There's a standard file format for transferring databases between
different family tree software, sorry can't remember what it's called.
Can you not just export from whatever you've been using then import it
into gramps instead of messing around like this?

I've not touched my own research in ages but a couple of days ago I did
a fresh install of Mint 22.1 on a quite old mini tower computer,
installed gramps and it works perfectly, no messing about. I assume it
will also be problem free with Ubuntu.
