I’ve been trying to run the 8 release candidate. I’m on a stock Ubuntu (21.10) install and I’ve downloaded the binary 8 release candidate for grass. I do have Grass 7.8.5 running.
Anyway - I’ve installed in a custom location and in the default. I start grass and get. The GRASS Splash screen does come up and stays up for about 2 secs and then I’m sitting at the prompt. I can’t get the GUI up and running. Thoughts (I can file a bug report if needed):
./grass
Starting GRASS GIS...
Cleaning up temporary files...
