[GRASS-dev] SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Hi all,

I switched from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04 and have just compiled GRASS 7.3dev from source (r69054). It all seems to work fine, but at start up I get the message:

Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined

GRASS was build with Python 2.7.12 and wxPython 3.0.2.0. In an earlier email about the same debug message, it was suggested to set

export SESSION_MANAGER=1

Doing so before starting GRASS gives the same as reported by Andy:

_IceTransOpen: Unable to Parse address 1
04:57:44 PM: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: Could not open network socket

Up to now I don’t see any further effects, so I am wondering if I could / should do any further testing?

Rgds,

Paulo

The related wxwidgets ticket is

but received a wontfix.

But does it start then or not?

Ah, I hadn't seen the ticket, only the below referenced email tread.

Yes, did some further testing, and all seems to work fine
