GNURADIO with FEDORA 30

[Frank_V2]

Dear All,

good day.

I'm desperately trying to correctly install the Gnuradio package on a machine with FEDORA 30. I'm currently using a couple of Ettus B200 Mini.

I state that on fedora 23 all works fine.
How ever on fedora 30 after tens of attempts, I could install the package with "dnf install gnuradio". When I run both  uhd_find_device and uhd_usrp_probe they works well, but when I try to lunch a gnuradio utility like "uhd_fft" there are a hell of problems: the result is attached below.

Would you please help me ?
Thank very much in advance,
Francesco

Hi,

according to the Ettus instructions for Installation on Linux (USRP Hardware Driver and USRP Manual: Binary Installation), there are only stable binary releases for UHD software up to Fedora 28 (files.ettus.com:/binaries/uhd_stable/latest_release/).

Reaching out to Ettus Research Technical Support, via web or via email, is likely the best way for you to get help. There are community mailing lists and discussion forums where other folks may have run across this already.

Best regards,

Alessia

Grazie mille Alessia !!

Di nulla, Francesco!

Poiché potrebbe essere di aiuto per la community, ti invito se puoi e se vuoi ad aggiornare questo thread aggiungendo due righe sulla soluzione del problema, quando l'avrai trovata.

Senza impegno, ovvio! 🙂

A disposizione cara Alessia..se ci riesco..

... sto perdendo troppo tempo e pazienza ed oggi stavo per spaccare tutto.

Dopo aver disinstallato uhd, gnuradio et cetera, ho reinstallato il tutto semplicemente con "sudo dnf install gnuradio" (da wiki).

Quando lancio uhd_fft (es. -f 3e9), compare questo errore:

$ uhd_fft -f 3e9

Ciao Francesco,

mi spiace che tu non stia ancora riuscendo a raggiungere il tuo scopo... ma una cosa non mi è chiara: hai provato a rivolgerti al supporto Ettus?

Buona sera Alessia, 

certo ho scritto al supporto Ettus ma comunque su Fedora 30 non sono riuscito a far funzionare, a modo, Gnuradio.

Sono ritornato al Fedora 23 dove tutto sembra funzionare bene.

In futuro farò dedicare uno dei ragazzi del mio laboratorio ...pel momento non abbiamo molto tempo a disposizione

Grazie per il tuo interessamento.

Un caro saluto,

ciao
