Do you refer to a GRASS "mapset"? Yes it is a Grass mapset. I have been working on Fedora 14 with these mapset and after installing F15 I found this problem while trying to open one. Ah, that is Grass 6.4 from F15 on. It might be related to that. That file should be /usr/lib64/grass-6.4.0/etc/lock (which is awful enough). Grass doesn't value the FHS a lot. Please check, if your ~/.qgis/QGIS.conf has: ... [GRASS] gisbase=/usr/lib64/grass-6.4.0 ... There is no such file in ~/.qgis/QGIS.conf In fact, the only file available is qgis.db and rest folder is empty. Argh, I mixed it up. The file is ~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS.conf Yes! I found the file what next? This is what it has under head [GRASS] as follows, [GRASS] gisbase= windows\select\geometry=@ByteArray(\x1\xd9\xd0\xcb\0\x1\0\0\0\0\x1\xff\0\0\x1*\0\0\x4\xec\0\0\x1\xdd\0\0\x2\0\0\0\x1\x41\0\0\x4\xeb\0\0\x1\xdb\0\0\0\0\0\0) lastGisdbase=/media/GIS/grassProject what to do next? Change the gisbase line to: gisbase=/usr/lib64/grass-6.4.0 or gisbase=/usr/lib/grass-6.4.0 , if you use a 32 bit system. You obviously didn't define this path at all. Did you activate the grass plug-in inside QGIS? Doing so, normally asks you this question. Yes, it has opened the mapset for now. But, the QGIS.conf file looks a bit unusual, it has other many things which for now seem irrelevant. But, if some data for analysis is needed then I can paste its content. thanks Ambrish Dhaka Well, you can paste the config file somewhere, but I assume it looks as "unusual" as it simply does. It contains some binary data. If in doubt, rather ask on #qgis (freenode) or file a bug on their bug tracker, as this is not a packaging issue or specific for Fedora. We'll introduce a version-less symlink into the GRASS package, to keep the configuration from going wrong if the version of Grass changes. I'd like to close this bug, when we ship that. grass-6.4.1-5.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grass-6.4.1-5.fc15 grass-6.4.1-5.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grass-6.4.1-5.fc16 Package grass-6.4.1-5.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing grass-6.4.1-5.fc16' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-16358/grass-6.4.1-5.fc16 then log in and leave karma (feedback). grass-6.4.1-5.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.
