01:32:21 <kundan> I am a windows user. i use gnucash. i think it would have been faster if it have been made with windows in mind only.

15:47:24 *** Topcat has joined #gnucash
15:48:38 <stl> greetings, all. i am suddenly getting an "error parsing the file ... accounts.gnucash", with nothing tremendously helpful in the logs, except:
15:48:42 <stl> * 21:28:08 WARN <gnc.backend> [void gnc_xml_be_load_from_file()()] Syntax error in Xml File /home/stl/GnuCash/accounts.gnucash
15:49:07 <stl> anyone got any pointers for narrowing it down a bit further?
15:54:49 <warlord> stl: did you recently do any imports into your data file?
15:55:22 <stl> nope, no imports. everything is manually entered
15:55:31 <stl> my last snapshot (from a few weeks ago) works fine
15:55:55 <warlord> Did you change anything by hand?
15:56:13 <warlord> (run a diff between the last working backup and the first non-working backup to see what changed?)
15:57:00 <stl> heh, i was just about to do the diff, now that i figured they were just gzipped xml files
16:00:03 <stl> warlord, it just seems to be the expected additional transactions, nothing unusual (to my eye)
16:01:01 <stl> so i guess there's something it doesn't like about one of those transactions
16:04:02 <warlord> any dates in the '1969' range?
16:04:11 <warlord> any non-unicode characters?
16:04:26 <warlord> (are you SURE you didn't import anything when the data broke?)
16:04:31 *** Topcat has quit IRC
16:07:54 <stl> no 1969, no non-unicode, and i have never imported anything, just manual data entry
16:08:07 <warlord> Hmmm...
16:08:10 <warlord> What OS/Distro?
16:08:23 <stl> and i'm fairly sure there was nothing unusual about any of those entries, either
16:08:35 <stl> freebsd 10-current ;-)
16:09:14 <stl> i think i need a nicer way to diff these xml files, plain diff gets a bit confused
16:10:58 <warlord> diff | grep 1960
16:11:01 <warlord> er, 1969
16:11:04 <warlord> also | grep 1970
16:11:31 <warlord> what version of gnucash?
16:11:36 <stl> no occurrences of 1969, the only 1970 is in a hash
16:11:53 <stl> gnucash-2.4.13
16:14:42 <stl> i just opened the old version, entered a transaction, saved it, restarted gnucash and it loaded that fine. so i guess there must be something funny in one of those transactions; i'll see if i can track it down
16:17:08 <stl> ah, i also have all the corresponding .log files, apparently
16:18:56 <stl> (i also really need to increase my filesystem snapshot and backup frequency!)
16:23:16 <warlord> :)
16:38:30 <stl> warlord: well, thanks for your help anyway, but i think it shall remain a mystery. i have now replayed all the log files (and saved and reloaded) and it works...
16:40:32 <stl> ok, but this is really weird. the diff between my newly reconstructed account file and the broken one is just an additional test transaction i just entered
16:40:49 <stl> and the transaction count
16:41:18 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
16:42:22 <stl> oh! that's a lie. (sorry for talking to myself...)
16:45:15 <stl> there are additional fields in all those transactions, <trn:slots>
16:52:19 <warlord> Hmmm...
