Greeting, I'm testing LSMB for possible deployment. I have it installed on Debian-10. Problem: I'm in A/R (or A/P) when trying to "Add Transaction" I get a pop-up with "An Error Occurred!". There are no error codes or other info. Ideas? Thanks, Michael

1.5 release line End-Of-Life notice
by Erik Huelsmann 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

I'm sending notice that the 1.5 release line will reach End-Of-Life by Monday 23 December - next week. As per our community policy, there will be no further fixes applied to the 1.5 series of releases. After its initial release on December 23, 2016 and 30 patch releases - the latest released just 16 days ago on November 29 - the 1.5 release line will have received 3 years of support. Note that even though the community won't provide further releases, the software is considered highly stable and will keep working as it has. This End-Of-Life announcement has no impact on migration paths to newer versions of LedgerSMB: upgrades from 1.5 to more recent versions will remain supported for years to come. (While I'm writing this, I find that we don't currently have a policy in place governing this type of backward compatibility.) Should you want to keep running 1.5 and be in need of support or maintenance, you could try contacting one of the parties listed on the page for commercial support: https://ledgersmb.org/content/commercial-support. They may be able to provide support beyond the community commitment. Available options for versions with community support are the 1.6 release line which will receive community releases until June 10, 2021 or the 1.7 release line which will see community support until October 04, 2022. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

Selecting a next bug to work on

Hi, As promised on my GitHub Sponsors account ( https://github.com/sponsors/ehuelsmann) I've drawn up a selection of bugs that I'm ready to take on. The community will be offered an opportunity to help select the bug that adds most value when being solved. Today, I'm sending out my first mail with a list of bugs I think I can take on and solve in the upcoming weeks: * Rate entry allowed for default currency Currently, when entering a rate in 1.7, the user needs to choose the currency for which this rate is being entered. Unfortunately, the default currency is included in that list. https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/4236 * Barcode scanning on invoices/orders broken by parts drop-down Before 1.5, hitting enter in the part number field would update the invoice screen and advance the entry to the next line (for a next scan). Currently, all this is broken. https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/1584 * New <invoice|order|...> buttons on Credit Account screen should populate customer Currently, these buttons don't populate the customer, instead returning the user an empty screen. https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/932 Please provide your feedback as to which of these bugs adds the most value to you by Tue 17 Dec. Please note that sponsors get an actual vote; all others provide advisory feedback. If your most-wanted bug isn't in this list, please mail me directly about that and I'll check to see if I can add it to the list on its next iteration. Before you mail me, please make sure your bug is registered as a bug on GitHub (https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues). -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

The community will be offered an opportunity to help select the bug that adds most value when being solved. Today, I'm sending out my first mail with a list of bugs I think I can take on and solve in the upcoming weeks: * Remove restriction on file types that can be uploaded Currently, only files with a MIME type already known to LedgerSMB can be uploaded With this issue fixed, files of all MIME types will be accepted https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/1949 * Make contact type names translatable Currently, the names of contact types (Vendor, ...) are presented straight from the database without ways to translate them. https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/2315 * 'setup.pl' shows system databases in the list of company databases Currently, when logging into 'setup.pl' without a named database, a list of databases is shown. This list includes databases not available for logging in, such as postgres, template0 and template1. Resolving this bug will remove these common databases from this list. * The "Internal notes" field on the invoice isn't scrollable https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/3203 * Contact Notes has empty Author and Entered At fields https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/2822 Please provide your feedback as to which of these bugs adds the most value to you by Tue 2 Dec.

Trying upgrade from 1.5.12 to 1.5.28
by bill Ott 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Given my difficulties with upgrading to 1.6.14, as a test, I decided to give 1.5.28 a try. I.5.28 loaded and the website came up with out an issue. However I have a problem of my own making. I cannot upgrade my DB because I have lost the password for lsmb_dbadmin. Can anyone tell me how to recover or replace the password without affecting the DB? Any help appreciated. -- Regards, Bill Ott Home: 919-363-0031 Cell: 919-434-7589 Email: Mailto:billott@theotts.org Website: http://www.theotts.org Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/wbott
