Dear list
I have been working with QGIS 2.14 and now 2.18 for a while on Linux
Mint 17. Suddenly, I cannot open shape files any more. When trying to
load them I get the message: "Layer is not valid: The layer XX.shp is
not a valid layer and can not be added to the map." In the log message
panel under ogr it says: "Data source is invalid (Unable to open XX.shx
or XX.SHX.Try --config SHAPE_RESTORE_SHX true to restore or create it)"
Additionally, I cannot open GRASS files any more (which also used to
work fine) and get the error:" Error reading database file from:
/usr/share/qgis/resources/srs.db Because of this the projection selector
will not work..." and then QGIS crashes.
Interestingly, I can open shape files from my file browser (it starts
QGIS and loads the file) but then I cannot add another one. Raster
(GeoTif) data are also fine.
I have no idea what's causing this. I have tried removing and
reinstalling QGIS (version 2.18 and 2.14) without any success.
Can anybody give me any hint what might have corrupted my system?
Thanks a lot,
Mira
