Update: The other user (sweevo) has reported his second attempt using $mv ~/.gramps ~/.gramps.backup worked and he was able to close and copy his old .gramps file back into the new one and all was well with his GRAMPS install.
The process is in this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288475 I had exported my file but did not import it. I just left the original in my home folder. I did run from terminal and copied the errors to the above forum. Hope that is of some use. I may try copying my old.gramps folder over to my new one and see if the data I seem to have lost returns. I have fairly recent backups so no worry over major data loss. -- Gramps crashes after some minutes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
