command line - Gnucash won't start - Ask Ubuntu


after new installation of ubuntu 16.04 freshly installed through apt-get gnucash not working in normal mode. starts in terminal & , requires sudo "sudo gnucash". after several attempts of reinstall gnucash nothing has changed. how fix start without terminal , without sudo root permissions?

in terminal, type:

 $ dpkg -l *gnucash* (that's lower case l, , *'s required)  desired=unknown/install/remove/purge/hold | status=not/inst/conf-files/unpacked/half-conf/half-inst/trig-await/trig-pend |/ err?=(none)/reinst-required (status,err: uppercase=bad) ||/ name           version      architecture description +++-==============-============-============-================================= ii  gnucash        1:2.6.14-1~g amd64        personal , small-business finan ii  gnucash-common 1:2.6.14-1~g          common files financial-ac ii  gnucash-docs   2.6.13-2              documentation gnucash, pers ii  python-gnucash 1:2.6.14-1~g amd64        gnucash interface python 

if don't see python-gnucash ii in front of name in list, install using synaptic.

start synaptic dash, click reload icon, click search icon, enter "python-gnucash", in results pane, mark installation, click apply icon.
