I just installed PyBOMBS on Ubuntu 14.04. I’m noticing that sometimes
the
icon labels are readable, but a lot of them are off the screen and can’t
be
selected, like UHD. The last icon available to install for me when this
happens is osmo-tetra.
To overcome this, I close PyBOMBS and restart it. Usually after this, I
am
able to see all the icons, but they are squished in such a way that I
can’t
read the labels of that are missing a thumbnail picture. I can read UHD,
gnuradio, gnss-sdr, etc. because those have non-default thumbnails. All
the
icons with ? thumbnail pics are unreadable.
It sounds like you’re talking about the app_store.py script, which is
basically experimental and not guaranteed to work well (as you’re
experiencing). Use pybombs from the command line, it’s really simple.
Just run ./pybombs install “whatever package you want”.
