already typed
16:02:11 *** ebotunes has joined #gnucash
16:02:47 <Rafael> So, by that first statement, what do you think I should do in these accounts mentioned?
16:02:52 <Rafael> Less $100?
16:02:52 <warlord> I think your question is: what do you do? I'm afraid my answer to this would be "ask an accountant".
16:03:50 <Rafael> ARG!
16:04:57 <Rafael> What's this chat about, anyways?
16:05:01 <warlord> GnuCash
16:05:07 <Rafael> What's this?

16:50:28 <ebotunes> okay - thanks!
