How to solve upgrade issue? [Solved]
Posted: Jan 10th, '22, 01:51
I recently upgraded an old computer from Mageia 5 to Mageia 8. Long overdue, I know.
When I started Gramps, my genealogical research program, it had been upgraded from version 4.1.3 to 5.1.3 and the underlying database had changed too,
so I was strongly suggested to backup the database using the old version before doing anything else.
I tried to run a live version of Mageia 5 but Gramps is not included by default and I didn't succeed to install it.
My question is therefore: Can I install the old Gramps version (4.1.3) on Mageia 8? If so, do I need to uninstall the new version first?
Or is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance and Best regards,
Michael Steen
