There should be one at ~/.qgis too. > I created a link but this did not work either. Can I tel QGIS to look for > the qgis database at the above location rather that ~/.qgis//?

This is what I get (qgis master, ubuntu 12.04): $ ls -l /usr/share/qgis/resources/qgis.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23552 may 7 2011 /usr/share/qgis/resources/qgis.db The owner is root and only root has write permissions. Which is to be expected for a file in that directory. Goyo _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
