09:30:34 <warlord> thanks
09:31:05 <warlord> Cablemodem decided to sieze up at around 7am.. I had to leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes before it would re-sync. :(
09:31:19 <warlord> This CM sucks. When we move to another place I'm going to have to definitely get a different model!
09:33:56 * gour got today adsl after moving to the country-side from the town...almost 1yr with 3g-only connection
09:36:54 <warlord> What ADSL speed?
09:38:28 <gour> the lowest/cheapest 4M
09:38:44 <gour> max is 20Mb/s here
09:39:24 <gour> still, it's several times quicker and much stable than flakey 3G
09:52:29 <gour> warlord: those patches to make gnucash build with guile-2 will be applied before 2.4?
09:52:54 <warlord> gour: yes
09:53:00 <gour> :-)
09:53:06 <warlord> Ah, cool! Never heard of 20M ADSL!
09:53:09 <warlord> Excellent.
09:54:15 <gour> probably it works only if one is very close...for me stability is primary concern...no online gaming, dl-ing music, videos...so 4M is sufficient
09:55:22 <gour> witg 3G i was always postponing system update not to break monthly limit...now we have flat rate :-D
10:05:22 <warlord> k
10:05:44 <warlord> right now I have 20/4 cablemodem service, which is okay -- but the modem itself seems to get stuck frequently.
10:11:15 <gour> how far is 2.4?
10:11:44 <warlord> I dunno

11:15:16 <Egodharma> Someones....
11:15:31 <warlord> Sorry, no
11:15:50 <Egodharma> ok, then I try in englisg....
11:16:04 <Egodharma> Can i make a question about old gnucash version?
11:16:11 <warlord> There's the gnucash-it mailing list, but I dont know how active it is.
11:16:16 <warlord> Depends how old.
11:16:19 <warlord> ;)
11:17:08 <Egodharma> I have formatted my computer and i have saved all files with my account and relatives log-extension
11:17:32 <Egodharma> But now i don't temeber how old was my gnucash version.
11:17:33 <warlord> Didn't you ask this question on the mailing list?
11:17:53 <Egodharma> I have sent but no reply still come back!
11:18:24 <Egodharma> So, i installed a new version of gnuchash and this one no read old file.....
11:18:31 <jsled> it only got moderated through about an hour ago.
11:18:39 <warlord> I sent a replyat 10:36..
11:18:40 <Egodharma> Can I do to recovery ALL my account data?
11:18:55 <warlord> What happens when you File -> Open the file?
11:19:25 <Egodharma> Diplay an error message. Can open etc. etc
11:19:29 <Egodharma> Can't
11:20:11 <Egodharma> Excuse for my english, it is scholatics and writing fast i make many error.
11:20:37 <warlord> What OS/Distro are you using?
11:21:48 <Egodharma> Windows XP
11:22:32 <warlord> And what version did you just install?
11:23:10 <Egodharma> Last version 2.2.9
11:23:18 <warlord> OKay..
11:23:32 <warlord> And what file(s) did you backup?
11:23:42 <Egodharma> But i have tried with 2.2.0 too.. same situation
11:23:54 <Egodharma> from old version?
11:24:27 <warlord> Yes. What files did you backup before you re-installed your machine?
11:24:27 <Egodharma> Simply i have saved with name all my accoutn (I think 4 or 5!) with relatives log file.
11:24:52 <warlord> Please be more explicit..
11:25:08 <Egodharma> ok, I explain
11:25:19 <jsled> a paste-bin'ed directory listing would be good.
11:25:23 <jsled> http://pastebin.ca/
11:25:33 <jsled> http://dpaste.com/
11:28:12 <warlord> Also, to which directory did you restore these files?
11:29:25 <Egodharma> Error message, exactly says: "Impossible to open url: c:/documents and settings\my name\documenti\registro gnucash\account name"
11:29:50 <Egodharma> is it necessary to choose a specific dicrectory?
11:30:04 <Egodharma> I choose one without criteria
11:30:15 <warlord> It depends.. what is "my name"
11:30:38 <warlord> ... and do any of these directories have accented characters in the name?
11:31:06 <Egodharma> my first and last name. In my computer is the place of documents
11:31:21 <Egodharma> No, i think no accented carachters
11:32:08 <Egodharma> Maybe, i must to place restored file in a specific system directory?
11:32:26 <warlord> no, you should be able to put it into any directory...
11:33:07 <warlord> I seem to recall seeing this issue before, where it's mis-interpreting the 'c:'. Do you have any punctuation marks?
11:33:45 <Egodharma> Sorry, I don't understand....
11:34:09 <Egodharma> What patience should have, guy............
11:34:40 <warlord> In the directory, is there any punctuation? Like &, :, ', ...
11:35:00 <Egodharma> no
11:35:40 <Egodharma> If i try to save a new account with new version in the same directory, i have no problem
11:36:26 <Egodharma> But i needed my old data. An year data! If i lost this data, an incredible amount of work is lost.
11:37:19 <Egodharma> Do you know that this trouble sitution happens to someone else?
11:37:59 <warlord> Okay, how about this: Create a new file. Save it. Exit GnuCash. Then move your old data over the new file. Then restart gnucash again.
11:39:56 <Egodharma> ok, now i try!
11:45:30 <Egodharma> Program says: "format of file * is not knowed (in italian, of course - now I translate for you!)
11:45:53 <Egodharma> not knowed = unknow
11:46:55 <warlord> which program?
11:47:05 <warlord> GnuCash?
11:47:18 *** Egodharma has quit IRC
11:50:14 *** Egodharma has joined #gnucash
11:50:39 <Egodharma> My google chrome is crashed!
11:51:38 <Egodharma> If is it possible, I want to make only a question.
11:52:15 <Egodharma> is it possible to get an old version of gnucash for windows? oldest than 2.2.0?
11:55:56 <warlord> There was nothing before 2.2.0 for Windows.
12:03:11 <Egodharma> I thinked this one too..........
12:03:36 <Egodharma> So the problem is not the old version but something else.
12:04:02 <Egodharma> Thank you very much Warlord for help. And patience for my english.....
12:04:30 <Egodharma> Now I try in others computer, so I can see what problem there are.
12:04:31 <warlord> You're welcome.
12:04:35 <warlord> Okay..
12:05:16 <Egodharma> See you later and best regards from italy
12:06:03 <warlord> Good luck!
