Description
When I run through the directions here:
https://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/linux/ Using the unstable ppa
Then try to start grass in the terminal I get an error “wxGUI requires wxPython. No module named wx”
Python-wxgtk3.0 is installed on the machine so not sure what the issue may be.
If I try start grass with the -text command then I get an error “Unable to start Grass GIS”
I tried installing the grass-daily build to see if I had better success, but no luck

Hi I solved the issue I was having with the GRASS (and QGIS) install on Ubuntu. I had Anaconda python installed for data analysis, so there were issues with dependencies between the root python install and the Anaconda Python.
this Blog helped me figure it out https://kangarooha.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/fix-the-error-couldnt-load-pyqt4-python-support-will-be-disabled-while-using-continuums-anaconda/ and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20364700/using-two-different-python-distributions setting up the Anaconda python as an alias did the trick, Grass and QGIS (provided by ubuntugis) installed fine and are working. Spyder that I use for data analysis still finds the Anaconda python core by default so I have not lost anything in the process.
