Hi Micha,

I see the same thing on the 6.0beta5 build of the live dvd. starting
QGIS from the command line leaves some clues in the console:

"""
user at osgeolive:~$ qgis
Warning: loading of qgis translation failed [/usr/share/qgis/i18n//qgis_en_GB]
Warning: loading of qt translation failed [/usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_en_GB]
Warning: X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9

"""


so we have QSQLITE != QPSQL ...but why?

~/.qgis/qgis.db is on the disc already (maybe it has cruft from an earlier
version?), and is browsable by sqlitebrowser (sqlite seems ok on the disc).


thanks,
Hamish
