I don’t see how this will get threaded, but anyway…

I finally got it to work. I had to completely reinstall ubuntu, then I  
installed gnome-shell chromium-browser & synaptic. I installed gnuradio  
from synaptic. It uninstalled gnome & chromium & my touchpad(LOL) but  
when I put everything back together it ran. I think it is related to  
this bug:

> **[Bug #1424466 “Devel package not installable in 14.04.2” : Bugs : mesa package...](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1424466)**
>
> \[Impact\] 
> \* Some -dev packages like ubuntu-sdk and libglew-dev cannot be installed when the lts-utopic stack is used.
> 
> \[Test Case\]
> \* Install the lts-utopic stack.
> \* apt-get install ubuntu-sdk
> \* Good: you get a whole list of packages to install.

Ubuntu says:  
“As far as installing some of those packages in 14.04.2 (HWE) the issues  
have been 90%+ fixed with new mesa source packages (10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4).  
However they are currently only in trusty -proposed. Read bug report  
that I’ve duped your above report to.”

Ubuntu added something called “mesa” recently & the rollout seems to be  
painful to say the least.

Hope this helps & please consider closed.
