was not getting an error in particular, but I was not able to select

It very well could be a user error (meaning I did not know what to do
next). I attempted to type "2" to go to Select/Modify imagery group

</div>GRASS 7 doesn't include i.ortho.photo, since Xmonitors were removed<br>
there. I'm not sure if anyone is working on a wxGUI replacement for<br>
it or not.<br>

UbuntuGIS only supplies official GRASS releases, so 6.4.3 is the latest.<br>

ideally like to run i.ortho.photo directly on Ubuntu. It appears that
6.4.3 would be my only option if I can get it to work. I read somewhere
that i.ortho.photo should work from the command line, but I would
rather go through the GUI if at all possible. It would be great if
i.ortho.photo could be included with GRASS 7.0. Is i.ortho.rectify
going to replace i.ortho.photo? </span><br><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Thanks for the help!<br><br></span></div><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Shaun</span></div>
