Using Location wizard in wx gui od grass I've got this error

On command line this works for me (Mandriva):

g.proj -c proj4="+proj=krovak +a=6377397.155 +rf=299.1528128 +dx=653 +dy=-212 +dz=449 +no_defs +towgs84=570.8,85.7,462.8,4.998,1.587,5.261,3.56" location=test
Location test created!

Can you please try this as well? We have to understand if it is a g.proj
problem or a GUI problem.

[Ondro Lexa (lexa-ondrej)]

Hi,
it does not work even in command line:
I started grass without GUI (with -text option)
....

GRASS 6.4.0RC5 (cr-sjtsk):~ > g.proj -c proj4="+proj=krovak +a=6377397.155
+rf=299.1528128 +dx=653 +dy=-212 +dz=449 +no_defs
+towgs84=570.8,85.7,462.8,4.998,1.587,5.261,3.56" location=test
ERROR: region for current mapset is not set
       run "g.region"
GRASS 6.4.0RC5 (cr-sjtsk):~ >

So it seems that it is g.proj trouble...
If you need more testing, let me know...

Since "ERROR: region for current mapset is not set" you seem to have a broken mapset/Location.

Please run "g.region" as suggestion, e.g.

g.region -p

What's the output?

[Ondro Lexa (lexa-ondrej)]

Output is:
GRASS 6.4.0RC5 (test):~ > g.region -p
ERROR: default region is invalid
       <north field missing>
GRASS 6.4.0RC5 (test):~ >

of course I could set it manually to fix it. But there should be default
region once location is created. Moreover within location there are no
PROJ_INFO, PROJ_UNITS and WIND files created. Only DEFAULT_WIND (with
strange content... only two lines proj: 99 and zone: 0)

[hamish (hamish-b)]

this is grass trac bug #654 and debian bug #533738.

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/654
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533738

it is already fixed by the grass-6.4.0~rc5-2 package in Debian for some months.
 (see debian changelog, newLocation.dpatch)

If the karmic package is still at rc5-1, it needs to be updated.
ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis has had newer versions available for a long time.

regards,
Hamish

[hamish (hamish-b)]

This is a Serious bug and karmic should not ship without the DebianGIS patch found in Debian's rc5-2. The current rc5-1 Ubuntu package contains a bug which means that users can not create new projects. This is rather crippling usage-wise.

patch fixing this is here:

http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-grass/packages/grass/trunk/debian/patches/newlocation.dpatch

thanks,
Hamish

Here's the debdiff patch for karmic.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

If you want this debdiff to be sponsored, put the bug status to confirmed. As you attached a debdiff, I assume that it mean you want it to be sponsored.
What test did you performed?

In the meantime, I'll check the debdiff

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

hmm, if it's fixed in Debian, with the same version, I'd rather sync from Debian.

I'll try to reproduce the bug, build the Debian package, and if it works fine, I'll request the sync.

Fabrice

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

The Debian package works fine, and this problem is fixed, so I'll request the sync.

Thanks for your work!

Fabrice

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Please sync grass 6.4.0~rc5-2 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Changelog entries since current karmic version 6.4.0~rc5-1:

grass (6.4.0~rc5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added a grass menu item (Hamish).
  * Added a grass.menu.in template with related icon.
  * Added a simple x-grass wrapper to allow running grass without a pre-running
    controlling terminal. At least it works within ordinary WMs launchers.
    (closes: #503371)
  * Added newlocation.dpatch patch to manage correctly new locations.
    (closes: #533738)

[Alan Boudreault (aboudreault)]

I didn't know that we could sync a package with debian since Karmic is Alpha. Thought bug fix could only been applied with the current package of the release. Good to know.
