[GRASS-user] Deleted mapset; grass error on start

GRASS GRASS user

   I deleted a mapset in one location and now when I invoke grass7x it
shows an error because the mapset is not found. Does something need to be
cleaned up by hand?

TIA,

Rich

Hei Rich,

If I am not mistaken, the last used mapset is stored in $HOME/.grass7/rc which is picked up by GRASS if you start it in text mode.

However, you can of course explicitly specify the mapset to use at startup using:
grass72 /mygrassdb/mylocation/mymapset -text

See also: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/grass7.html

Cheers
Stefan

Stefan,

   I thought it was stored somewhere but did not look for the rc file.

   True. But I want to create a new location so this doesn't help. :slight_smile:

No, but
grass72 /mygrassdb/my_new_location/my_new_mapset -text -c EPSG:myepsg
should help. More details in the manual...

Cheers

Stefan,

   I found a web site that lists all the equivalent codes. Posted the URL to
the maillist.

Thanks,
