This is a known bug in the 1.0.6 release. Please download the 1.0.7 release (http://sf.net/projects/gramps). The sole difference between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 is the fixing of this bug.

There's no differences between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 except for this bugfix. > Could you pls tell me what's wrong? FN This is what's wrong :-) > GRAMPS: 1.0.6-1 Seriously, the gconf key /apps/gramps/use-ids is set as integer by the Startup dialog, and then is attempted to be obtained as boolean later in the program. Same for another key, /apps/gramps/show-calendar, but you haven't got that far because of the first problem. You may also fix your 1.0.6 install by $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/gramps/show-calendar -t bool 0 $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/gramps/use-lds -t bool 0 as the user running gramps (not root!!!) But then it will need to be done for every user if you have more than one, so it may be easier to just upgrade to 1.0.7.

I'm sorry if I'm addressing a 'help' query to a 'bugs' list, but am unsure where its right place is. Could someone kindly help me to find out how to add a sibling in Gramps? For instance, my daughter has a younger brother. How should I add him? Thanks much for the earlier help too!

How should I add him? Make yourself or your spouse an active person (i.e. navigate to yourself or your spouse). Then switch to the Family View and add a new child by clicking the buton that is second from the top on the right of the Children list (the "New" button). Enter the data for the new person (your daughter's brother) and click OK. The child will be added to the database and to your family as a natural child for both parents. You may edit relationship of the child to each parent by selecting the child, right-clicking, and choosing "Edit the child-parent relationship" item. E.g. if this is not your child but your wife's child, you would select "Birth" in relationship to her and "Stepchild" in relationship to you. Forgive me if this is not the right setup, but I don't know the details :-) If the child is already in the database, then you don't need to add him to the database. In that case, you just need to add him to the family, which can be done by pressing the third button from the top (the "Select" button). You then need to select the person from the list. The list is filtered to= =20 only display people who could possibly be the child (based on he birthdates= ). In case GRAMPS is wrong, you can always override that filtering by checking "Show all" checkbutton. Anyway, select a child and specify the relationships to both parents the same way. Hope this helps, Alex P.S. The manual should be pretty clear on this and also much more detailed about keybindings (in a separate appendix) and other stuff.

Thank you! And my apologies for asking a dumb question! I quickly sorted that out, after reading the well-written manual. Gramps seems to be a really good piece of software. Am glad indeed that the LINUX FOR YOU magazine published from New Delhi included the Gnoppix 0.8 CD, which had Gramps on it, with their latest, September 2004, issue. Thanks again from India. I'd like to help your project in any way I could.

The Family View is not the most intuitive piece of the interface, so you don't need to apologize :-) [snip] > Thanks again from India. I'd like to help your project in any way I could. If you'd like, you can always help out with the documentation. There are two things I can offer you right away: 1. Collect "Tips of the Day". The development version has the option of popping up a window with the tip of the day about the use of GRAMPS. The tip is chosen randomly from the pool of tips. At the moment, the pool consists of exactly two tips :-) This task is specifically well suited for a new user, because you know which things were not all that apparent to you as you started with GRAMPS. Chances are, many users will be in the same boat, so just recording your experiences as a collection of short tips should be easy for you and helpful for the project. 2. Update the manual. This is probably not the task for right now. The interface and some concepts are still continuing to evolve in the development version. However, when the development version stabilizes, there will be a daunting task of documenting that state. Also, comments about any typos and rough spots (as well as plain inaccuraci= es and deficiencies) in the present docs are always welcome. I don't want to load you up with more stuff. The above seems quite enough := -) Please feel free to help out. If you need to ask questions -- use either gramps-devel or gramps-users at lists.sf.net, as appropriate for your questions.
