[GRASS-user] Error launching GUI in Grass 7.8.1

Hi guys,

I upgraded my Grass version from 7.6.0 to 7.6.1 via the UbuntuGIS PPA in my package manager, and on launching the new version for the first time today, I get the following error:

grass -gui

Starting GRASS GIS…

Traceback (most recent call last):

ERROR: Error in GUI startup. See messages above (if any) and if necessary, please report this error to the GRASS developers.

On systems with package manager, make sure you have the right GUI package, probably named grass-gui, installed.

To run GRASS GIS in text mode use the --text flag.

Use ‘–help’ for further options

grass78 --help

See also: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/helptext.html

Exiting…

I’m running it on Linux Mint 19.2, with gdal 2.4.2, proj 5.2.1, and wx libraries are 3.0.4. Running grass -text seems to be ok.

There was this related change some time ago:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/155
wxGUI: NewIdRef was added only in wxPyhton 4.0.3. Fix import for <4.0.3

Apparently not enough?

in gui/wxpython/gui_core/wrap.py

`if wxPythonPhoenix and CheckWxVersion([4, 0, 3, 0]):`

... is it possible that this line still fails on Ubuntu/Mint with wx
libraries 3.0.4
?

Hi Markus,

If you need the version number of specific libraries, let me know. I'm not sure which ones are relevant. I noticed that my python-wxtools and python-gtk libraries are version 3.0.2.

Here on a Mint macine in the office we solved the

"wx not found" problem with:

sudo apt-get install python3-wxgtk4.0

Now the 7.8.1 GUI starts.

Next issue to solve is:
"ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef'

So, we reached your bug at our end :slight_smile:

Haha, the backport to relbranch78 was missing:
now done in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/commit/b7fb30a1da066e8864c8e36c5d55a93402e29dd0

This will go into GRASS GIS 7.8.2.

@Eric: you may simply edit the file locally to get it fixed without
waiting for 7.8.2.

Hello to evenyone,
i have exactly the same problem that Eric Patton had. This morning suddenly I got the same error message. I read the conversation and kind understood that there is a file in grass78 that should be edited in order to fix the error, however i did not notice where exactly this file is and how should I edit it. Additionally, it only happened on my GRASS GIS installation for Ubuntu in virtual machine, while the one on windows (Grass7.6) is still working. Any suggestions? thank you,
A
