Hello,

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.

Is this a known bug and is there a workaround?

Thanks,  
Rich

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”.

Yes i was talking about the app\_store.py script. Thanks for replying.  
I’ll  
use the command line.
