Greetings,

```
 My platform is the Mint 13 distribution of Linux which is based on

```

Ubuntu 12.04.

```
 I have been struggling with gnuradio trying to get it to work with

```

my FuncubeProPlus dongle for which I have installed the latest  
fcdproplus package a couple of times. The example application shows the  
fcdproplus blocks OK indicating that the fcdproplus package for it is  
compiled and installed. There are fcdproplus files in the  
usr/share/gnuradio subdirectories thus the install appears normal. I can  
execute the dialtone and sweep examples which run OK indicating gnuradio  
is functional.

```
 I have done the following:

     - Entered the recommended Udev rules. The funcube USB device is

```

detected as it is listed as a Microchip device by the lsusb command. The  
dongle is shown with the expected “fb31” id that is assigned to the  
fcdproplus. But lsusb shows is on bus 4 which differs from the udev  
rules statement that indicate that it should be on bus 1, I don’t know  
if this is relevant to the problem.

```
     - I have added the /usr/share/gnuradio path to the PATH

```

statement for both SU and user accounts.

```
 I get the following dump when I try to execute the example:

```

* * *

Generating: “/home/tma/GNU\_Radio/GRC\_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”

Executing: “/home/tma/GNU\_Radio/GRC\_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/tma/GNU\_Radio/GRC\_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”, line 19, in  
  
import fcdproplus  
ImportError: No module named fcdproplus

> > > Done

* * *

```
 I don't know what is meant by module......is it looking for a

```

software module or is that it cannot find the USB dongle? As FMRadio.py  
is re-generated with every execution attempt there is nothing that I can  
change that will stick in that file.

```
 I wonder if anyone here can help me?

```

Best Regards,  
Tom

Hi Tom,

“module” is meant in the python library kind of sense. This means that  
wherever you installed your funcubedongle python code to, it’s not being  
found by python, and in effect can’t be used in a flowgraph at runtime.  
how did you install it?

Greetings, and goodnight,  
Marcus
