Error viewing text reports within Gramps

Hi,

I’m using Gramps 6.0.5 (flatpak install) on Void Linux.

Runs pretty smoothly, accept when I want to make and view a text report, it gives me this error

Within Void Linux I have Evince as default PDF/Document viewer, worked fine with Debian and Gramps 5.x so I don’t understand what the problem is here. I can / have to open the file outside of Gramps. Minor issue, I know but having the report open within Gramps is so much easier! :wink:

Anybody any idea?

Thanks for any help!

grtz,
Frank

This is not a solution, but a work-around.
Running Gramps on macOS I often see the same problem, when running a text report with output to a pdf file.
Instead I select output to an odt file, and if I need a pdf file, open the odt file in word processor and from there export to pdf.

Thanks for the reply @csam !
You’re right, it’s a possible work-around But saving to pdf is not the problem. So I can open the pdf file from the dedicated folder. I’m just a bit lazy and got used to gramps opening the file right away… :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Problem solved! :grinning_face:

After os update I found that by now the Void repo also had Gramps 6.0.5.

So, removed the flatpak installation and installed the repo version and pdf view is available within Gramps now.
