I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit and having a few problems with Gqrx.

After a few false starts and dead ends I managed to get Gqrx compiled from git.
For some reason my pc then decided to set the FCD as device 0, i.e. hw:0, which
Gqrx didn't seem to like. I got the system to set the FCD as hw:2 last night and
Gqrx started working well. This morning, after switching the pc on my FCD once
again got set to hw:0 so I unplugged it, rebooted and plugged it back in so it
was hw:2. However Gqrx is now giving the same results as when the FCD was on
hw:0, see below:

The syslog shows this error:
Nov 17 10:28:56 simon-desktop kernel: [ 2331.278341] cannot submit datapipe for
urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth

Running the pre-compiled binary version of Gqrx and running one of the FCD
examples in gnuradio-companion also gives the same result.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and/or can suggest a solution?

Hi Simon,

Concerning the audio overrun (aOaO...) issue, I have seen it a few times on a laptop but it always disappears after reboot. I suspect it is a hardware and/or driver issue but I don't have sufficient info to find out more about it.

I am working on a new audio backend for gqrx which will hopefully eliminate both the aO issue and the problem with changing device names.

Alex

• Compile GNU Radio
• Compile gr-fcd
• Set up access to GitHub
• Compile Gqrx

 

Alex, and the rest of the group,

you may be pleased to hear that I've successfully built Gqrx (and GNU Radio 3.4.2) from source under Ubuntu 11.04, and listened to the local 23cm beacon &c.

However, there is a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric). For some reason the GNU Radio header files are not being picked up, which results in a major compile error! That can be fixed to some extent in the qgrx.pro file, with similar lines to add an INCLUDEPATH to those used for OS/X. However, that is not enough for a successful compilation. (And I do not really wish to revert to Ubuntu 11.04 or install Debian!) [One suspects/is very sure that this problem is because of a bug in pkg-config: Ubuntu bug #853126.]

As part of this activity I have prepared a set of instructions as to how, under Ubuntu, to:

• Compile GNU Radio
• Compile gr-fcd
• Set up access to GitHub
• Compile Gqrx

How do you prefer bugs against your Gqrx builds to be reported? Via this group, directly, or some other way?

I have to say that building Gqrx under Qt Creator was very easy, once everything else had been set up.

73,

Robin, G8DQX

 

Hi Simon,

You can add those export lines to the end of the .bashrc file in the home directory and they will be executed automatically every time you open a new terminal.

Concerning the audio devices, I have pushed some changes to the master repository so that gqrx now tries to autodetect the FCD device. You can try it by doing a "git pull" then rebuild.

Alex

 

Robin,

it does build under Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit), I have to export the following variables before running qtcreator (from the same shell):
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fcd

Unfortunately, when I run it I get audio overrun, which seems to be related to the fact that I'm finding it difficult to get my system to allocated anything other than hw:0 to the FCD.

Regards

Simon
G0FCU.

Simon: did you de-activate the FCD from the normal pulse audio system? (In Ubuntu (and probably Fedora), deselect the FCD from the Sound Preference Hardware Tab.)

 

Hmmmm ok but how can we solve that ?!?
Next firmware please :-)
I thought that the firmware was setting the correct filter
But I did not check the whole fcd bands ...
I only used it on 2m and 70 cm yet
After I have seen the other mail about 868100I checked and found the other
fault (100kc lower lowest uhf filter used)
I thought that the switching in the fcd was correct ... now think about a
user that uses only the simple frontend (small gui) ... he would never
notice WHY his fcd in deaf on some frequencies ...
So developers : would it be possible to make a firmware that takes the
correct filters???

Folks

Release 18j available here:
http://www.funcubedongle.com/MyImages/export18j.pro.bin

This has a fix for the incorrect filter preselection between 868MHz and 1GHz.

This was also built within a completely new development environment, so please
let me know any problems!

Many thanks, Howard

Thanks howard for new firmware
Seems to work (after short test)
Uploading was a snap :-) worked without error in first try
Just a few mouse-clicks and job was done (start full hid, reset to bl-mode,
start boot-loading soft, upload new firmware, reset to app)
Start hdsdr and see the filter chage while setting new qrg
Also switching bias from v/u band to l band worked ... so seems as you made
a good work (AGAIN!)

A new version of my FCD-Scanner application can be downloaded here
http://www.sa0and.com/MyRigSoftware.html at your own risk.
The new version is developed in Visual Basic 2010 Express and is only tested
with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
The utility include now a simple squelch function.

This works great for me Adam. Will be testing on Win7 32 bit and Vista this week
as time allows.

Is there anyone out there running this software under debian?

TIA,

Hi,

I've not actually compiled qthid on Debian Squeeze myself, but I have just
compiled all of gnuradio and gqrx and that all built OK on Crunchbang Linux,
which is a derivative of Debian Squeeze. To do this, I had to get the QT SDK
installer direct from Nokia and installed QT 4.7 that way.

Anyway, to the point.  Are you sure your build failed?  In the build output in
your post I see a bunch of warnings, but no errors, and the last few lines:
---
g++ -m64 -o qthid mainwindow.o main.o fcd.o freqctrl.o iqbalance.o fcddiagram.o
firmware.o dockifgain.o hid-libusb.o moc_mainwindow.o moc_freqctrl.o
moc_iqbalance.o moc_fcddiagram.o moc_firmware.o moc_dockifgain.o qrc_qthid.o
-L/usr/lib -lusb-1.0 -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread

make: Leaving directory `/home/alejo/sat-a-ware/funcube/qthid_git'

Exited with code 0.
---

show the object files being linked into the binary and make returning success. 
I'd be tempted to think that it all worked.

What makes you think otherwise?

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

I've been having this issue persistently on an EEE-901 netbook running
Crunchbang Linux Statler distro (a derivative of Debian Squeeze).

The FCD seems to work  on the netbook OK with gnuradio-companion, but I
get the stream of "aUaO" characters, the occasional "I/Q: nan/nan" and a
pretty pink waterfall in gqrx. I can run gnuradio-companion immediately
after failing with gqrx and its all good.

Running "cat /proc/asound/cards" shows the FCD on hw:1 as expected.

I've got it all working on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine including gqrx, so I'm
familiar enough with  the process.  I've been building gqrx from git in
QT-Creator.

The netbook didn't formerly have pulseaudio installed.  I satisfied the
build deps by installing it, but otherwise have done nothing special to
configure pulse on the netbook.

Can you offer any clues?  If you're making changes to gqrx to mitigate
this issue, and need beta testers, I'd be happy to help.

Hi Darren, many thanks for your reply,

You are right, it all looks like it compiled OK but i get random segfaults when qthid is opened.

I have tried to explain the issue to the developer of the software but i guess i've been just an annoyance.

(no user, no cry! :D ) 

a week ago i was told this:

Ok, now it makes more sense: It builds fine but crashes at runtime. Note that the "frequency hopping" code was indeed causing crash on linux so I removed it again from the latest code in the git repository.

First and foremost, I would recommend you to try to build and execute the latest official release 3.1. If it builds and runs fine we would at least know that your installation is fine and it is indeed changes in the qthid code that cause crashes.

In order to get debug information in qthid you can try the following:
- Ensure that the selected target id "Debug" and not release (one of the buttons in the lower left corner)
- Execute qthid within the qtcreator debugger (the run button in the lower left corner with the little bug on it)

---

I've sent some debug info but got no answer yet and the git sources have not been updated yet, last one happened on:  csete authored January 01, 2012

so I guess I will just have to wait and see if some other debian wheezy users hit the same wall.

I had compiled many times the git sources under (X)(K)Bubuntu but after their latest version I had no other option than migrating to debian. Where i have compiled many other qt applications and even got wine from git so to use spectravue to control the FCD.

I have to be quick on setting the freq before qthid segfaults, and this happens with the latest stable binary version also.

So yes, in my experience qthid compiles under ubuntu but not under debian.. for sure is something related to versions.. i will try getting the sources from Nokia.

Again many thanks for your help Darren.

Hi,

I've not actually compiled qthid on Debian Squeeze myself, but I have just compiled all of gnuradio and gqrx and that all built OK on Crunchbang Linux, which is a derivative of Debian Squeeze. To do this, I had to get the QT SDK installer direct from Nokia and installed QT 4.7 that way.

Anyway, to the point.  Are you sure your build failed?  In the build output in your post I see a bunch of warnings, but no errors, and the last few lines:
---
g++ -m64 -o qthid mainwindow.o main.o fcd.o freqctrl.o iqbalance.o fcddiagram.o firmware.o dockifgain.o hid-libusb.o moc_mainwindow.o moc_freqctrl.o moc_iqbalance.o moc_fcddiagram.o moc_firmware.o moc_dockifgain.o qrc_qthid.o -L/usr/lib -lusb-1.0 -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread

make: Leaving directory `/home/alejo/sat-a-ware/funcube/qthid_git'

Exited with code 0.
---

show the object files being linked into the binary and make returning success.  I'd be tempted to think that it all worked.

What makes you think otherwise?

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

2.1. Re: Gqrx problem
   Posted by: "g0hww" darren.long@... g0hww
   Date: Mon Jan 9, 2012 11:37 pm

I've been having this issue persistently on an EEE-901 netbook running
Crunchbang Linux Statler distro (a derivative of Debian Squeeze).

The FCD seems to work  on the netbook OK with gnuradio-companion, but I
get the stream of "aUaO" characters, the occasional "I/Q: nan/nan" and a
pretty pink waterfall in gqrx. I can run gnuradio-companion immediately
after failing with gqrx and its all good.

Running "cat /proc/asound/cards" shows the FCD on hw:1 as expected.

I've got it all working on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine including gqrx, so I'm
familiar enough with  the process.  I've been building gqrx from git in
QT-Creator.

The netbook didn't formerly have pulseaudio installed.  I satisfied the
build deps by installing it, but otherwise have done nothing special to
configure pulse on the netbook.

Can you offer any clues?  If you're making changes to gqrx to mitigate
this issue, and need beta testers, I'd be happy to help.

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

Hi again.

I've just built qthid 3.1 from git source on the netbook and it seems to be working ok for me. I've just done a quick functional check using baudline to show the spectrum and it seems to have tuned to the frequency ok.

Just to confirm, this is built with Nokia's QT SDK  4.7.4 on Crunchbang Statler which is effectively Debian Squeeze. FCD FW is 18.09.

Cheers

Darren, G0HWW

1.1. Re: failing to compile qthid (from git sources) under debian stable
   Posted by: "g0hww" darren.long@... g0hww

Hi,

I've not actually compiled qthid on Debian Squeeze myself, but I have just compiled all of gnuradio and gqrx and that all built OK on Crunchbang Linux, which is a derivative of Debian Squeeze. To do this, I had to get the QT SDK installer direct from Nokia and installed QT 4.7 that way.

Anyway, to the point.  Are you sure your build failed?  In the build output in your post I see a bunch of warnings, but no errors, and the last few lines:
---
g++ -m64 -o qthid mainwindow.o main.o fcd.o freqctrl.o iqbalance.o fcddiagram.o firmware.o dockifgain.o hid-libusb.o moc_mainwindow.o moc_freqctrl.o moc_iqbalance.o moc_fcddiagram.o moc_firmware.o moc_dockifgain.o qrc_qthid.o -L/usr/lib -lusb-1.0 -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread

make: Leaving directory `/home/alejo/sat-a-ware/funcube/qthid_git'

Exited with code 0.
---

show the object files being linked into the binary and make returning success.  I'd be tempted to think that it all worked.

What makes you think otherwise?

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

2.1. Re: Gqrx problem
   Posted by: "g0hww" darren.long@... g0hww
   Date: Mon Jan 9, 2012 11:37 pm

I've been having this issue persistently on an EEE-901 netbook running
Crunchbang Linux Statler distro (a derivative of Debian Squeeze).

The FCD seems to work  on the netbook OK with gnuradio-companion, but I
get the stream of "aUaO" characters, the occasional "I/Q: nan/nan" and a
pretty pink waterfall in gqrx. I can run gnuradio-companion immediately
after failing with gqrx and its all good.

Running "cat /proc/asound/cards" shows the FCD on hw:1 as expected.

I've got it all working on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine including gqrx, so I'm
familiar enough with  the process.  I've been building gqrx from git in
QT-Creator.

The netbook didn't formerly have pulseaudio installed.  I satisfied the
build deps by installing it, but otherwise have done nothing special to
configure pulse on the netbook.

Can you offer any clues?  If you're making changes to gqrx to mitigate
this issue, and need beta testers, I'd be happy to help.

Cheers,

Darren, G0HWW

Hi Darren,

It can also be an issue with the output device. Note that the recent
code autodetects the FCD and it doesn't matter what you type in the
input device field.

Try in grc the simple dial tone flow graph at 48 kHz, then if it works
use the same output device in gqrx.

Since gqrx doesn't do any interfacing to audio hardware or drivers (it
only uses gnuradio), the only thing I can do about it is to debug the
obsolete interface in gnuradio or to write my own audio backend. I
have planned to do the latter but given how much time I have left for
coding these days, I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the response.  Sorry to bother you with this. 

I tried the dial_tone example in grc at 48kHz. I let it use the default audio device and it worked ok, as does the FM receiver example. I then explicitly set the sink to hw:0 in grc which should be the same as the default, and that worked too.

Using hw:1 as input and hw:0 as output in gqrx still results in aUaO chars and the pink waterfall as before even after a reboot.

Just for a change, I plugged my SignalinkUSB in and selected the new hw:2 device for output in gqrx, which gave the same results as before. It seemed to work ok in grc but no change from before in gqrx.

Cheers,

Darren
