GRAMPS and some Gtk versions

  • Some Gtk versions seem not to properly refresh the GUI (need to use the mouse cursor), see bug 4863.
  • Some Gtk versions have a refresh issue on Citation TreeView (3.4.x) after an edition, see bug 5688.
  • Incremental search and synchronization with typed letters, see bug 1450.
  • New row/line on Census gramplet (addon), see bug 5688.

GRAMPS freezes and crashes with ATK / GNOME / GAIL Assistive Technologies enabled

There have been multiple reports of long freezes and crashes of GRAMPS when refreshing the people or place tree view, e.g. after editing a person or changing the Name Display Format. They are related to the use of GNOME Assistive Technologies (ATK/GAIL).

  • Gnome 2.x

If you experience similar problems try going into System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies, unchecking Enable assistive technologies.

  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

If you experience similar problems try going into System Settings -> Keyboard -> Universal Access, Disable all assistive technologies.

Then logging out and in again.

You can also try this into a console:

$ sudo gedit /var/lib/gdm/.gconf.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml

Locate this part:

<dir name="accessibility">
<dir name="keyboard">
   <entry name="enable" ... type="bool" value="true"/>
</dir>

Gramps and AttributeError

This message is often related to your data into your FamilyTree. See AttributeError

GRAMPS cannot import media with non-ASCII characters on filename

If Python returns a codec/UTF8 warning and this file was pasted from an external support (CD, HD, USB key), maybe filename has been corrupted ! It seems correct on screen but not on command line. Your OS was not able to properly set the encoding used on your external support.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Specials#Replacement_character replacement character will be often a "�" (black diamond with a white question mark)]. You can try to fix the filename by setting the correct character. Now you will be able to import this file into Gramps !

GRAMPS cannot set date greater than 21

Gramps-3.0.4 under Jaunty 9.04 cannot uses date editor or media reference editor. Upgrading to 3.1.2 fixes this issues.
