I just installed grass7 and attempted to start it
in CLI-only mode, never having started it before
on my machine:
grass70 -text
The result (after the Welcome message) was:
Starting GRASS GIS...
/home/benni/<UNKNOWN>/<UNKNOWN>/.gislock: No such file or directory
ERROR: /usr/local/grass-7.0.svn/etc/lock:
Unable to properly access "/home/benni/<UNKNOWN>/<UNKNOWN>/.gislock"
Please notify system personel.
Before I file a ticket: did I overlook something?
I'd hate to have to notify my system personel

After starting in wxGUI mode and making the basic
settings, it works fine, of course.
Just seems like .grass7/rc cannot be properly created
by "grass70 -txt".

The "-text" option doesn't work in 7.0. All curses-based functionality
has been removed from 7.0.
Apart from having been re-written in Python, the start-up script
hasn't actually changed much since 6.x. In particular, the -text
option is still recognised, although the curses-based interface which
it invoked no longer exists.

r45116 introduces error message for this case.
$ grass70 -text
Unable to start GRASS. You can:
- Launch GRASS with '-gui' switch (`grass70 -gui`)
- Create manually GISRC file (/home/martin/.grass7/rc)
- Launch GRASS with path to the location/mapset as an argument
(`grass70 /path/to/location/mapset`)
> The "-text" option doesn't work in 7.0. All curses-based functionality

I wonder if it could come back Python-based:
There's no fundamental reason why not. The -gui case just executes
gis_set.py, which updates $GISRC and returns a success/failure
indication. Although, writing something similar using Python and
curses would be a fair amount of work (you'd basically end up porting
most of the old Vask library to Python as well as set_data itself).
