I apologise because I sort of put QGIS aside while concentrating on the QGIS 3 
port, which should be released any day now. I’m afraid I took the opportunity 
of jumping to QGIS 3 to remove all legacy software that I had to leave 
installed because of QGIS 2, such as Qt4 and Python 2.7, because I have a very 
small SSD on my MacBook Air, and having both Qt4 and Qt5 alongside consumed a 
lot of space.

I think I still have another machine with QGIS/Python 2/QT 4 installed, but 
unfortunately I’m just about to begin a week long holiday and won’t have that 
machine at hand before I return next week. So if that can wait that long…

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Vincent

It looks like the QGIS port needs an update. 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qgis/QGIS/final-2_18_16/ChangeLog 
indicates that 2.18.14 (the current port version) was released 
2017-10-27 but grass74 support didn't get done until 2017-11-18.


I have found that opening tickets for updates to existing ports is 
useful for getting updates done.

Based on a similar issue on the GRASS users mailing list [1] but on Linux not 
OS X I think this is a QGIS issue that is fixed in the latest QGIS (nightly).

  -k.

Problem opening x-window over an ssh connection

[Gustavo Seabra]

Hi all,

I understand this may not be a real Macports problem, but I suspect someone 
here may know the solution. I have googled a bit about this, but the solutions 
I found do not really apply to that problem. Here it is:

I have 3 machines:

A: My Mac
B: A Unix machine that serves as firewall to other computers
C: The computer I want to access.

SO, If I do:

A]$ ssh -Y B
B]$ echo $DISPLAY
  localhost:10.0
B]$ xmgrace

I get a nice window from xmgrace, as expected.

However, If I try to open xmgrace from C using B as a jump, I get:

A]$ ssh -Y B
B]$ echo $DISPLAY
  localhost:10.0
B]$ ssh -Y C
C]$ echo $DISPLAY
  localhost:10.0
C]$ xmgrace
  Can't open display
  Failed initializing GUI, exiting
C]$

I suspect there’s something ill-configured in C, but don’t know what could it 
be or where to look. Could someone there please help me here?

Thanks,

QGIS and GRASS 7.4.0

[Ken Mankoff]

I just upgrade GRASS from 7.2.2_0 to 7.4.0 and now it no longer works with
QGIS. I tried removing both and re-installing cleanly, and it still does
not work. I'm fairly new to MacPorts so I'm not sure if this is a
legitimate bug or user error, but wonder if anyone has the two working
together, and/or advice on what to do after the clean install.

Thanks,

   -k.
