[GRASS-user] GRASS jumps to shell immediately after start

Michal_Zimmermann1 · March 8, 2015, 6:05pm

Hi, when I try to run grass (both 6.4 and 7.0) with -text interface, it immediately switches back to shell. I haven’t found anything related to this issue, can anyone help me? Thanks

Hi Michal,

unless I don't understand the problem, that is what "-text" does. Check with grass --help for other flags. Or, is it something else in question here?

Cheers, Nikos

I guess you mean that the GRASS environment is not being setup? Can you run i.e. g.version ?

Try to delete the file “.gislock” in the MAPSET directory that you are trying to work with, then start grass64.

Weird
Well, starting GRASS in text mode is really nothing more than setting some environment variables. I’d suggest you try to setup the environment manually, then try to run some modules.
Here’s the explanation how to do this:

Hi Michal
(keeping this on the list…)

You can definitely run GRASS from the shell, in text mode only. It’s been like that for a few years now - since about 1983 How did you install? Maybe try running the Init.sh (/usr/lib/grass64/etc/Init.sh) to follow error messages. Also what shell are you running? I seem to recall seeing in the original post zsh? Wonder if that could be the problem?

Hi,

when run with the command you sent, it gives the following output:

Cleaning up temporary files …
Starting GRASS …
/usr/lib/grass64/etc/Init.sh: 409: /usr/lib/grass64/etc/Init.sh: /etc/clean_temp: not found
/usr/lib/grass64/etc/Init.sh: 580: /usr/lib/grass64/etc/Init.sh: /etc/set_data: not found

I installed 6.4 from the official ubuntu repo and 7.0 comes from ubuntugis repo. init.sh is completely missing for v7.0.

So something with the PATH is definitely not getting setup right. What are the contents of /usr/bin/grass64? Yes, grass70 starts with a different script altogether (python)
