Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to open a monitor window in grass4.1 and run into this error
d.mon start=x1
Graphics driver [x1] started
Error - Could not complete locking process for monitor <x1>.
Lock file is /proj/ice/MODELS/Grass.alpha/axp/locks/polarbear/mon.883439
Problem selecting x1. Will try once more
Error - Could not complete locking process for monitor <x1>.
Lock file is /proj/ice/MODELS/Grass.alpha/axp/locks/polarbear/mon.883439If I try and open another window say x2 I don't have a porblem. I', interested
to know what the locking process is looking for and needs to allow x1 to
open. This error occured a couple of days ago x1 was previously running error
free. I think it occured because I quit grass and then killed the window by
closing from the window manager.
Jeremy,
Go to your /proj/ice/MODELS/Grass.alpha/axp/locks directory and delete
everything related to you underneath it. Grass writes a machine name and
then monitor ID of some sort under it (depending on whether you were running
locally or remotely) when you start a monitor.
I don't know why you had a locking problem though for just x1. Perhaps
someone else already was using that monitor and had it locked.
