09:19:00 <warlord> linas: I do think you're right that it's a PON. there are passive splitters at the entrance to my neighborhood.

10:38:09 <avionii> 150? what do you have, a wireless g?
10:38:44 *** O01eg has joined #gnucash
10:39:35 <warlord> avionii: That was wired!
10:40:10 <warlord> It's my router. When I connected directly to my ISP router I got 500mbps down / 900 up
10:40:39 <warlord> So there's clearly a blockage on my side; I'm guessing it's the Mikrotik
10:42:14 *** mrklintscher has quit IRC
10:44:21 *** avionii has quit IRC
10:45:51 <warlord> I tested 2 configs: 1) direct wire laptop to ISP router, and 2) laptop wired to cisco switch, wired to mikrotik, wired to ISP router. The second config gave me the 150-200, whereas the first was 500/900. Not sure why only 500 down... Need to talk to them about that.
10:46:20 <warlord> I DOUBT my issue is my switch.
10:46:48 <warlord> which only leaves one device.

11:57:00 <BrianA_MN> I'm wondering if there is a new USA tax file, because some codes I used last year aren't available this year when I upgraded to 2.6.15?
12:30:02 *** kael has joined #gnucash
12:40:51 <BrianA_MN> OK Maybe I found the answer. But it begs a new question. Does GNUCash allow a way to setup different qif imports depending on the business type? For example I have a US-Corp "S" corp but my wife operates one as a sole proprietor. Her accounts must be setup differently than mine. But the imports from PayPal account files are duplicate source names and GNUCash imports them to the same file names.
12:41:08 *** kael has quit IRC
12:45:33 <warlord> BrianA_MN: unfortunately the qif-acocunt-map is global. Your best bet is to name the download file differently so it thinks it's a "different QIF File"
12:45:54 <warlord> Then you can have different mappings.
12:46:53 <BrianA_MN> So the mapping is based off the name given to the file. So simply naming it PalPal-me and PayPal-her should allow different import rules? Correct or wrong?

14:02:46 <warlord> BrianA_MN: I am *pretty sure* that is the case.
14:06:13 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
14:29:32 <BrianA_MN> Can you edit the qif-account-map? Or how does a person reset or better yet back it up?
14:30:15 <warlord> Like all things, you should not hand-edit files created by GnuCash.
14:30:30 <warlord> You can reset it by deleting it. You back it up the same way you back up any other file.
14:31:54 <fell> or database, if using *SQL
14:33:32 <BrianA_MN> OK Thanks warlord, you information is helpful. I have a backup of ~/.gnucash/qif-account-map from before my re-install that maybe I'll replace the current with the backup. IF I emacs the file to read it, it doesn't really show the PayPal account but shows a number of exceptions that were remapped to proper accounts. But I've been struggling this year because I had to re-map them all.
14:34:05 <BrianA_MN> Was simply looking for a easier way to get my remaps completed.
14:34:35 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
14:36:22 <BrianA_MN> I expect that it would be a bad decision to simply use the whole ~/.gnucash backup directory, which also has my other store points for the real files and the sandback?

14:37:02 <BrianA_MN> (sp) oyah sandbox
14:39:14 <fell> If you are working with so many different versions, you should consider to use a version control system
14:39:52 <BrianA_MN> no there aren't many versions. I've only upgrade GNUCash once in four years of use.
14:40:28 <warlord> fell: it's more multiple users/data files sharing a single qif source
14:41:16 <BrianA_MN> It was my having to re-install my OS and then I decided to also upgrade GNUCash to latest version that cause my home directory not have any gnucash files. So it was starting blank.

15:20:24 <fell> gjanssens: After removing the outdated distro provided gnucash, make check has no longer problems with import-export.
15:22:00 <fell> But now I get some /usr/bin/intltool-update -m
15:22:41 <fell> But it might be related to using a separate build dir
15:22:59 *** cartsoftware has joined #gnucash
15:24:33 <fell> build/*/*.scm not in POTFILES.in
15:27:14 <fell> Would you like "Please report to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=browse.html&product=GnuCash" instead of gnucash-devel?
15:29:29 <gjanssens> fell: I think that would be better indeed
15:33:18 <fell> commited
15:42:41 <fell> and to docs
15:48:49 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
16:02:25 <gjanssens> fell: tx
16:03:29 <fell> All spin offs of my reseach of gnome doc utils
16:11:15 <gjanssens> That's time usefully spent then :)
16:11:24 <gjanssens> I'm off for tonight...
16:11:34 <gjanssens> See you all tomorrow

16:21:24 <warlord> NO WONDER my network is going so Wonky.. Alex just forwarded a 5MB email message to the gnucash list -- so it's got 1.5GB of data to send out!!
16:22:18 <fell> His TXF update?
16:22:41 <warlord> No, "Re: Problem with GnuCash" email
16:22:46 <warlord> (I think to -user)
16:25:53 <fell> So, we know Erasmus has a nice camera ;-)
16:26:29 <warlord> LOL
16:29:20 <fell> I am waiting for the day when a user sends the invoice of his monitor because we asked for a screen shot
16:29:51 <warlord> hahaha

17:33:06 *** BrianA_MN has joined #gnucash
17:35:19 <BrianA_MN> I'm wondering if anyone has a best practice for where to create the cost of goods sold account for a sole proprietor small business? I currently have it split between Asset (where it keeps track of inventory bought) and Expense (where I transfer from asset when sold)
17:36:42 <BrianA_MN> Problem is that I can't get my TXF report to show me the total value of inventory at end of year, because it doesn't have a Schedule C expense assignable. Been trying to figure this out all day.
17:37:33 *** tuxd00d has quit IRC
17:39:02 <BrianA_MN> Can a parent account (where your subaccount subtotals to) not be included in a TXF report?

23:37:58 <linas> warlord, if you can figure out how to distribute mail serving, I can run it.
23:38:37 <warlord> linas: I'm not sure how that would work. How would we distribute mailman?
