07:04:09 <andreas^> it's so much to learn in the tutorial.
07:04:31 <andreas^> I'm having trouble.
07:11:21 <Mechtilde> andreas^, in which country do you live?
07:12:22 <Mechtilde> I should know that the english tutorial is mainly for North-America
07:12:31 <Mechtilde> + written
07:14:29 <andreas^> Mechtilde: I live in Sweden but I use the tutorial and learn from it.
07:15:43 <Mechtilde> I think you can't translate all Terms from English to Swedisch
07:16:01 <andreas^> should I switch tutorial?
07:16:09 <Mechtilde> no
07:16:37 <Mechtilde> i tried to solve it as well as I could by translating to Germnan
07:16:41 <Mechtilde> German
07:17:01 <andreas^> I don't know german very well.
07:17:21 <Mechtilde> I suggest to read both documents
07:17:43 <andreas^> where is it?
07:17:56 <Mechtilde> or look at the other screenshots too
07:18:11 <Mechtilde> the German one is nearby
07:18:45 <Mechtilde> ttps://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=de_DE&doc=guide
07:19:59 <andreas^> I don't know how to mark where I am in Icecat.
07:20:21 <andreas^> when I bookmarked the last time, the bookmark sent me to the beginning of the tutorial.

07:23:29 <andreas^> #target
07:23:37 <andreas^> they=the chapters
07:23:51 <fell> after opening above link, open the next chapter in a neww window. then each page will have its own URI.

09:18:57 <fell> chris: intention of 'goto abort_knapsack; '?
09:20:00 <fell> I have never used 'goto ' in he last 40 years. ;-)

09:25:06 <chris> see later in file -- goto label which frees memory appropriately
09:28:11 <andreas^> you use goto even if it's evil?
09:29:01 <andreas^> I hope it's used in a sane way.

09:52:22 <rangerrr> Hello, Using Gnucash 4.2 with Postgresql DB of several years. When I add a new entry it fails to save to database. Postgresql log says it fails to insert into table slots because the primary key already exists. Currently it attempts to insert id 1641.. then 1642.. then 1643... sequentially. This table has 10,000 entries. What can I do to overcome this problem?

16:28:57 <rangerrr> fell: Arch Linux, GnuCash 4.2, Postgresql 12.4. Database originally created on Gnucash 2.x with Postgresql 9.6 I believe. A multitude of errors: Gnucash attempting to create tables that already exist, or insert rows where the id already exists. Result is that most attempts at data entry fail. As a workaround, I exported the accounts and entries using Gnucash and imported them into a fresh database. This has "fixed" the unique id's in the
16:28:57 <rangerrr> slots table. My guess is, the old database is convoluted beyond repair.

16:49:26 <warlord> I feel like somewhere in the 2.x series the SQL backend got re-organized.. I don't recall when. 2.x was a decade-long run (or longer).

17:02:11 <joe7> Hey all, for GnuCash Android App there are some pull requests which are not being looked at. Has anyone a clue how to reach out to the repo owner? We tried to send mails and opened pull-requests without success for some months
