03:01:11 <gour> morning
03:02:32 <gour> on the mailing list i read the msgs in regard to the uncertain future of Gmane service. do you consider it is wise to switch to mailing lists? (iirc, warlord mentioned he got bounced msgs)
03:07:53 <kjetilho> gour: Gmane will continue as an NNTP gateway run by Lars, and a big non-profit will take responsibility for the web interface
03:08:33 <gour> kjetilho: ohh, that's good news. where did you read about it?
03:10:37 <kjetilho> I know him well :)
03:12:35 <gour> ahh, thanks a lot ;)
03:13:03 <gour> i'd be very sad without gmane

08:58:04 <warlord> rockit: what version of gnucash?
09:03:29 <rockit> 2.6.9 (2015-10-08) fedora
09:03:37 <rockit> warlord:
09:05:56 <warlord> rockit: hmm. well 2.6.13 is current. What happens when you try to run the report? What does "doesn't work" mean, exactly?
09:08:00 <rockit> warlord: i think i didnt "run the reports" - i simply list and sum the transactions - now it works :)))
09:08:10 <warlord> ???
09:09:30 <rockit> i quit my irc client - my actual question was in an earlier session
09:10:02 <warlord> rockit: the only question I see from you is: <rockit> "transaction report" dosnt work on my fedora system if started with "LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=de_DE gnucash"???
09:10:31 <warlord> But I'm not sure what you mean by "I simply list and sum the transactions - now it works"
09:12:34 <rockit> warlord: as far as i can say the "transaction report" can be done when starting gnucash with "LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=de_DE gnucash"
09:12:59 *** fabior has joined #gnucash
09:13:10 <rockit> only when starting it with "gnucash" (in the english default version)
09:13:36 <warlord> rockit: what happens when you run it in de_DE?
09:15:44 <rockit> it says: "Fehler im Bericht/n/nBeim Erstellen des Berichts ist ein Fehler aufgetreten." and there is some console output
09:16:34 <warlord> Can you pastebin the console output?
09:16:34 <rockit> it sometimes work when not using a secondary sorting key
09:16:54 <warlord> fell_: any chance you could translate that?

09:20:57 <rockit> pastebin?
09:21:04 *** fell_ is now known as fell
09:21:36 *** MagicFab has quit IRC
09:21:37 <warlord> Looks like a time parsing/formatting issue.
09:21:43 <warlord> yes. pastebin.
09:22:13 <fell> "Error in report. Creating the report ...
09:23:02 <rockit> pastebin.com dont work with tor?
09:24:09 <warlord> try pastebin.ca ?
09:24:49 <warlord> Do you by chance have any dates of 1969 or 1970 in your data file?
09:25:04 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell
09:26:24 <rockit> warlord: nope - it 2015
09:26:31 <rockit> warlord: http://pastebin.com/hj3FPNLQ
09:28:29 <warlord> It looks like the strftime() is failing.
09:30:09 <rockit> warlord: maybe this is why it work when not sorting by a secondary key by date
09:31:09 <warlord> Could be.
09:31:34 <warlord> Can you do this: zcat /path/to/datafile.gnucash | egrep '1969|1970'
09:31:39 <rockit> strftime is tricky - probably
09:31:49 <warlord> (obviously plug in your correct file)
09:34:03 <rockit> warlord: it says 2015.gnucash: not in gzip format
09:35:17 <rockit> with cat 2015.gnucash it says: "<trn:id type="guid">e02d18919707bb1467f0c037908c66c5</trn:id>
09:35:17 <rockit> "
09:36:12 <fell> then try egrep ... path/to/file
09:36:53 <rockit> fell: i tryed: "cat 2015.gnucash | egrep '1969|1970'"
09:37:39 <fell> and got only teh guid, no date strings?
09:38:05 <rockit> jepp
09:38:23 <rockit> all dates are 2015
09:38:32 <fell> I am wondering about line 3: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
09:38:52 <rockit> probably because of ä ö ü etc.
09:39:33 <warlord> rockit: what version of fedora is this?
09:39:53 <fell> Can you run 'echo $LANG'
09:40:37 <rockit> warlord, its rather old about 18 month
09:40:45 <rockit> fell: en_US.utf8
09:40:46 <fell> older version preferred @euro instead of utf-8
09:41:41 <fell> I don't know, which encoding your fedora defaults
09:41:43 <warlord> rockit: how old?
09:42:53 <rockit> warlord: fedora 21
09:43:40 <warlord> rockit: that's recent enough that it shouldn't require the @euro
09:43:47 <fell> You should prbably use 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 gnucash'
09:45:13 <fell> But @euro stand for ISO-encoding
09:50:09 <rockit> fell: "LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 gnucash" seems to work
09:51:30 <rockit> maybe i use "LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8" too?
09:52:08 <warlord> rockit: also, I've never needed "LANGUAGE" on Fedora
09:53:04 <fell> No need for $LANGUAGE
09:53:11 <fell> read http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Konfiguration#Lokalisierung_.28Einstellung_der_Sprache.2C_W.C3.A4hrung.2C_Formate_....29
09:53:45 <fell> or http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings
09:55:14 <fell> If we had e.g. nds too and you would prfer nds over de, the you should set $LANGUAGE="nds:de"
09:56:37 <rockit> fell: "http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings" has the "LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=de_DE gnucash" example (which i picked up)
09:58:18 <warlord> rockit: that's needed for Ubuntu
09:58:21 <warlord> Not Fedora
09:58:44 <rockit> warlord: oha - tricky
09:59:52 <fell> From my POV your version of Fedora is defaulting to the outdated ISO encoding
10:00:51 <rockit> however as far as it concerned me -- i happy -- thx :)
10:01:27 <fell> Hm, I have to think over the english wiki page.
10:02:08 <fell> I believe, most was written before we understood the meaning of $LANGUAGE
10:06:09 *** meb has joined #gnucash
10:07:52 <warlord> I still don't quite understand its meaning ;)
10:08:33 <fell> LANG sets all formats, currency, ...
10:09:10 <fell> LANGUAGE is a priority list of languages like in your browser
10:10:10 *** meb has quit IRC
10:10:33 <fell> You are in the US, so set LANG=en_US[.UTF-8].
10:11:29 <fell> The set e.g. LANGUAGE=yi:es:en
10:12:16 <fell> If there is a yiddish po file it will use it, falling back to spanish, falling back to english
10:13:14 <fell> The official source: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html#The-LANGUAGE-variable

16:17:54 <kris_> Hate to be repetitive, but really haven't been able to find any thing about how to do this after couple hours of searching in manuals and on-line. Maybe it can't be done? Maybe I need to learn a new skill? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
16:18:35 <kris_> OPPS! in last message I forgot to mention I'm trying to print a vendor list with contact info from gnu-cash. Sorry.
16:31:58 <warlord> Hey kris_ ..
16:32:27 <warlord> No need to repeat your question. Sometimes there's just a delay before someone looks at this window.
16:33:34 *** mlncn has quit IRC
16:34:04 <kris_> Sorry. Pretty new to all of this...
16:35:27 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
16:37:29 <warlord> no worries.
16:38:45 *** mlncn has quit IRC
16:42:13 <warlord> I'm not sure there's actually a way. Maybe the Customer Summary report?
16:47:21 <warlord> You might want to peruse the gnucash-user mailing list.
16:52:14 *** kael has quit IRC
16:55:13 <kris_> warlord: Thanks. I tried Vendor summary, no luck as far as I could figure. Customer summary seems to be customers only - didn't see how to look at vendors. Gotta admit, I didn't think to search mailing list. Best I've found (to now) was similar request in gnu-cash "wishlist". Didn't find a resolution though... I'll have to search the mail list later (missed lunch 2 hours ago, matter of priorities!). Thanks for the help & good idea.
16:58:24 <warlord> kris_: Unfortunately I dont think such a thing exists. I know *I* didn't write that in. The data is available, but no report to easily pull it out.
17:09:30 <kris_> warlord: Thanks for the info. I did the recommended search of mail list (via the site:lists.gnucash... as recommended) and found nothing - even just searching for word "vendor" and "list". I suspect I can easier create list(s) manually than learn to access the database for a custom report. For what it's worth... I find such things very handy to print & put in a binder. My work keeps me away from computer & am often in areas with
17:09:30 <kris_> no/limited cell contact. Having a list makes it so easy to just look up a number & call. Yea, I could populate the phone contact lists, but it wouldn't be the first time I lost/ drowned/ crushed a phone and wished I had paper on hand! I'm so bad, I keep manual logs to do data entry. Double duty, but I have an infallible backup! (IF the filing gets done!) Thanks for your help! Just don't have TOO MUCH fun today! Bye.
17:11:30 <warlord> LOL
17:11:40 <warlord> No worries. And good luck. Sorry.
