09:20:55 <warlord> linas: dig is still reporting rrsigs that expired July 1
09:30:38 <hhn10> when reading a sqlite data file, is the base currency for the book the commodity stored for the root account ?
09:38:37 <warlord> hhn10: what do you mean by "base currency for the book"?
09:44:28 <hhn10> well, my main currency is CHF, when I create a new book I need to chose a currency for the new accounts - I want to find that currency using sql.
09:46:36 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
09:56:39 <warlord> Hmm.. I'm honestly not sure where that gets stored.
10:01:23 <warlord> linas: Ah, nevermind -- looks like that's an issue with my local cache.
10:01:40 <hhn10> thanks warlord, I will work with assumption that it is the currency of the Root Account, I can change this if somebody tells me it is somewhere else.
10:02:09 <warlord> hhn10: well, you could test the theory by creating a bunch of different data files in different currencies and checking :)
10:03:22 <hhn10> :-) it works in my file, and when I share my little tools others can assist testing.
10:04:51 <warlord> Okay. I would still considering creating one or two more files just to verify.
10:12:55 <hhn10> just created two test files. Without any transactions, the "base currency" is the first and only entry in the commodities table and is also set in the commodity_guid filed of the root account in the accouts table.
10:28:12 <warlord> Well there you go :)

17:43:43 <unkown> I have been struggling with the following in gnucash, When I have some debt from a loan when starting a new file. I need to have a equity->opening balances->debt... account that credits the liability account right?
17:45:18 <unkown> This will make my liability go up, and my equity will be my assests minus my liabilitys.
17:45:21 <unkown> Is this correct?
17:46:10 <unkown> The problem occurs once I want to make a budget, The goal of the budget is to make sure I will save enough money to put in to my savings by the end of the month
17:46:29 <unkown> but on the budget I am unable to "spend" the money to repay my debt
17:46:41 <unkown> since its not actually a payment, but rather a transfer...
17:47:00 <unkown> So how could I make a report that includes the payment of my debt each month?
17:48:02 <unkown> I am sorry if its not clear, if you didnt understand what I said I can provide some screenshots or more details...
18:05:52 <unkown> Like, Do I need to add a negative value to my liability in the report? from what I recal this would actually be a gain, but since I already spend the money I should not be gaining nothing
18:06:15 <unkown> Also how would I treat asset accounts in a budget?

21:21:41 *** Intergage has joined #gnucash
21:22:17 <Intergage> Hey all, can someone explain to me why when I put in an income into Salary GnuCash automatically put a transaction under it as a charge, zeroing out the account?
21:23:31 <Intergage> http://imgur.com/ka4Vti1 - Like that./
21:24:38 <warlord> Intergage: because you entered in the same account for the Debit and Credit by putting the "current" account in the transfer column.
21:24:38 <Intergage> And also, how do you get neg values in the accounts like Loans and the sorts.
21:24:55 <Intergage> Ahh ok, understand! Thanks
21:25:04 <warlord> Your salary should credit Income:Salary and debit Assets:Checking
21:25:41 <warlord> I'm not sure what you mean by "negative values"... Either enter it as a debit or credit depending on which way the value is flowing.
21:27:02 <Intergage> I got it now, didn't realise I had to change the Transfer field on the second transaction.
21:28:08 <Intergage> Thanks man!
21:28:50 <warlord> It's not a "second" transaction. It's one transaction with two splits (a debit and a credit), and you sent both splits to the same account so it shows up on two lines.
21:29:12 <warlord> Anyways, happy to help.
21:30:14 <warlord> Gotta run
21:32:37 <Intergage> Laters man
23:00:07 <TomServo> I'm likely being dense, but I can't seem to figure out how to create a loan and scheduled repayment with a regular overpayment. What am I missing?
23:01:07 <Intergage> Dude, im having the same problem haha.
23:01:26 <Intergage> Money and accounts confuses me so much -.-
