[GRASS-user] g.list not working on GUI after edit .grassrc6

GRASS GRASS user

Dear all,

I needed to edit .grassrc6 and set another
mapset, because the “default” on .grassrc6
was on an external hard disk, and I don’t have
it anymore.

After edit .grassrc6 and set another Mapset
I can startup grass without problem, but now
when I try select one raster to be displayed,
the list come empty. It happens with -gui option.
But with -text I can run “g.list rast”.

The same occurs for another mapset that I copied
from one machine to another.

:: grass 6.4 / msys / vista.

Any idea?

Perhaps a silly question: did you also set the location? Maybe the
mapset you have set up is not in the Location defined in .grassrc6?

Hi Nikos.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, location is included on .grassrc6.

$ cat .grassrc6
GISDBASE: C:/Mymapset
LOCATION_NAME: newLocation
MAPSET: PERMANENT
GRASS_GUI: tcltk

Any other idea?!

cheers

Milton,

from your previous post in the other thread it seems that you do not
define the location/mapset [1]. Did you try to start like:
"$ /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin/grass64 -gui
C:/Mymapset/newLocation/PERMANENT"

or

"$ /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin/grass64 -text
C:/Mymapset/newLocation/PERMANENT"

Anyhow, is there a directory newLocation under C:/Mymapset ?
And within the newLocation there must be the PERMANENT mapset (just
another directory).

Apologies that I insist, but I think (maybe I am wrong but double
checking never hurts) there might be some misunderstanding about
location/mapset. The first level directory is the so-called GRASS-DB.
Then you have within that location(s) and within the location(s) you
have mapset(s).

The way it appears in you other post [1] there is no location at all or
you name(d) the GRASS-DB as Mymapset? Maybe another naming-convention
could be better to avoid confusion with the GRASS-DB (which is just the
central directory containing all grass-stuff).

Sorry if I can't be of any help.
Nikos

C:/Mymapset/newLocation/PERMANENT"

Also, I think you can just blow away the .grass6rc file and start fresh. This way, on starting, GRASS should ask where the GISDBASE is, and offer to create locations and mapsets…

Hi Nikos & Micha,

Nikos, I tryed: (it is little different from my post because there I give a example)

$ /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin/grass64 -gui C:/Data/Tibagi/vegPR_probio_proatlan_maio2009/tibagi_Probio_grass_sdb/ne
wLocation/PERMANENT
Cleaning up temporary files …
Starting GRASS …
c:/Users/famiglia/C:/Data/Tibagi/vegPR_probio_proatlan_maio2009/tibagi_Probio_grass_sdb/newLocation/PERMANENT: Not a valid GRASS location

see that besides I grass try start my local from c:/Data/…
grass add c:/Users/famiglia first. Famiglia is the name of my computer.

May be we have a issue to solve here.

Anyway… Following the suggestion by Micha (remove .grassrc6)
everything is ok now!!!

Thanks a lot Nikos & Micha!
