Last time I used it few months back it was working fine.
Found this reddit remove the Graph View addon by removing the folder GraphView under ~/.local/share/gramps/graps52/ but could not find any *.ini file under ~/.local/share/gramps
Any how, re-installed the Graph View addon, but same result.
Also re-installed grapms, with same result, empty blank Graph View.
I’ll appreciate any advice on how to get it working again.

Back Up Your Genealogy Files.
If you have a reason to be checking Prerequisites, it is the right time to back up your genealogy files, and then test your backups!
Backup to Gramps XML You will find "Make Backup..." in the Family Tree menu of recent Gramps versions, otherwise use "Export..." in the same menu but uncheck privacy options in the Exporter Assistant in order to export all data.
• Backups can be made at any time and, at a minimum, on the first day of every month. But preferrably more often.
• It is strongly recommended to backup each of your Family Trees before any upgrade.
• Test your backups by creating a new Family Tree and then importing the backup.
Thus the issue is related to graphviz version 12.1.2.
This is the bug report in graphviz repo the solution is in graphviz version 12.2.1 but it is still not available in my linux distro repo. Then had to apply the temporary solution, downgrade to version 12.1.1.
Now it works fine again.
