Unable to enter amounts in journal entries

I just update my laptop and loaded Ubuntu 14.04LTS. After going to about and settings DB location to what I had on my previous laptop (just backup the folder)

Journal entries keep going to 0.00 after I put in amounts.

How can I resolve this?

Can you post screenshot of an actual journal entry?

Just tested it now and you have to use , and not . for the cent values

Yeah, that’s right. South Africa has adopted “,” (comma) as its decimal separator long time ago so that’s why Manager assumes comma and not full stop.
