GnuCash always crashes on start up

[Oliver König-2]

Hello,
I installed gnucash 2.0.2 rpm with Yast on OpenSuse 10.2. The application
GnuCash always crashes on start up!

# gnucash
gnucash: [D] "starting up (1)."
gnucash: [D] "handling command line arguments"("gnucash")
gnucash: [D] "files to open: "()
gnucash: [D] (results #<eof>)

The Gnucash start window appears, next the Gnucash window appears. then
another window with the following message appears:

"GnuCash could not obtain the lock
for /home/oliver/Windfinder/Fibu/gnucash/gnucash_ok.
That database may be in use by another user, in which case you should not open
the database. What would you like to do? | Open anyway | create new file |
Quit |"

I select "open anyway"

The application crashes, a bug buddy window appears and the shell outputs the
following:

** (bug-buddy:19120): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Accessibility

Hi,

Try starting gnucash with the command guncash --nofile in a terminal window.
See if that helps.  You may have some problem with the data file you have
tried to open.  If anything is printed on the terminal before bug-buddy,
please post it here, to maybe show what is causing your problem (I don't
think that the bug-buddy stuff you have posted will help, but others may know
better!)

2.0.2 is way old, and has loads of bugs fixed by more recent versions.

there is a newer version (2.2.0, afaik) available from
ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-crauch/10.2/

which you add as an "installation source" in YaST.

HTH,
Maf.

That works. So what should I do?

Gnucash 2.0.2 used to work. I have 2 data files and the online banking only
worked with one data file so I decided to install GnuCash 2.2.0 from
ftp://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-crauch/10.2/ But that version has no
online banking at all. So I re-installed 2.0.2 and since then the application
crashes all the time! This looks like Murphy's Law. I should have never
uninstalled 2.0.2 at all!

Well anyway, I installed 2.2.0 again and it starts up fine and it opens the
data file. The only problem: It does not have online banking so it's useless
for me. If I go back to 2.0.2 the whole thing will crash again! So I am
trapped!

You will need at least aqbanking and aqbanking-qt3 2.3.2 from packman.
With these installed, online banking should work with 2.2.0

Chris

Hi,
I tried to install aqbanking-qt3 2.3.2 from packman with Yast put I ended up
with an unresolvable dependency nightmare. No chance of resolving it!
