GNU Radio Companion QT GUI Window Quit Immediately

Hi,

I am new to GNU Radio, so I built a FM receiver to get started on the
journey. I created the following .grc file, and when I clicked
<>,
I saw the QT GUI window pop up and exit immediately. The sound came out
only for less than a second and disappeared as the window sank. I’ve
researched this problem in this forum awhile, and someone suggested it’s
probably due to multiple versions of gnuradio installed. But I cleaned
everything related to uhd and gnuradio in my /usr/local directories, and
reinstalled via the script “build-gnuradio”, it still didn’t work. So
could
you confirm with me whether this is the reason of my problem, and if so,
where can I check to find the conflicted version? And what do you
suggest
me do?

I can do uhd_fft successfully, which opens up a window and never quit.

I am using ubuntu 14.04, usrp b210. I used “build-gnuradio” to install
everything. It turned out that grc is 3.7.6.1, with uhd being 3.8.1

Here’s the output of doing <>. It ended with “DONE”, and
windows
quit

Hi Xu,

Sorry for the delay on this one; I recognized the error but I really
thought that we had already patched it. I’ve just pushed a fix for it
that
we’ll get merged into GNU Radio soon. It was a stray (old) call to the
aligned version of a VOLK kernel in SpectrumGUIClass.
