AW: [winGRASS] Slightly botched WinGRASS startup

[Marco Lechner]

Hi john,

please try the following. Start Cygwin and start an xterm (directly with the
shortcut on the desktop or by typing startx & at the cygwin prompt then
start grass from within the xterm-prompt with grass -tcltk to force grass to
use the gui. choose your spearfish dataset and user1 mapset and start the
displaymanager from within the gui. exit grass clean (exit gui, exit grass
on prompt, exit cygwin clean, ...) and try to start CygwinGrass again with
the grass.bat - it should work now (I hope)

Betreff: [winGRASS] Slightly botched WinGRASS startup


I have WinGRASS 6.0.0 installed and operating correctly using IE for help.

I was experimenting with exiting the GUI and restarting it from Bash using
d.m &
from the command line.

Somehow, I botched something so that now when I click on the Grass60. bat
to start WinGRASS,
instead of proceeding immediately to the graphical WinGRASS entry screen
(showing spearfish57 on the left
and with user1 selected on the right)
- it provides me with a Bash text screen with "spearfish57" and "user1"
already appearing on the appropriate lines
- Without entering anything, I can click on Esc-then-Enter and I will be in
WinGRASS without the GUI
- In the Bash, I can execute
   d.m &
and the WinGRASS 6.0.0 GIS Manager comes up

Other than doing a full re-install (at which I have become somewhat
proficient!),
  what do I change to have it so that when I click on Grass60.bat, it will
proceed
immediately to the WinGRASS entry screen as it originally did?
(with spearfish57 shown on the left and user1 selected on the right)?

What do I avoid doing so that this won't happen again?
