In each the PERMANENT mapset and landsat mapset are not writeable by 'user'. WHile this is OK in GRASS itself (PERMANENT mapset is not necessarily writeable by everyone), It is causing a crash of QGIS with the error: Cannot get projection[[BR]] Cannot run module[[BR]] Command:...qgis.g.info[[BR]] info= ... permission denied[[BR]] The three offending directories are each symlinks to /usr/local/share/grass/.... These directories have permissions i.e.: drwxr-xr-x 4 root users 4096 2012-02-23 00:49 spearfish60 A workaround might be to do in install_grass.sh: {{{ chown -R $USER_NAME.$USER_NAME ""/usr/local/share/grass/nc_spm_08"" chown -R $USER_NAME.$USER_NAME ""/usr/local/share/grass/spearfish60"" }}} I suppose the problem is in the QGIS GRASS plugin. The above is not ideal but it avoids the error and crash when loading layers from the PERMANENT mapset.
