The default exchange rates provider ECB does not support UGX, so you have to open the file config.php then change variable $dflt_xr_provider value from 0 to 1 (EXCHANGE-RATES.ORG) or 2 (GOOGLE)

You can also avoid the issue by adding exchange rate manually in banking & general ledger/ exchange rates

UGX is available in ExchangeRates.org (1) whilst Indian Rupee is available in it as well as in ECB (0).

Great, thanks, I had the same problem with UAH and UZS when working, and the fix idea worked, I switched from Exchange-Rates to Google and it's fine now.
