15:24:42 <holt_kessler> hi folks, has anyone ever had an account simply disappear on them?
15:29:31 <warlord> Not without deleting it
15:33:59 <holt_kessler> warlord, all that remains of it is account_name.gnucash.gcm
15:34:26 <holt_kessler> and gnucash can't open it -no proper backend it says
15:35:06 <holt_kessler> I'm very careful with my accounts -this is strange
15:35:33 <warlord> GCM is not a gnucash data file, it's a Gnucash Configuration Metadata file.
15:35:52 <warlord> You want to find an 'account_name.gnucash' somewhere, and it would NOT be in the same place as your .gcm file under ~/.gnucash
15:36:52 <holt_kessler> I looked -it be gone
15:37:50 <warlord> Then you, or someone, deleted the file.. Just like you would delete any other file on your system.
15:38:02 <warlord> ... like deleting a Word document.
15:38:11 * holt_kessler nods
15:38:18 <warlord> What happens when you try to Open GnuCash?
15:38:27 <holt_kessler> it opens fine
15:38:35 <warlord> And what file did it open?
15:38:38 <holt_kessler> 2.4.11
15:38:53 <warlord> not what version, what data file? It will open the most recently used data file
15:38:56 <holt_kessler> another account
15:39:04 <warlord> And it's not in File -> Recent?
15:39:30 <holt_kessler> that was the thing of it -it acted like it was the first time I installed it
15:39:49 <warlord> What do you mean "first time I installed it"?
15:39:56 <warlord> There seems to be something you're not saying..
15:39:57 <holt_kessler> thats why debian experimental is the playground of debian devs
15:40:30 <holt_kessler> no -not in recent
15:40:43 <warlord> How many data files do you have/use?
15:40:51 <holt_kessler> I crawled all over the fs -it ain't there
15:41:04 <holt_kessler> data files
15:41:06 <warlord> find / -name \*.gnucash returns nothing?
15:41:07 <holt_kessler> ?
15:41:12 <holt_kessler> sec
15:41:16 <warlord> yes, gnucash data files
15:43:23 <holt_kessler> I get a bunch of permission denied statements
15:44:04 <warlord> ignore those... (or run the find as root)
15:44:14 <holt_kessler> warlord, I don't want to waste any more of your time now
15:44:21 <holt_kessler> sec
15:45:26 <holt_kessler> ok I found one account test.gnucash -thats all
15:45:49 <holt_kessler> I backed up my stuff
15:46:08 <warlord> how about find / -name account_name\*
15:46:28 <holt_kessler> but the missing account remains yes -missing
15:46:41 <warlord> not in your backups?
15:47:56 <holt_kessler> no
15:48:18 <warlord> are you sure you didnt store it on a removable drive?
15:48:30 <holt_kessler> I did twice
15:48:58 <holt_kessler> a little 8gb stick for stuff like that
15:49:42 <warlord> maybe gnucash was looking for it there?
15:49:56 <holt_kessler> so the search brings me to /book/accountname.gnucash.gcm
15:50:16 <holt_kessler> and the logs
15:50:17 <warlord> /book?
15:50:31 <warlord> the logs?? where are the logs located?
15:50:51 <holt_kessler> in /books
15:51:02 <holt_kessler> for that account
15:51:11 <holt_kessler> auto generated
15:51:15 <warlord> the datafile should coexist with the logs
15:51:36 <holt_kessler> where be the xac files?
15:51:45 <holt_kessler> .xac?
15:52:05 <holt_kessler> like skeleton file
15:52:15 <warlord> the .xac files are backups
15:52:22 <holt_kessler> sec brb
15:52:46 <warlord> again, should co-exist with main data file
16:04:44 <holt_kessler> ok just so I know,if joe_user sets up a simple gnucash account whats the proper filename gnucash gives it -joe_user.gnucash or joe_user.gcm?
16:09:34 <warlord> the former. gcm is an internal metadata file
16:09:42 <holt_kessler> ok
16:10:00 <warlord> earlier versions would name it without a trailer, so it would be whatever you put in there, "joe_user"
16:10:29 <holt_kessler> I think the fs on /home is not behaving OR there is a permissions problem
16:10:42 <warlord> that could be.
16:10:43 *** Topcat has quit IRC
16:11:02 <holt_kessler> thats waht ya get for playin' with experimental repo
16:11:28 <holt_kessler> warlord, thanks for the helps
16:12:46 <warlord> i have no idea how your file got deleted, gnucash wouldnt
16:13:03 * holt_kessler nods
16:13:43 <holt_kessler> its fine I wanted to fix up that account anyways
16:20:53 <warlord> LOL. Ok.
16:28:44 <holt_kessler> ok bye for now,
