[GRASS-user] Permission denied (again!)

[Nikos Alexandris]

I run Ubuntu gutsy.

I just play around with data on my own machine... copied from one folder
to another.

I dit that.

But,

what if I want to start from the scratch? I am trying to create a new
empty directory and grant rwx access. And then create with the GUI a new
LOCATION. It only works when I use the text mode.

No problems to create folders as "nik"

I think there something wrong with... ? Why grass (grass62) is
problematic but grass63 (the compiled from source bin) does its job
without hanging anywhere(?)
