I am trying to run grass4.0 on a SUN sparc IPX, and cannot
get the graphics monitor work properly. It keeps giving me
the following message:
GRASS 4.0 > d.mon start=x0
Graphics driver [x0] is already running
Error - Could not complete locking process for monitor <x0>.
Lock file is /applications/grass4.0/locks/dolphin/:0.0/x0
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
ERROR - eof from graphics monitor.
I wonder if any of you had this problem before. It would be greatly
appreciated if anyone can give me a hint how to fix it.
the easiest way is to log in as root, change directory to
/applications/grass4.0/locks/dolphin, make sure no-one is using
grass monitors on that machine, and remove all the files an
sub-directories from there down.
To be a bit safer you could just remove /applications/grass4.0/locks/dolphin/:0.0/x0
or just use another monitor .....
