Can you look into "Log Messages Panel > Plugins" if there is an error like
"Failed to load .../lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin7.so (Reason:
Cannot load library .../lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin7.so:
(libgrass_gis.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory))

in such case there is probably missing path to GRASS libs in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or maybe it is set to different version of GRASS. Try
to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually. GRASS libs must be in path to get
provider/plugin loaded like it was in previous versions, this was not
changed with plugin upgrade.
