 > This bug suddenly occurred a few weeks ago. I still had an old gnucash
 version. I thought upgrading gnucash to the current version could help.
 Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem. When I run gnucash from a
 terminal, I get errors:

 Here's you problem: the session bus runs for the user root, not for your
 own. In short: don't use `sudo` to load it. Details:
