== Seeing all the error messages ==
{{stub}}You can start Gramps from the Command Line, as described in the note [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Getting_started#MS_Windows| here]]. You will then see all the diagnostic information on the terminal.

= When something goes wrong =
Sometimes something goes wrong, either because you have asked to do something that Gramps doesn't know how to do, or because something has happened that the developers of Gramps did not anticipate, or because there is a mistake in the coding of Gramps.
{{man warn| Warning |Sometimes all the errors do not appear on the screen. If something unexpected happens, you may need to [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Seeing_all_the_error_messages|see all the error messages]]}}
== Configuration warnings ==
Sometimes it is worth just deleting the old configuration files.
==Other warnings ==

{{-}}
Sometimes, not all the information needed to understand what has gone wrong will appear on the screen. For example, if you start Gramps with an invalid language setting (and some missing components) then the message that appears in the {{man label|Warning[[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Warnings|Warnings]]}} dialog is:
[[Image:Warning_message_GExiv2.png|800px|thumb|left|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Dialogue showing limited warnings]]
