Comment:

 Hi,

 all the "_simple" in shapefile names have been removed in the English
 versions of the quickstarts some days ago. I'm not sure of the status of
 the translations. Try:
 {{{
   grep simple *.rst
 }}}


 NVIZ fails with an out-of-memory error presumably because the
 computational region was never set, which presumably happened because the
 elevation map wasn't selected & region set from it.
 (aka "it used to work, some tweaking of recent tweaks seem needed")


 I would argue that it is important to get the NVIZ + QGIS instructions
 working, as it brings interactive 3D visualization* to QGIS.

 [*] ('n'-dimensional if you want to be technical about it :)
