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.

• 1. 2 In a terminal window, temporarily change your locale to make sure that it works:

export LANG=en_GB

gnucash

• 1. 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.

• 1. 4 Create the following script to /usr/local/bin/gnucash or ~/bin/gnucash to make the changes happen on the fly:

1. !/bin/bash
2. Wrapper to get correct LANG (not with UTF-8) for the application /usr/bin/gnucash
3. 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

Note on getting online share quotes

• 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.
