KMyMoney Digest, Vol 149, Issue 6

Fri May 26 08:52:03 BST 2023

G'day Thomas,

My problem returned when I was still using the kmymoney-5.1-484-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage
and I was unable to find a cause. I still had both Yahoo and Yahoo Finance as Online Quotes sources
having not got around to deleeting "Yahoo".

I was never happy with the AppImage, fonts hard to read and having to open the AppImage file
directly rather than from an Icon in the Cinnamon Menu.

I have now gone back to KMyMoney Version 5.0.8 Which is the one available on mintinstall 8.0.9 Software Manager.

Of my 13 Stocks (shares) only BHP.AX and CSR.AK have Yahoo Finance set as their Online Source.

I did a series of tests of Update Stock and Currency Prices with both Yahoo and Yahoo Finance as Online Quotes without success.
*Then I deleted Yahoo*  as a source and without re-starting KMyMoney did an Update Stock and Currency Prices with
the result in*YahooFinanceONLY.png*  I THINK that Yahoo was still an option when I looked at the final stage using
the Security Detail Wizard, Use Finance :: Quote.

Now, after a restart Yahoo has gone and all 10 stocks that were using it have no entry in Use Finance :: Quote.
Not surprisingly, when I do an Update Stock and Currency Prices I get a result as shown in*2ndYhooFinanceONLY.png*
By the way, I had changed ANZ.AX to "Yahoo Finance" as source. Of interest here is the repetition of*Source Yahoo does not exist*
Having deleted it I would think this indicates a "ghost" left behind?

I note the comment about the "NEW" button being greyed out. I have the same situation. See*NEWGreyedOut.png*

Finally, I have just a "Reinstall" using Synaptic Package Manager and while OK had this Error message at the end
> W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file 
> '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - 
> pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) 
Any more thoughts on our problem?

Cheers.

Mike.
