re: transfer of Gramps in Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx
Hi... My wife uses Gramps so I have a little knowledge that may shed some light on your situation. Ok all your Gramps data is stored in a directory in your home directory called .gramps Now notice the . prior to the name, this means this is a hidden directory. So I'm hoping that when you did your backup, you included this directory! So if you did, then once you have Gramps installed you can then copy that hidden directory into your home directory. You will get a prompt to update the database for each family tree you have. I hope that this helps out... -- Scott Evans VK7HSE Phone: +61362291658 Mobile: +61417586157 Skype: vk7hse sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org PGP/GPG Key ID 2B8CA152 -- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Hi Anthony, With Gramps, I'd usually just export my data and burn to CD ... i.e. you can export your whole database to a file called backups.gramps. Then you can clean install your machine, install gramps from the repositories, and simply re-import your data. So you say you've burned some data to a CD ... what did you burn exactly? Did you burn your /home/.gramps folder? I've done a bit of messing around with Gramps, so if you wanted to email me off-list you're welcome to (to avoid clogging the list up). My email is cal...@cruzn.net.au. Else post back to the list if you prefer. Cheers Callan -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
re: transfer of Gramps in Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx
Ladies/Gents, Before clean install to Lucid Lynx on my PC, I recorded Gramps to CD with a view to putting it on Lucid Lynx.When I put the Cd in, the file comes under 'personal data' with the date the CD was recorded. The CD shows the name of "Gramps-desktop". Now, when I try the transfer to Lucid, the system tells me: "The application launcher "gramps.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe". Now Gramps was ok in Ubuntu 8.04, so I figure that the CD is 'safe'. As I feel I am still a nooby, I really would appreciate some guidance in this. Oh Yea, the Gramps in 8.04 was Gramps 2.2.1 and in Lucid is updated to Gramps 3.2.3-1.
