Please check in the plugins settings that at least one storage backend is enabled (checked). The XML backend is recommended.

 Thank you for your response.  When setting up a new accounting book (first time I have used Kubuntu or kmymoney), I fill out the page with my name, address, etc. When going through each step, on of the options is the XML, which is recommended, and so I use it.  After selecting the default setup (first option), I tried to save, and get the error message.  Subsequent attempts to exit the program (top right corner "X", close program function) results in the same message, trapping me between trying to close the error message and the program, looping between the two.  This is my first experience with any form of Linux, so I may have something else wrong, but I don't know how to troubleshoot this problem.

First, if you reply to a bug by email, please remove everything except your reply.  Your entire message becomes the next entry in the bug, and all the extra (which is right above in the previous entry anyway) clutters it up and can make it harder to follow. Also it would be helpful if you switch your mail client to send text only replies in this case. Thank you.

Can you try to start KMyMoney with option -n from a terminal window and check the configuration options that a storage backend is enabled? Don't be worried about any messages appearing during the start in the terminal window: those are expected and don't harm.

Thank your for your responses.  I'm new to this, have been out of town for a week.  I think the issue has been resolved by doing some system changes and updates.
