are you starting grass from the command line or from a self-made launcher?
if from a launcher, make sure you have the "start in terminal" box ticked.
if from the command line it should start ok, or let you see the error
message.


(the current package doesn't, but the next version of the ubuntu+debian
packages will ship an icon + menu entry)
