Executing the flow graph: window closes immediatly

Hello,

I’m totally new to the gnu radio project and trying my first steps into
the world of SDR.

At this moment i ran into a problem: I followed the steps of the
tutorial at
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Guided_Tutorial_GRC

I made the flowchart exactly as described in the tutorial, but when i
try to execute the flow graph, a window appears and directly closes.

When I try to run the code directly from the terminal i get following
message: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

How can I fix this issue?

Regards

Nick

Hi Nick,

segmentation fault is a severe error; it means that the program you
generated tried to access memory that wasn’t there. The error really
doesn’t say anything more.
We haven’t seen such error in released GNU Radio versions lately.

My guess therefore is that there might be something wrong with your set
up instead.
How did you install GNU Radio? If you’ve installed it from source, or
build-gnuradio, or pybombs you must not install gnuradio from Ubuntu’s
package archives.

Best regards,
Marcus

That does sound correct; so we need to really look deeper into what goes
wrong in your flowgraph. Which one from that tutorial are we talking
about specifically? Can you share the .grc file?

Marcus

I followed the tutorial on gnuradio.org (correct link:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Guided_Tutorial_GRC )

This is the particular flowchart we’re talking about:

In attachment is the .grc file.

Hi Marcus,

I installed the gnu radio from the command “sudo apt-get install
gnuradio” trough the terminal.

This installation went smooth and I did not observe any problems.

After this I started to follow the tutorial (
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Guided_Tutorial_GRC )
but on step 2.1.2 the cmake command failed so i needed to install the
cmake and doxygen packages.

Best regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

I don’t know whether this is good or bad news: On my machine, this runs
beautifully.
I don’t have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS at hand, but since that is one of the main
platforms that people use to work with GNU Radio, a systematic error in
GNU Radio would most likely have been spotted already.

Now, I’d like to ask you to run the flowgraph with GDB, to get more
debugging info. Is that alright with you?

sudo apt-get install gdb #if you don’t have gdb installed
gdb python /path/to/flowgraph.py #path is displayed in the GRC console
when you hit the “generate” button.
(gdb) run

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Nick,

I’d personally say that the GNU Radio packages in Ubuntu should be
pretty up to date (thanks, Maitland!), but the UHD in Ubuntu is
extremely old, so if you want to use USRPs, you can’t use Ubuntu’s GNU
Radio.
Since building isn’t that hard nowadays, and you had bad experiences
with the Ubuntu package, I’d just try using pybombs [1]:

git clone --recursive GitHub - gnuradio/pybombs: PyBOMBS (Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System) is the GNU Radio install management system for resolving dependencies and pulling in out-of-tree projects. && cd
pybombs && ./pybombs install gnuradio

You should be able to answer all questions with the default (just
your way through the dialog), then after everything is complete:

./pybombs env

and add the generated file to your bashrc:

echo “source /setup_env.sh” >> ~/.bashrc

Open up a new terminal and run gnuradio-companion.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I’m sorry i made just a terrible mistake: i reply’d to the wrong tread.

This was my answer:

Marcus,

I just saw i was still running a 32 bit installation of linux. I just
removed my old installation and busy reinstalling a fresh Ubuntu 14.04
LTS.

What instalation way is best? Installing by the sudo apt-get install
command or just build my own version?

best regards,

Nick
