I have installed and reinstalled this version on Linux Mint 10. I continue to have two major issues. First, no matter what I do, I continue to get a new user screen everytime I start the software, even though I already have a mny file from a previous version. Second I cannot get the software to not autonumber each transaction. I uncheck the box in the settings, apply the change and nothing changes.

I didn't have this problem with the earlier version, and regret upgrading, but it is too late now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Based on the symptoms described by you it seems that kmymoney is failing to save it's settings. Make sure you have permissions to write to your configuration file usually located at:

Code: Select all

~/.kde4/share/config/kmymoneyrc

Also try to see if some errors are printed regarding the settings when running from a terminal.

When you refer to the 'older' version, this seems to be 1.0.x or less. Please consider, that those versions are KDE3 based and that most distros use (if not all) store KDE settings in different directories for KDE3 and KDE4. Hence the KDE3 settings don't get picked up by KDE4 code.

I checked the ~/.kde4/share/config/kmymoneyrc file and have r/w permissions on that, but I did notice that the share directory above that is owned by root and I don't have permission on that directory. I also ran the program in terminal and saw a bunch of error messages, which are meaningless to me as I don't really understand the language very well. I am posting the output below. Hopefully it means something to someone else who can clue me in.

Wel then that is your problem. To fix it run as root

Code: Select all

chown -R ted:ted /home/ted/.kde4

Of course only if /home/ted is your homedir.

And it looks like /home/ted itself is not writable:

3:2010/12/17 05-29-47:gwen(3778):fslock.c: 141: open(/home/ted/.aqbanking/settings/aqbanking/config.conf.lck): Permission denied
3:2010/12/17 05-29-47:gwen(3778):cfgdir.c: 477: Could not lock group [aqbanking/config]: 1

Does the .aqbanking directory exist?

Ah: well I am getting more confused by the minute. I tried to run the command that was suggested by Cristian and, well you can see:

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $ chown -R ted:ted /home/ted/.kde4
chown: cannot access `/home/ted/.kde4': No such file or directory

Well as far as I know ted is my home directory, and I write/copy stuff to it all the time.

Maybe I need some more explicit instructions, cause I am pretty unfamiliar at working from the command line.

Please post the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

ls -l /home/ted

and

Code: Select all

ls -l /home/ted/.kde*

Here you go!

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $ ls -l /home/ted/.kde*
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ted ted 21 2010-12-14 22:30 cache-ted-SG41 -> /var/tmp/kdecache-ted
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-12-14 19:58 share
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ted ted 16 2010-12-14 22:30 socket-ted-SG41 -> /tmp/ksocket-ted
drwx------ 2 ted ted 4096 2010-12-17 05:09 tmp-ted-SG41

Please try this:

Code: Select all

echo $KDEHOME

and if it prints out something like /home/ted/.kde... then run

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R ted:ted $KDEHOME

The following command should fix this:

Code: Select all

sudo chown $(id -un):$(id -gn) -R $(kde4-config --localprefix)

It will automatically retrieve the correct user, group and directory to change the owner of.

It didn't print out anything

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $ echo $KDEHOME

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $

I also tried:

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $ sudo chown $(id -un):$(id -gn) -R $(kde4-config --localprefix)
ted@ted-SG41 ~ $

That didn't seem to have any effect either.

I am starting to beleive that I didn't install the OS correctly so I could add programs, etc...

Please post the output of the following:

Code: Select all

ls -la /home

Here it is:

ted@ted-SG41 ~ $ ls -la /home
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-12-14 19:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2010-12-14 19:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 69 ted ted 4096 2010-12-18 05:41 ted
ted@ted-SG41 ~ $

Please try running kmymoney in Konsole again, and post the output. Also, does it function under a new user?
