[GRASS-user] ERROR mapset <mapname> not found

Hi all,

I have a problem with setting the mapset access for one mapset. All other mapsets can be accessed without problems and from different mapsets. I get:

--%<--
ERROR mapset <mapname> not found
--%<--

I already checked the folders, but I cannot find any abnormalities.

What could it be?

Thanks in advance for ideas,
Achim

Could this be a permission / ownership problem?

Some more details:

I'm using grass65svn, fresh compiled on a kubuntu 64bit.

The mapset I cannot access is one of 7. From the one I can connect to the others, but not the other way around.

Could it be that the mapset is locked? If yes, where can I find out and how can I change that?

The folder has the same permissions as the others.

A mapset is locked by creating a ".gislock" file in the mapset
directory (note the leading "."). But the error which you report
doesn't sound like a locked mapset.

It would help if you specified the exact command which you run and the
exact error message (copied and pasted, not re-typed) which it
generates.

Are you sure that the directory is actually a mapset, i.e. does it
contain the WIND and VAR files? Do these files have the correct
ownership and permissions?

right, thats not the problem.

here I use the gui: Config -> GRASS working enviroment -> mapset access

Yes, I'm sure.

>>>>>>>>EDIT>>>>>>>>

Now I used the command line:

--%<--
g.mapsets addmapset=mapname
--%<--

and it worked!

But now: the gui doesnt work anymore:

--%<--
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py",
line 257, in OnMapsets

dlg = preferences.MapsetAccess(parent=self, id=wx.ID_ANY)
   File "/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/pr
eferences.py", line 2137, in __init__

self.mapsetlb.CheckItem(self.all_mapsets.index(mset), True)
ValueError
:
list.index(x): x not in list
--%<--

BTW:
g.mapsets -s
shows the tcltc dialog!?

Thats ok for me, because it works, but WHY does this happen?

Thanks everyone very much for the hints,
Achim
