RuntimeError: Unable to find USRP #0

Hello guys,
I have already installed the gnuradio on Ubuntu 8.10 (interpid) and the
dial_tone.py is working fine. Then, I was trying to test the
usrp_wfm_rcv.py with my USRP which takes input from 10.7M scanner but I
came to the following error:

ubuntuvm@ubuntuvm:~/Desktop/gnuradio-3.1.3/gnuradio-examples/python/usrp$

I have recently had this kind of problem, so maybe I can help.
Did you make sure udev is working correctly and you have read/write
permissions to the block device?

I usually face this error. and always it is when i didnot correctly plug
in the USB cable or the power cable to the USRP.

I don’t know whether it is same problem for you. So, ignore it if not.
