[GRASS-dev] GIS Manager and Map Display 1 faults on Ubuntu 6.06

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer
1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / Grass 6.2.1RC1 / GIS Manager:

Add postscript text layer:

when changing "align text" to other than default, error "can't read "opt(1,east_north)": no such element in array" comes up when saving the workspace

changing "coordinate type" to "geographic" fails on redraw. grass has to be restarted to come out of the error condition.

when switching between "constrain map to region geometry" and "map fills display window", the text positions keep stuck to "map fills dispay window"

Map Display 1:

"zoom out" fails when region ist left with "ERROR: <n=181.45> ** invalid input **. grass has to be restarted to come out of the error condition.

"zoom to selected map" kills all graphical windows.

Grass 6.3 CVS from today, after a distclean:

"zoom out" fails when region ist left with "ERROR: <n=181.45> ** invalid input **. grass has to be restarted to come out of the error condition.
...

Did't give any further trys; looks like the limit recognition is a little bit "confused".

I am not shure if this is related only to my box setup, because g.region does funny things, too.

Building both 6.2.1RC1 and 6.3CVS with

./configure --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4/ --with-tcltk-libs=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/postgresql/ --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ --with-odbc --with-motif --with-python --with-cxx --with-blas --enable-largefile

passed without any error message.

Stephan,

I tried all the actions you mention below and didn't have a problem with any
of them. I'm using a current version of 6.3 from the cvs of a few days ago
on a Mac with x11.

G.region is heavily used in most of the interactive functions you describe.
If it is not behaving correctly, this could cause many other things to fail
in the GIS Manager interactive displays.

Hello Michael,

I did not care about the kernel - he is running with a realtime-patch.

Maybe this is causing the failures - but I do not understand how this can affect grass? Are there known problems when grass (gui-) functions are heavily interrupted?

Sometimes, I run a VMWARE server with both W98 and W2k on this box too. But they are run pretty smooth; so for me the base system is stable.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kindest regards

I guess I don't know the answer to this. Maybe someone else does.

Does g.region work OK? If not, it will affect a number of features in the
display controls of the GIS Manager.
