[Qgis-user] GRASS support lost (again) on Ubuntu/Mint

[Patrick Dunford]

There are some issues supporting xenial, are you able to test on a more 
recent version of Ubuntu or Debian, maybe in a virtual machine. I am 
going to have a look at my 17.04 vm with the latest 2.18 to see.


I would not recommend Mint - apart from being not an officially 
supported distro, the most recent version is based on what is now 
relatively old Ubuntu xenial, because the Mint people are falling behind 
in development. I switched to Xubuntu to avoid the Unity controversy.
