Re: [Gramps-bugs] GRAMPS error report

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

The database format GRAMPS uses is not a real file, so you cannot move or
rename it, see
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Recover_corrupted_grdb

So go back to the original position and export the data instead. Always keep
.gramps files of your work, GRAMPS 2.2.x stores them automatically where the
.grdb file is as .backup.gramps.

As you use ubuntu, you can upgrade to version 3.0.1 with many new features
with the package on our website. This error is less likely there
