Launching Gramps

#42 Post by fplum »

First let me introduce myself. I am Forrest Plumstead. I have used Ubuntu off and on for years. (More off then on.) I have just started using Puppy because it is lighter, and doesn't slow my older computer down.

I have also used Gramps before but not very much. So please treat me as ignorant with both Puppy and Gramps. Speak slowly use one syllable words. Use the Idiots guide and 101 approach. Thank you.

Now my problem. I used Puppy Package Manager to download and install
Gramps. I said yes to all the dependencies, and libraries. I found Gramps under Utilities, but when I click on it nothing happens.

Ideas, thoughts, suggestions, HELP!?!

Hi

Until yet, to use Gramps I did restart my PC and use Ubuntu (actually 13.10) because I didn't know some SFS with Gramps for Puppy.

I did now discover in the last day that there is some one at the depository from RHS for its modulary system available for different Puplets (I am using the LazzYTHD_100 today because it starts on my PC without some Dialog directly in Xorg and works perfectly. it is enough for me!) and I did start gramps:

it works!

but

and it is not a Puppy question

how to make my data on Ubuntu usuable in Puppy in Gramps?

(if it is not possible, It make no sense to try to use gramps in Puppy as my genealogy is about ready in Ubuntu: I can and will not begin again! I will only add some lateral parents if I discover new data on the web).

kind regards

hm

it seems so, that it is perhaps necessary to start gramps in console mode to pass the name of the file. so the manpage of gramps if I do understand correctly.

but how to start a Python application out a LP2_xxx.sfs from console as it is not in the usual file system?

In puppy, Gramps makes a hidden directory /root/.gramps that contain all settings, preferences and data, upon first run.
If the Gramps in puppy containes no saved files, remove the hidden /root/.gramps directory in your puppy, and replace it with a copy of the .gramps in your /home/, or whatever they use, in Ubuntu. Always make a backup of that directory! If it is the first time you open a .gramps from an earlier version, Gramps will ask if it should convert it to the newer version (which cannot be opened by an older Gramps).

Is there a means of copying or transferring a familytree from Rootsmagic [installed in WinXP, and the Windows program run using Puppy->WINE] to a Gramps installed [or run using an SFS] in a Puppy?

Pelo

i would say 'yes, you can'.

#53 Post by Pelo »

I Dont't know, but i would say 'yes, you can'. Create a new tree, then import files.
What i am sure, you can import trees fulfilled with different Puppies or Linux OS. About Windows please feed back success or not.

Try a gedcom?

#54 Post by davids45 »

G'day,

I think Roots Magic can export a text GEDCOM file of your basic genealogical data. Gedcoms can miss some program-particular details but I've found the essentials generally get copied.

So why not try the export from RM (say, to a USB thumb drive) and then import the gedcom file into Gramps from the same thumb drive?

I did this when trying Gramps - I use Legacy as my main genealogy program.

Version Windows installed

Version Windows installed, fully intercheangeable with versions Linux.
Remember howerver ; a newer version will refuse gkpg from older Gramps.

Gramps 3.2.0-1.AppImage

#58 Post by mikeslr »

Hi All,

Searching for Gramps applications, I found Gramps 3.2.0-1.AppImage here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portable/files/. This appears to be a 32-bit version, circa 2010. But it seems to be functional OOTB on Xenialpup64 with 32-bit libs loaded.

LP2_Gramps-3.4.1.sfs: 13 M

LP2_Gramps-3.4.1.sfs: 13 M
provided by Lazy Puppy RSH does enough to spend time searching your origins.. Gramps is only the recording tool, the data base to fulfill. I have the chance to be born in the area where they destroyed all archives about christians.. Its very hard to go before 1789. And docs written with feathers are quite unserviceable for us.
No need to spend your time if nobody ask for new versions. Often new versions need libs that are not available . If RHS version does not work, just install the old Python. The older, not the newer.
I use an SFS done by ASRI Education including french translation. He dit it for students and even teachers when Puppy Precise 5.7.3 was installed in a dozen of schools in France.
