06:35:54 <ef> Hello there! I have some troubles getting currencies exchange rates within gnucash.
06:36:15 <ef> I get the error message
06:36:17 <ef> Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
06:36:19 <ef> CURRENCY:USD
06:36:21 <ef> CURRENCY:EUR
06:36:46 <ef> I am using Fedora 26 and perl-Finance-Quote seems to be installed.

07:28:11 <lmat> chris_: I don't know how to do anything like that in github. I would recommend running git remote add -t time64-ftw lmat git@github.com:limitedatonement/gnucash; (then you have my branch as lmat/time64-ftw). Then, since you already have some commits, put them on top of my work with git rebase --onto lmat/time64-ftw <branch start> <branch head>; <branch start> might be gnucash/unstable? and I forgot
07:28:17 <lmat> your branch's name for branch head.

11:06:34 <gjanssens> ef: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_online_quoting_work.3F
11:07:08 <ef> gjanssens: Thanks! I'll read it right away!
11:08:51 <gjanssens> You're welcome
11:09:46 <ef> gjanssens: so I suspect the Service Change: Finance::Quote
11:10:16 <ef> Is there a way to update the Finance::Quote to version 1.41 if Fedora is currently on 1.38?
11:11:40 <gjanssens> ef: good question... You may be able to do it via cpan. This is a perl module repository and the home of F::Q
11:11:52 <ef> Like, using some perl inbuilt stuff
11:12:18 <gjanssens> I haven't tried this although I'm on Fedora as well (I'm not using the online quotes myself)
11:13:15 <gjanssens> cpan can be installed via dnf/yum. The package name is perl-CPAN
11:14:42 <gjanssens> ef: we have a wiki page on cpan, though I don't know whether it's up to date: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/CPAN
11:19:57 <ef> aha... s_u_d_o cpan -i Finance::Quote seems to have done the trick)
11:21:08 <gjanssens> :)
11:23:07 <getling> @gjanssens - relatedly, any idea on my error message?
11:23:07 <gncbot> getling: Error: "gjanssens" is not a valid command.
11:23:33 <getling> gjanssens: relatedly, any idea on my error message?
11:24:24 *** carwynnelson has joined #gnucash
11:24:42 <gjanssens> getling: unfortunately no
11:24:54 <gjanssens> I suggest you post this on the gnucash-user mailing list
11:25:00 <getling> Thanks.
11:25:09 <getling> That was going to be my next stop :)
11:25:11 <gjanssens> The author of finance::quote monitors that list
11:26:16 <ef> hm... the currencies still dont load...
11:27:19 <gjanssens> ef: there have been several threads on the gnucash-user list recently and I believe the currencies problems came up there as well
11:27:37 <gjanssens> I haven't followed them closely so I can't tell you much more
11:28:00 <gjanssens> Perhaps you can search the list archive or it's nabble mirror for mre info
11:28:24 <ef> gjanssens: all right, I'll look there! Thank you for your help!

12:46:15 <fell> gjanssens: gnucash ships a lelper script gnc-fq-update. just run it as root (su[do] ...)
12:46:30 <fell> helper

13:01:51 *** fekepp has joined #gnucash
13:16:16 *** analysis has quit IRC
13:22:25 <gjanssens> fell: that helper script is not always installed via distro packages and in fact it's not on Fedora :(
13:22:42 <gjanssens> Which makes sense as they normally have a separate package for F::Q

13:28:15 <fell> gjanssens: I would prefer if they did it like SuSE: thei patch a warning about loosing support.
13:29:38 <fell> and use different pathes perl modules from distro and CPAN

18:57:33 <fell> jralls, about Liz's change, I had the self thought.
18:59:09 <fell> Perhaps we should add a new entry to www, to lead the attention orf more users to the current discussion on gnucash-user.
19:15:21 *** analysis has joined #gnucash
19:31:28 <warlord> fell: Too bad the news feed isn't on the top of the main page anymore... ;)
19:32:14 <fell> IMHo that move was not very clever.
19:32:58 <warlord> It can always be reverted.
19:40:08 <jralls> Maybe we could have that part two ways: List headlines on the main page that link to the articles in the news page.
19:41:15 <fell> Good idea!
19:42:52 <jralls> But the real problem is SEO, I think. Too many users are having their monthly price downloads break and when they search for it they come up empty.
19:48:43 <fell> Also the "unknown system error" could be more verbose.
19:51:41 <jralls> It could. Also more correct: It's generally not a system error, it's a failed download of some sort. Making it actually useful would require more sophisticated error handling inside of gnc-fq-helper and quotes.scm.
19:52:04 <CDB-Away_> hmm, after using it for a few days, i can confirm that alphavantage seems cannot do currency. and the currency cannot have its source data changed
19:53:43 <CDB-Away_> always defaults to single -- currency, if you try to edit it, it reverts back

19:57:15 <CDB-Away_> Lovely
19:57:25 *** CDB-Away_ is now known as CDB-Away
19:57:50 <fell> But I used the wrong pattern
20:01:11 <CDB-Away> At least the job is done!
20:01:55 <fell> It is using every night a different name and ip.
20:05:24 <CDB-Away> Sigh
