[GRASS-user] GRASS 8 generic weekly for Linux -- startup error.

[Isaac Ullah]

Hi all, just trying to get GRASS 8 running on my laptop (Pop!_OS 20.10) and
trying the generic 64-bit Linux binaries. Made sure all dependencies are
installed, etc., (done this many times before), but getting a new error
upon start up. Splash screen goes, and then I get the following before the
new GUI can load:
Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

Goodbye from GRASS GIS

Seems like something to do with the GRASS 8 raster library? Is there a new
dependency not listed in
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass80/binary/linux/snapshot/REQUIREMENTS.html ?
Any thoughts? FYI, I was able to run the two release candidates on the same
OS (but different computer).
