Hello… new user here. I need to know what do next. There is no GRC icon after the install. Any help would be great. Thanks. I ran the following on a very fresh install of Ubuntu LTS. sudo apt-get install git git clone git://github.com/pybombs/pybombs cd pybombs ./pybombs install gnuradio sudo ldconfig There were no errors reported along the way and took about 1 hour. I selected all of the defaults during the pybombs install. Terminal window displayed the following upon completion: Best unaligned arch: u\_sse3 RUN\_VOLK\_TESTS: volk\_32f\_s32f\_multiply\_32f( 204602,10000) u\_sse completed in 470ms u\_avx completed in 480ms generic completed in 1110ms a\_sse completed in 470ms a\_avx completed in 500ms a\_generic completed in 1120ms Best aligned arch: u\_sse Best unaligned arch: u\_sse Creating “/home/xxxx/.volk”… Writing “/home/xxxx/.volk/volk\_config”… xxxx@xxxx-TECRA-R950:~/pybombs$ sudo ldconfig [sudo] password for xxxx: xxxx@xxxx-TECRA-R950:~/pybombs$ Now what? ---

Hi John. In a command window, type gnuradio-companion That will launch grc. While it’s open, you will have an icon on the left-hand icon bar. Right click the grcicon, and lock it to the launch bar, then you’ll have an icon in the future. – Tom, N5EG * * * From: John M.

John, You need to run: “./pybombs env” and then follow the instructions about using the “source” command to set the environment variables. Once this is done type “gnuradio-companion” in the terminal to launch GRC. Mike – Mike J. M0MIK BSc MIET Email: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Web: [http://scanoo.com](http://scanoo.com)
