Hi!

I don't think(=know if) that the "Java" message has anything to do with
GRASS.

(a) You can launch grass from a terminal by typing:
gass -gui

(b) Or you want to add a new menu item (Ubuntu specific: System >
Preferences > Main Menu > New Item  -- then enter "grass -gui" withouth
the qiuotes in the "command" field, give some a name for your new
"launcher" and a description if you like. *** Decide under which Menu
you want/will place the "grass" launcher ***).

You might (...probably) want to read the following thread(s):
