Hi
I am a newbie to Linux and am looking for a personal finance package like GnuCash and some simple installation instructions aimed at someone who’s idea of installation is placing a disk in a CD drive. Thanks in advance.
I am not able to edit the sources.list file. It looks like it is owned by root and I do not appear to have the root password. I have only recently installed Ubuntu. I do not recall being asked for a root password but I have obviously setup my own password. Thanks in advance,
## Please Ignore my last two posts – I have moved on. I am now getting the following error – Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
sudo apt-get install gnucash

Package gnucash is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package gnucash has no installation candidate
Hi!
I’m new in ubuntu 6, I try to install the gnucash 6. I am not able to edit the sources.list file. I don’t know what that mean and to get to edit the sources.Can anyone please explain how to do that! Thank you in advance.
first you need to use the following command to edit the file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
or you can install vim editor and you can use this to edit the file
sudo apt-get install vim
then you need to edit the file
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
I installed gnuCash. Used ‘sudo apt-get install gnucash’. Worked a treat, however, the software is NOT simple and easy to use. Way over the top for home finances.
Please give detail instruction from Edit, what part are we editing?
Have a look at the below link for Edit instructions :

I’m using Xubuntu Hardy Alpha1, and the only real snag is the fact that gnucash won’t install. It wants a library version 4.x and Hardy has only 5.x. Here’s hoping for a fix soon.
i guess its a good thing i also have a windows machine with quicken… just not that literate.. thanks
GnuCash is the worst Linux application that I’ve ever tried in my 15 year history of using Linux. Absolutely frustrating piece of dawg crap! Who ever wrote this software needs to shot in the face, burned alive, and taken out and hung!!!! DIE SCUMBAG! YOU SUCK!
