[Kmymoney] KMyMoney 4.6 on Ubuntu

[Niranjan Rao]

Hi there,

Relatively new user of ubntu so don't understand all the nuts and bolts 
of the mechanism. I wanted to try out kmymoney on ubuntu 11.04. I 
installed kmymoney follwoing instructions at

https://launchpad.net/~claydoh/+archive/kmymoney2-kde4  <https://launchpad.net/%7Eclaydoh/+archive/kmymoney2-kde4>

I have some questions about this installation.

1. I read some documents about using trusted distribution etc. Is this 
one of those trusted distribution?

2. When ubntu adds 4.6 to their repository, what happens to my existing 
distribution? Do I still get updates from ubuntu distribution whenever 
they update or I need uninstall and then install from ubuntu software 
center.

3. I tried installing kmymoney on two machines - both running same 11.04 
and same level of updates. On one machine, everything is ok, on the 
other machine "dash" crashes or does not respond if kmymoney is running. 
I have to restart unity even to get Alt-Tab working. Fortunately, I know 
about moving terminal using Ctrl-Alt -F2 etc. Kmymoney itself works 
fine. Have not tried if things correct itself after quitting kmymoney.

4. I tried downloading transactions from my credit card provider using 
ofx, it worked fine, but minor issue in ui. There is mouseover on 
exclamation mark that says this is uncategorised transaction. This is 
barely readable - most of the times I just see black rectangle and had 
to tilt my monitor and really squint to figure out what the message is.

5. I could not make wells fargo work with web connector. Even tried 
corrected url from ofxhome web site. Is anyone else using wellsfargo to 
automatically download the transactions. Error message I get is signon 
failed. If it does not work, I can always download transactions from 
bank and import it. Is there anyway to automate this?

Apart from this, my experience of one day has been great so far. I am 
still learning how to use it effectively.

Thanks for the help.
