Using an external hard drive as data source (Hanlie Pretorius) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 07:54:38 +0200 From: Hanlie Pretorius <hanlie.pretor...@gmail.com> Subject: [GRASS-windows] Using an external hard drive as data source To: grass-windows <grass-windows@lists.osgeo.org> Message-ID: <aanlktilylrquw-ajqq-qkh414gctsskb23mxakbzt...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, I'm using GRASS on two machines in different locations (one Win XP, the other Ubuntu 10.04), so I would like to keep my grassdata folder on an external drive. However, when I try to run grass in Ubuntu using the external hard drive (NTFS file system), I get the following error as soon as I've selected the new data location and the GUI starts to load: ----- Execution failed: 'g.region -u -g -p -c' Details: Error: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied ----- To run GRASS, I use the command 'sudo grass -wx'. GRASS works fine when I run it from the internal hard drive. Is there a way to get GRASS to work from the external drive? Thanks Hanlie ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ grass-windows mailing list grass-windows@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-windows End of grass-windows Digest, Vol 45, Issue 6 ********************************************
