| 32 | == GRASS GIS IPython Examples == |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * Problem |
| 35 | Using the Processing (SEXTANTE) Toolbox in QGIS breaks GRASS's startup history file, which causes the IPython examples to fail. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * Solution |
| 38 | Users will have to start GRASS and reset the main GIS Database path to <tt>/home/user/grassdata</tt>, 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. |
