If you think you have a an issue/bug in your ''Family Tree''/database, try the same operation with the example family tree. If the problem happens there as well, then it is probably not due to a corruption in your data. ==Load example.gramps==Follow these steps to load the example family tree. 1. Find example.gramps.gz on your system. For example, /usr/share/doc/gramps/example/gramps/ 2. Open example.gramps.gz, and extract example.gramps to a temporary location. 3. Start Gramps 4. Create a new family tree. Give it some name, such as example 5. Open this new family tree. It will be empty. 6. In Edit > Preferences, set the media path. This could be in a new directory, to keep it separate to your own family tree media. (eg ~/gramps/example/) 7. Copy the media files from the example directory (that you found in step 1, above) to this media path directory.
