[Qgis-user] Any working GRASS in QGIS available?

[Alex Mandel]

After some brief testing, my OSGeoLive 8.5 VM with QGIS 2.6 and
Processing 2.9.3, GRASS 7 works.

My QGIS 2.8, GRASS 6/7, Processing 2.10.1 does not.

Both are Ubuntu 14.04 based.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Processing, or in packaging. I recall
in OSGeoLive 8.5 that we had custom packages with a patch. Note, you can
get those versions for your Ubuntu system from
https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/release-8.5

We freeze a copy of the working versions in our own ppa for long term
history.

Thanks,
Alex
