11:48:53 <gjanssens> Looks like the check printing crasher also started there...

12:21:59 <grede> Hi All, I have an issue with saving a file. Saving a new gnucash file works, everytime. But when I try to save again a file that I modified, the client crashes (I assume, it just goes away, no errors, no nothing). I read online that some issues might be with google drives, etc. failing the saving, since the app is trying to update the file before save is completed. Tried to find anything one wiki but didnt manage. Any suggest
12:21:59 <grede> ions what I might be doing wrong?
12:22:23 <grede> and I tried saving in multiple locations, no difference.
12:22:55 <warlord> grede, what OS/Distro? And what underlying file system are you using?
12:24:00 <grede> windows 3.4 stable. Sorry I don't know answer to second question. I didn't make any modifications to default
12:24:24 <grede> os is win 10

12:35:21 *** fabior has quit IRC
12:36:00 *** nimish has joined #gnucash
12:36:05 <warlord> Is it onto local disk? Is this on a network share server? Dropbox? something else?
12:40:53 *** nimish has quit IRC
12:41:21 *** nimish has joined #gnucash
12:47:29 <grede> Save is local drive. Both application and gnucash file are on C drive. Single format drive
12:47:57 <grede> partition, i mean
12:50:49 <warlord> Hmm.. Not sure why it would crash on a modification. gjanssens? jralls?
12:51:30 <grede> does gnucash save crash dump I could try to access?
12:51:42 <grede> or run developer/debug mode
12:52:19 <warlord> You could run under the debugger (gdb?)
12:57:51 <grede> don't know how to run that. found the trace flie so I'm checking that now.
12:59:03 <warlord> cf wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace
13:03:06 <grede> bunch of warns

13:04:13 <grede> first two were in the file before pressing save. The last 4 I think got appended to file once I pressed save
13:06:58 <warlord> Hmm. jralls ??? Any ideas?
13:07:09 *** calvinct has joined #gnucash
13:13:16 <grede> i ran gnucash with --debug and --extra, but I don't want to spam it here. I dont remember the place where I can paste the file dump and share it with url. Anyone know any such service?
13:13:42 <grede> pastebin
13:13:44 <warlord> pastebin

13:21:13 *** nimish has quit IRC
13:21:43 *** nimish has joined #gnucash
13:22:43 <warlord> Yeah, unfortunately that trace file doesn't talk about a system crash, so you'll have to use a debugger to get an actual stack trace -- or hope someone else can reproduce.
13:23:12 <grede> running all recent tries gnucash as admin. Last try I even killed all my AV / malware software. still same thing. I closed OneDrive. File location is not shared, nor on NW drive. folder is full control for admin, system and application packages (not sure if that helps)
13:23:28 <grede> I'll look into the debugger
13:24:24 <jralls> grede: It smells like one of the unhandled locale exceptions. What are your Language and Region settings?
13:25:04 <grede> windows Region & language: France - English (united states)
13:25:41 <grede> oh, it was running Finnish for the first time, so I changed the environment variable to english.

13:27:09 *** kael has quit IRC
13:27:15 <jralls> grede: Try changing the locale to en_US.UTF8. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings#Changing_the_Language_on_Windows.
13:28:02 <grede> LANG=en_US.UTF8
13:28:02 <grede> LANGUAGE={LANG}
13:29:27 <jralls> Hmm. Try LANG=C
13:29:41 <grede> well that didnt exactly work. now gnucash won't start at all. Let me comment out the variable and check with stock settings
13:29:59 *** fabior_ has quit IRC
13:30:34 <jralls> LANG=C didn't work or LANG=en_US.UTF8 didn't work?
13:30:47 <grede> US
13:31:12 <grede> works perfecly with language commented out
13:31:25 *** fell has quit IRC
13:31:25 <grede> I rather not use Finnish so I check with C
13:32:13 *** fell has joined #gnucash
13:32:39 * jralls wonders how Finnish is getting pulled in...
13:33:22 <jralls> grede You could also try leaving LANG unset and just setting LANGUAGE=en
13:34:08 <jralls> I guess that you don't want the UI in French...
13:34:50 <grede> finnish probably comes from keyboard settings. => advanced keyboard settings: English (United Kingdom) - Finnish
13:34:53 *** kapil___ has joined #gnucash
13:35:34 <grede> OS is installed in English. but yes I reallllllly dont want French :D
13:36:37 <grede> back to testing:
13:36:37 <grede> LANG=en_C
13:36:37 <grede> LANGUAGE={LANG}
13:36:37 <grede> was a failure
13:36:43 <grede> saving crashes
13:36:59 <jralls> No, not en_C, just C.
13:37:11 <grede> noted, sorry
13:37:46 <jralls> You're OK with 10,000.00 instead of 10.000,00?
13:37:49 *** nimish has quit IRC
13:38:10 <grede> LANG=C
13:38:10 <grede> LANGUAGE={LANG} is a success
13:38:36 <grede> english UI, saving works. Thank you :)
13:39:14 <jralls> Good. We're still working on getting the C++ locale to do the right thing, but C is probably the right answer for you anyway.
13:40:36 <grede> Good stuff! Will get to actually check out the program now :)
13:42:55 <grede> hmm, slight oddity. each save I now make makes a copy of the old save with a new timestamp:
13:42:58 <grede> GC.gnucash.20190129194152
13:43:22 <grede> original being just GC.gnucash
13:43:44 <grede> minor stuff but is this possible to change to save exactly on the original file?
13:54:27 <jralls> grede: Switch to the SQLite3 backend. GnuCash's XML backend has always renamed the old file with the timestamp and saved a fresh one for safety. The SQLite3 backend uses a database file and updates it in place instead.
13:54:46 <warlord> grede, those are backup files.
13:54:57 <warlord> the original file *IS* GC.gnucash
13:58:06 <grede> ah ok. will do that. thank you
13:59:07 <grede> thanks warlord & jralls really helpful :)
13:59:20 *** Tryx has quit IRC
14:00:29 <warlord> note that with SQLite backend you need to make backups yourself -- gnucash NEVER makes a backup.
