Introduction
GnuCash is a personal finance tracking program. It can track finances in multiple accounts, keeping running and reconciled balances. It has an X based graphical user interface, double entry, a hierarchy of accounts, expense accounts (categories), and can import Quicken QIF files and OFX files.
How to run GnuCash 1.8.x when your locale is UTF-8
- Check that you have the equivalent ISO8859-1 encoding available for your default locale:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
- If your default locale is, say, en_GB.UTF-8, then make sure that en_GB ISO8859-1 is also selected.
- 2 In a terminal window, temporarily change your locale to make sure that it works:
export LANG=en_GB gnucash
- 3 Check for any error messages about the locale in the terminal window and that in GnuCash (especially in reports) that there are no strange symbols.
- 4 Create the following script to /usr/local/bin/gnucash or ~/bin/gnucash to make the changes happen on the fly:
#!/bin/bash # Wrapper to get correct LANG (not with UTF-8) for the application /usr/bin/gnucash # Automatically extract MyLocale from the string 'LANG=MyLocale.UTF-8' which is output by locale MyLocale=$(locale | grep LANG | cut -f1 -d'.' | cut -f2 -d'=') export LANG=$MyLocale /usr/bin/gnucash
You can select different financial symbols and formats by setting LC_MONETARY
(in .bashrc
) but it is easier to change them inside GnuCash in Edit/Preferences/International
- Make sure that libfinance-quote-perl is installed.
- Confirm that an individual quote works using
dump-finance-quote
- Don't try and get currency quotes - at the time of writing, the latest version in the repository was 1.08-1. This no longer works with currencies. Edgy has GnuCash v2.0.1 and a more current version of libfinance-quote-perl, and so the currency quotes work too.
