Comment:
The trunk (7.5/7.7) starts for me with no `~/.grass7` directory (a state
which generates `<UNKNOWN>/<UNKNOWN>` internally) on Linux. I did some
improvements in error handling there and there might have been more
changes I don't recall. Currently, a nice error message is reported when
starting in text mode (no GUI at all) and not providing mapset in the
command line.
{{{
ERROR: Unable to start GRASS GIS. You have the choice to:
- Launch the graphical user interface with the '-gui' switch
grass75 -gui
- Launch with path to the location/mapset as an argument
grass75 /path/to/location/mapset`
- Create a location with '-c' and launch in its PERMANENT mapset
grass75 -c EPSG:number /path/to/location
grass75 -c geofile /path/to/location
- Create manually the GISRC file (/home/vpetras/.grass7/rc)
- Use '--help' for further options
grass75 --help
