no idea.. once you are in the GRASS text session, will the GUI
start with "g.gui" ?

what does 'd.mon -L' say about x0 - x7?
  x0   X-windows graphics display
is it there?

which version of GRASS? from the main ubuntu packages or UbuntuGIS's ppa or "GRASS Team" ppa?

note d.out.file only works with "d.mon start=x0", not the wxGUI.
