[GRASS-user] broken d.mon

Friends,

    I have broken my copy of GRASS 6.4.3. Impressed with the GRASS70 display, I foolishly tried

d.mon wx0

in GRASS64. It not only did not display, now no monitors exist, i.e.

GRASS 6.4.3 > d.mon -l
      no known monitors

It has affected all my locations, not just the one where I issued the command, so I don't think the change is in my PERMANENT.

    I looked through previous discussions of d.mon and X0, but they don't seem relevant to this problem.

Thanks, Dave

Hi,

2014-02-21 17:10 GMT+01:00 Dave Roberts <dvrbts@ecology.msu.montana.edu>:

d.mon wx0

in GRASS64. It not only did not display, now no monitors exist, i.e.

this is not possible in G6. Here d.mon works with X-based monitors,
ie. d.mon x0.

Hi Martin,

    Thanks. I do understand that. But now I have no X monitors (nor png or anything else for that matter).

What happens if you write

d.mon x0

?

Note that X monitors does not work on MS Windows.

when I enter d.mon x0 it says there is no such monitor.

Isn't there some problem with compilation? I'm not sure if this is even
possible but maybe compilation can be set in the way that no monitors are
included.

The command

d.mon -l

generates

no known monitors

Hm, now I understand what you are saying, -l behavior differs for 6 and 7.

So, no x0-9, no png, no nothing.

Hi Vaclav,

    Happy to stay on list. I'm grateful for all the help I've received here.

    So, the problem is not with compilation. GRASS64 was working well on my system (except for v.dissolve and lib gmath, see other list issues). Oddly, when I mistakenly entered d.mon wx0 it not only didn't work (which should be expected), it disabled all the other monitor options (seemingly permanently). When I changed to another location the problem persisted which really surprised me.

    Fortunately I have other machines to work on, but this is my primary machine for a large research project that emphasized GRASS. I'm in the process of moving to GRASS7, but I couldn't get it to compile on this machine (Markus N is helping me with that), so I stayed with GRASS64.

Thanks, Dave

Ultimately had to recompile GRASS-6.4.3 to get d.mon to work again. The make generated numerous errors, but much to my surprise make install worked and solved my problem (at least for now).
