Hi RSH
It would be an extra bonus if you cold add Graphwiz to your SFS, and maybe even ttf-freefont.

These are all the additions I have used to run all Gramps 3.2.6, 3.3.1, 3.4.0 and now finally 3.4.1.1. in my dpup-484/485s, and all other puppies I have tried that are accepting .deb packages, I am sure they exist as non-debs too. I believe the python-pet I use is adapted for puppies, and is maybe not a full python installation. It all works perfectly.

Oh forgot; BTW - good work!

If i would know, where to find the exactly needed files, i would do this with pleasure.

But I don't know. Found this one: Ubuntu which is a lot of files.

Too much for me to figure out what is needed and what is not needed.

Ancestris

#26 Post by davids45 »

G'day muggins in Merimbula,

You asked earlier:
Has anyone tried java-based Ancestris?
I did (albeit briefly after your post) and found it quite good, once I got it and java set up together. I threw a 70,000+ person genealogy data-base gedcom at it and it looked unfazed. It told me I was still the person I think I am.

I'm pretty much locked into the Windows-based "Legacy" program for my family dabblings (even paid them money!) but do keep some other like-programs (well, free ones) around just in case.

I would just need to get Ancestris into an sfs and pet form to add this to my collection of "add-ons" for each new Pup. I don't know how the continual java updates would affect it however.

So thanks for finding and mentioning it.

David S.

Thank you, RSH. Except for the .pet files, I cannot remember where I got the .deb files. I may have gotten them from debian.org, one was maybe in the old stable debian release 'lenny', but the graphviz? Sorry, I don't remember, but the dpups I use are based on debian, not on ubuntu.

gramp error - cannot add event

#28 Post by TJK »

I have been using Gramps under Kubuntu 11.04 until recently... and I don't recall ever having any problems. But recently I've tried to use Gramps on my laptop, under Puppy Linux 5.25 -- and I've been getting many problems and errors... which has been very frustrating.

I have tried various versions, including the pet posted on this topic -- all instalations ended in getting error messages. I've followed suggestions in backing up and reimporting, running repairs, etc -- all did not help the situation. Currently I'm using the SFS file. And only a few days after installing it, I'm getting an error message when trying to add an event. This is what the terminal readout is saying:
# gramps
632: WARNING: Spell.py: line 60: Spelling checker is not installed
1730: WARNING: geography.gpr.py: line 42: WARNING: osmgpsmap module not loaded. Geography functionality will not be available.

if not date.get_text_length():

I would really appreciate any help regarding these problems...

That's very strange.

That's all python error messages, but the python is inside the sfs.

I'm not comfortable with python, so I can't help here.

Sorry.

RSH

Did you remove some stuff or install any other python or python included software?

EDIT:

A few days ago I did read about some missing python stuff in the devx of lucid 528. Seems like the puppy python stuff isn't pretty well configured. Maybe this is generally a puppy/python problem?

@ramberler1939,

done, please see the first post.

@tallboy,

I've petified debian packages for graphviz & ttf-freefonts, on the first page, but no idea if they're working properly with gramps?

cheers

hi muggins, thank you for the latest additions.

I get some warnings when starting gramps from a terminal window, but if the spell checker, image metadata and map functions are not needed, all other functions seem to work as intended. On my dpup484beta4, gramps is also faster that earlier versions.

Code: Select all

6200: WARNING: Spell.py: line 60: Spelling checker is not installed
12365: WARNING: bottombar.gpr.py: line 90: WARNING: pyexiv2 module not loaded.  Image metadata functionality will not be available.
12573: WARNING: geography.gpr.py: line 42: WARNING: osmgpsmap module not loaded. Geography functionality will not be available.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gramps/gen/plug/_manager.py", line 219, in load_plugin
    _module = self.import_plugin(pdata)
  File "/usr/share/gramps/gen/plug/_manager.py", line 256, in import_plugin
    module = __import__(pdata.mod_name)
  File "/usr/share/gramps/plugins/docgen/LaTeXDoc.py", line 51, in <module>
    import Image
ImportError: No module named Image
When I tried to make graphs from the Reports menu, which gramps specifies that Graphviz is used to make, I get this error:

Code: Select all

 error while loading shared libraries: libgvc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The font choices with the graphs, besides unspecified Default, are limited to PostScript / Helvetica or TrueType / FreeSans. I am not sure if that is any indication of an error with ttf-freefonts.

I also tried running gramps in retroprecise_5.4.2 with exactly the same results. Since both puppies are debian/ubuntu based, the libgvc.so.5 may be a debian error, I don't know if slacko puppies get the same error message.

Gramps seem to work very well without the additional files and libs, but I am in a phase where adding people to gramps is the main task, not generating reports with graphics, so I haven't tested all functionality.

Just downloaded the latest gramps you converted

#33 Post by zippytex »

Just a note to say thank you again for your hard work and it works just like you said it would. I am using it with the latest download of Slakopuppy.

I really appreciate your efforts as gramps frees me from Windows.

Thanks, Mary

OK, I've repackaged the debian gramps as gramps-3.4.3-3.sfs. (9.43Mbytes)

It comes with techno's python, libdb-4.4.so &, (hopefully working?), graphviz.

I tried getting spellcheck & osmgpsmap working but it is beyond my python enfeebled peabrain (I even tried using python easy_install & pip but couldn't even get them to work!)

Sorry it took so long to respond, the email notification got lost in my junk mail folder. I have corrected that. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into making this available. I do love this program. Mary

Re: Gramps: genealogical research program

#38 Post by zippytex »

Gramps has issued its last 3.xxx series update. From now on it will be 4.xxx and involves something called, python-gobject (>=3.3.2). As I understand it, they will keep the 3.xxx available for those with, I guess, older systems.

So, since this is the last update, would you consider doing it into a pet friendly form? It is 3.4.5 and after you install it, it comes out 3.4.5.1.

I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts of support. I could mail you some great! chocolate chip cookies???

If you have the time, thanks and if not thanks!

Mary

new gramps version

#39 Post by don570 »


new gramps version gramps-3.4.5
http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/92cf82e9


I dragged the newer version on top of older version and it seems to
work in Slacko 5.5 and Precise, but not in Raring (because of
problems with python). I could only make a pet version.

I used the info on this thread to install 3.4.5. It also worked on slacko 5.5

Thanks, Mary
