10:52:57 <Martin> Hi, I am running 2.6.1 and I am having trouble downloading quotes with Active perl installed, since a couple of weeks ago (7.2.14) is has stopped working and I get this error message: 'There was an unknown error while retrieving the price quotes.' Is there a fault with the server or my setup, any advice would help.
10:53:02 <warlord> JoTraGo: HI. I see that you are using Thunderbird IRC. Please stop using it, as it spams the channel with connect/disconnect messages.
10:53:36 <warlord> Martin: FAQ. You need to update F::Q to 1.20
10:53:39 <mikee> @op
10:53:39 *** gncbot sets mode: +o mikee
10:53:48 <warlord> oops, sorry mikee ... missed you
10:53:55 <mikee> :)
10:55:03 <Martin> many thanks I'll give it a go

11:54:05 <bushguy> Long time user of gnucash. using older version 2.4.12 on linux computer and 2.4.9 on windows XP computer. Used to track mutual funds etc. Last updated security prices in January. No problem. Now neither computer can update security prices. Price editor can't find prices. How do I update prices? Am I forced to upgrade to latest version?

12:42:34 <gjanssens> bushguy_: FAQ. You need to update F::Q to 1.20
12:43:55 <gjanssens> As you are on Windows using an older version of GnuCash that means you have installed ActivePerl
12:44:31 <gjanssens> That perl doesn't ship with 1.20 yet. But I had some success updating quotes after I reinstalled ActivePerl
12:44:32 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
12:44:45 <bushguy_> gjanssens yes windows has active perl installed and worked fine up to two months ago
12:45:03 <gjanssens> and reran the script to install F::Q
12:45:31 <bushguy_> gjanssens I'm sorry. What is F::Q to 1.2
12:45:39 <gjanssens> Please seach the mailing list archives of the last couple of days for more on this topic
12:45:57 <gjanssens> My fingers hurt from repeating this information so often
12:46:15 <Martin> How do you update toF::Q 1.20 on windows with active perl, as yu say 1.18 is the only one it can see as an update
12:46:42 <gjanssens> Yes but oddly enough that version worked for me as well after I completely reinstalled it
12:46:44 <bushguy_> gjanssens ok didn't realize this is a problem for many
12:47:02 <gjanssens> It's yahoo that changed its interface
12:47:24 <gjanssens> Everybody fetching quotes from their service is having this issue
12:48:21 <bushguy_> gjanssens thank you very much for the feedback and your time. I'll look at the mailing list. Is yahoo the only quote source for gnucash?
12:48:26 <Martin> F::Q 1.18 worked fine up to 7.2.14 then it stopped working
12:50:08 <gjanssens> bushguy_ for most quotes yes. There are other quote sources but most of them are aliases for yahoo...
12:50:31 <gjanssens> Martin: I only tested currency conversions. Perhaps that part was not affected.
12:50:59 <gjanssens> If it doesn't work for you after a fresh install of ActivePerl you can only wait until ActivePerl updates its F::Q package
12:51:05 <bushguy_> gjanssens thanks again. have a great day. bye
12:51:20 <gjanssens> It appears to be in testing so expect it to arrive in one of the next days/weeks or so
12:51:38 <gjanssens> bushguy_ you're welcome
12:51:56 *** bushguy_ has quit IRC
12:56:52 <gjanssens> Martin: the other option is to manually correct the yahoo url. It's a one line change in the existing finance-quote module
12:57:20 <gjanssens> More details can be found in the mailing list history
12:57:32 <gjanssens> http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2014-February/052943.html is probably a good starting point

13:25:57 <fell> gjanssens: you can get most shares via yahoo, but many fund companies dislike to see their rates there.
13:29:03 <fell> So many fund companies have their own modules like german adig/comdirect, deka, dws, union.
13:38:40 <Martin> Many thanks for your help.
