Live GIS Disc/Errata/8.0
Problems which have come to light after the 8.0 image went to press
Many of these problems will be fixed in our code repository now, and eligible to go into a possible 8.0.1 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 they boot. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

GRASS GIS IPython Examples
Using the Processing (SEXTANTE) Toolbox in QGIS breaks GRASS's startup history, file which causes the IPython examples to fail. Users will have to start GRASS and reset the GIS Database path to /home/user/grassdata, then start in a GRASS session and exit from it again. The new startup history file is saved upon exiting from the GRASS terminal session.
OpenJUMP
- Problem
Fails to start on systems with more than 4GB of RAM.
- Solution
Edit the /usr/bin/openjump startup script and comment out the JAVA_MAXMEM= on line 185.
uDig
- Problem
The program crashes the first time you run it.
- Solution
Just try again, after that it works ok.
Other
(minor issues)
- Mapfish database exists in QGIS's list of Postgres databases, but is not available.
- The 52nSOS database in QGIS's list of Postgres databases is actually "52nsos", all lower case. You can fix that with the [Edit] button.
