03:44:01 <jackd`23`> cheers, I've just installed gnucash on Windows 10 but when trying to start it, it immediately exits
03:44:27 <jackd`23`> searched around a bit and --debug --extra does not provide any output on the command-line, and there's no logfile in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\
03:44:44 <jackd`23`> and it exits with %errorlevel% 0
03:45:41 <jackd`23`> neither does it start for me when installed with the german localisation, nor with the english one, in either the windows 'c:\program files (x86)' system directory, nor outside of it on another drive
03:56:16 <hades> when you say it immediately exits, does it show a window of some kind and exits, or it just doesn't do anything and the process disappears?
03:56:28 <hades> did you check system logs?

12:02:28 <ArtGravity> Has anyone seen the reports screen crash gnucash on Debian 12? Gnucash version is 4.13-1 from bookworm repos

12:45:42 <jralls> ArtGravity, first I've heard about it. Does it really crash or does it just not work, as in the report doesn't get displayed?

15:00:36 <ArtGravity> It really crashes. It appears to be related to X.
15:00:49 <ArtGravity> I'll get a better message here in a moment.
15:03:42 <ArtGravity> https://rentry.co/qguxv
15:05:03 <ArtGravity> I am running gnucash with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 to prevent some other problem (though I forget what)
15:47:03 *** gjanssens has quit IRC
17:07:36 <jralls> ArtGravity, WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 is to force WebKit to use Cairo to render pages instead of OpenGL. If you can get a stack trace--follow the advice in that error message about setting GDK_SYNCHRONIZE--I should be able to tell if it's something GnuCash is doing or something in WebKit.
17:47:51 <ArtGravity> I have added GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 to the script I use to launch gnucash, but I don't know how to "break on the gdk_x_error() function"

17:50:13 <warlord> .
17:53:49 <ArtGravity> I tried 'gdb /usr/bin/gnucash' but it just returned "(No debugging symbols found in /usr/bin/gnucash)"
18:07:22 <ArtGravity> I am not finding any amd64 bookworm Debian gnucash package with debug symbols.
18:31:48 <jralls> ArtGravity, https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace To set a breakpoint on a function just say e.g. `b gdk_x_error` at the first gdb prompt.

19:04:00 <ArtGravity> @jralls https://rentry.co/whdqzv
19:04:00 <gncbot> ArtGravity: Error: "jralls" is not a valid command.
19:04:25 <ArtGravity> jralls: https://rentry.co/whdqzv
19:05:04 <ArtGravity> Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
19:06:54 <jralls> ArtGravity, now tell gdb "bt full" and paste that.
19:10:11 <ArtGravity> It produced many screens of output that I don't have a good way to capture
19:10:40 <ArtGravity> Trying to copy paste is picking up whitespace at the end of the lines
19:11:12 <jralls> That's OK. Just get the first screenfull and I'll tell you if I need more.
19:11:42 <jralls> By first I mean right after the command...
19:12:24 <ArtGravity> OK. I will clean up trailing whitespace in vim before paste

19:19:36 *** chris has quit IRC
19:27:34 <jralls> ArtGravity, too bad it didn't fetch WebKit symbols, but it looks like something to do with at-spi-bus. File a bug with Debian.

19:31:57 <ArtGravity> I can try. I wish I had a workaround in the interim. I really need to update invoices, and I usually so that from reports.
19:36:23 <jralls> You could try the flatpak as a work-around. It has its own build of webkit.
19:37:44 <ArtGravity> My setup is complicated
19:37:52 <ArtGravity> MySQL backend and remote X over SSH
19:38:19 <ArtGravity> I worry that flatpak may be a jump ahead that I cannot revert from
19:40:54 <jralls> Flatpak is a container, meaning that everything in it is in its own little box, and you can always delete the box. You can remove one complication by installing it on your local box instead of tunnelling an X session over SSH.
19:41:17 <jralls> Anyway, I've got to go now.
19:41:26 <ArtGravity> . Thanks for your help
