[GRASS-dev] installing GRASS 7 on Ubuntu issue

[Rashad M]

yes. this was a bug in packaging which I couldnt get time to fix. But
installing grass-gui package will help to solve the problem.

sudo apt-get install grass-gui

sudo apt-get install grass should install everything as this is a virtual
package but it not doing it right way. I may find some time this week to
fix these and merge some very important patches from debianGIS.

To sum up for now
you need to install grass like
apt-get install grass-core grass-gui

Let me know if this works so that i can confirm this issue.
