Have been trying to use the Master appimage with current versions of Linux Mint for past year and right up thru latest appimage [kmymoney-master-3789-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage], program launches, displays home page of recent file but crashes as soon as I try to open any register. The crash happens with any file on any computer that I try it on.
I can click on a scheduled transaction and it opens that transaction; but if I click on any account in the home page, program crashes with an exception error.
This has been going on for over a year and remains unfixed making the Master appimage unusable with current version of Linux Mint.
Thanks for mentioning. This seems to either a problem on your local install or with Linux Mint. I just downloaded the mentioned AppImage file and was able to perform all those operations without any problem. It behaves the same even if I uninstall my local installation of KMyMoney.
Can you start the AppImage on a console and provide the console output (either here formatted as code or as attachment to a mail to kmymoney-devel@kde.org). I wonder if it contains any hints to what could cause this behavior.
Can you provide more details on the exception error. Terminal output is also helpful in this case.
I don’t have any scheduled transactions, but I can certainly open up any account from the home page. Most things work for me with the master; the only problem I have is the well-known “online quotes”. For example, downloading a quote for BGC yields:
(Debug) symbol=BGC id=E000062…
Received an invalid price for BGC, unable to update."
I believe I can fix this by going back to what works in the stable release, but I have not had the time.
Mark, is it possible the problem is Mint, and if so, can you switch? A
Stable AppImage works fine.
Master AppImage always crashes when opening registers.
I have tried on 4 different computers using 2 completely different files. All computers running latest version of Linux Mint and get same results.
This may be related to issue:
Master does not correctly display fonts as per settings. Stable does.
Also don’t know if this means anything, but all the computers used a separate partition for /home.
Here is terminal output:

For some time now, the same issue occurs with my Windows 11 install. Release version 5.1.3-eef04f1 works okay. Anything beyond that, and the program crashes when I try to open a register.
Let me know where to look for the logs and I’ll post the results here for review.
I had downloaded the Master AppImage to my /Downloads folder in my /home partition, changed it’s permissions to allow Execute, and ran from there. As described, it loaded file, ignored Font settings and crashed when opening any register.
I just moved it to the /Opt folder in my /Computer partition and tried running it from there. It didn’t see any of my settings stored in my /home partition, including recent file list. I selected the menu option to open the KMyMoney file in my /home partition. it opened it and allowed me normal access to the registers for my accounts but my old settings were still ignored. So there seems to be a problem with how the Master AppImage deals with Environmental variables.
Second time that I launched the AppImage, it seems to have found my settings but still ignored font settings.
Reports display text for report css at top and several have wrong data.
Some favorite reports do not appear in menu.
Some previously working reports fail to display any data.
In my case the problem seems to be the “~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kmymoney/kmymoneyui.rc”.
Because as soon as I make a change in the toolbar (i.e. removing “New book”) KMyMoney crashes with every click (sidebar or account).
This also happens with my toolbar, which I have been using for years with version 5.1.3.
As soon as I delete the changed toolbar, a new one is created and it works as it should.
ipwizard:
Tried your suggestion with creating a new kmymoneyrc file and renaming old one. Recreated desired settings in new file. Ran program and left data file in /home partition.
I still get crashing and it doesn’t recognize new font size setting.
Some reports are correct and some do not display any data.
Since then, the “New” button was for a “New file”. For me, it was not only unnecessary, but also “dangerous” - one click and you have closed your current file for the creation of a new file.
And yes, I see that this “New…” now has a multi-function.
Is there another button that you should definitely leave in?
@ipwizard , I followed instruction in your previous post. The results were similar to before. Selecting any button on the side bar causes the program to crash.
As a means of investigating further, I created a Windows 11 Proxmox VM, installed KMyMoney (kmymoney-master-3791-windows-cl-msvc2019-x86_64.exe). Using the same data file (Not a copy) I was able to navigate KMyMoney without witnessing any crashes. I did however notice an issue with my data file that didn’t appear in the latest stable version. A number of the transactions within the file are marked as not equaling zero. I’ll need to look for then clean up those transactions before trying again on my production machine.
@markhm@rcblackwell Can you try to repeat the above instructions with the following file(s):
on Linux: rename ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kmymoney/kmymoneyui.rc to ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kmymoney/kmymoneyui.rc.ori
on Windows rename C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\kxmlgui5\kmymoney\kmymoneyui.rc to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\kxmlgui5\kmymoney\kmymoneyui.rc.ori.
Renaming is essential, because the kmymoneyui.rc file needs to disappear, but we might need it later for investigation. It might be, that the file does not exist in your environment, which is also valid. In that case, please let us know.
@rcblackwell Can you please send the original version of it to me? It does not contain any personal data and I like to see what causes the crash. You can use this mail address. Many thanks in advance.
