Gramps gnome problem
I use Gramps to manage my family tree. It is written in python and it has stopped working. I resently upgraded to gnome 2.2 but it has been a while since I tried Gramps I don't know if that was the cause.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
Any error messages when you run it from CLI?

Re: Gramps gnome problem
No module named _bsddb is the error I get.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
I'm not a python expert, so I'm kind of guessing here, but there is a "python-bsddb" package in community - try installing it and see if that helps.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
Just installed it and it works for me with gnome 2.18 packages so it might be gnome 2.2 issue.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
Have you tried rebuilding. A dependency may have been updated with Gnome 2.20 in testing.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
I've made a few changes and now I get past the previous error and now I get
File "/opt/gnome/share/gramps/GrampsWidgets.py", line 77, in <module>
hand_cursor = gtk.gdk.Cursor(gtk.gdk.HAND2)
RuntimeError: could not create GdkCursor object

Re: Gramps gnome problem
same problem here, only with an even less informative error message -- just a segmentation fault.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
I've started getting a segmentation fault as well, it was working the other day I'm using xfce4, did a pacman -Syu and am assuming it is related to one of the 270MB of package updates that caused it.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
I just updated to 2.2.9 from 2.2.8. It works again. All is well.

Re: Gramps gnome problem
Thanks for the tip. Works here too.
I must say, though, that over the time I've used Gramps, it has given me more trouble than the entire rest of the system taken together... I sigh in relief every time it actually starts. Shouldn't have to be like that.
