Greetings: Just a little background on this problem ... I have a fresh install of Fedora 11 Preview, and it is fully updated to today, 20090501! This is the first time that I have had problems with Fedora 11 from its' alpha release. If all that I do, is open the software and do nothing, then I can re-open it all from command line. It seems as once the software creates its own files and directories, it is then that I can't re-open the software from the terminal. This is such a wild experience. I do not understand what is going on? I also have the bug report that I get once the crash happens if someone can read it and tell me what is going on??? I am a contributor with the Gramps genealogy program, so I need to be able to see what the errors are and I need to be able to run it from terminal ... Prior to three days ago, I was able to use the current codebase from gramps trunk/ unstable code ... This is what I had tried and done today: I checked out the current svn of gramps trunk codebase... ran autogen.sh make then tried python ~/gramps32/src/gramps.py, which is the current recommended way to start using the trunk code... From a fresh checkout, I can open the software, set preferences, import my database, set my gramplets, etc... Close the software, try to open it again, Gramps dump report... so next, I l changed to root, and typed make install which, of course, is something that you are suggested not to do! I take the risk and assume my own stupidity if there is any... Go to Applications, Office, GRAMPS Genealogy, and I can open the software. It all works... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that I get no debugging information on the terminal screen, which is how I can check and validate my code changes! I do not understand it at all... Please help if you can? Sincerely, Rob G. Healey
