Live GIS Disc/Errata/4.0.0
Problems which have come to light after the 4.0.0 image went to press
These will be fixed in the 4.0.1 release. Fixes given below can be applied by hand, USB-drive and Virtual-machine users will only have to do it once, DVD users will have to re-do it every time you boot. Sorry for the inconvenience.
GMT and MB-System
- Problem
A last minute change to a login script meant that GMT was removed from the path, causing problems for things that rely on GMT programs.
- Solution
- Open the /home/user/.bashrc file in a text editor (like nedit), and edit last two lines of the file to be:
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/ossim:/usr/local/ossim/bin" export PATH
AtlasStyler and Geopublisher
- Problem
The user account does not own the AtlasStyler and Geopublisher configuration files, so can not save changes to them.
- Solution
- Open a Terminal and run the following commands:
chown -R user.user /home/user/.AtlasStyler chown -R user.user /home/user/.Geopublisher
Mac and Windows installers
- Problem
Due to a change in the way that Ubuntu connects to the CD/DVD drive, links to the installer directories are broken. The directories themselves are fine, and will load without problem when the disc is inserted into a Mac or PC. (you can find them in the root (/) dir)
- Solution
- Open a Terminal and run the following commands:
rm /usr/local/share/MacInstallers rm /usr/local/share/WindowsInstallers ln -s /cdrom/WindowsInstallers /usr/local/share ln -s /cdrom/MacInstallers /usr/local/share
