Comment (by wenzeslaus):

 The behavior should be same for system with and without GUI if `-text` is
 used. Except for the warnings about browser and X. It seems that this is
 true. Perhaps the warnings shouldn't be there in the text mode since they
 are useless and probably annoying. Would you like to have them removed
 when `-text`? But note that the issue is that you //can// start with
 `-text` and then open some GUI (quite common usage) and in this case the
 warnings are quite useful.

 In both cases it prints the same message with suggestion what can be done
 to start GRASS GIS. This is perhaps the important difference to GRASS GIS
 6.4 where a text-based interface was started. There is none like this in
 7.0. The `-text` interface means command line parameters of `grass70` and
 command line inside GRASS session.

 I'm not sure with the other error you are getting. It seems that when you
 start for the second time on the same machine after unsuccessful first
 start, you get different error which does not have any suggestions how to
 fix it. I think this is wrong but I'm actually not sure how this happens.
 I'm not completely sure what is the purpose of `UNKNOWN` strings in the rc
 file and how they get there (there is a
 [source:grass/tags/release_20150220_grass_7_0_0/lib/init/grass.py#L501
 create_initial_gisrc()] function but I though the created file conntent is
 always used only internally by `grass.py`).
