DragonOS_Focal / Discussion / General Discussion: Cubic sdr and sdrangel crash on opening.

Jim Middleton - 2022-04-04

I just updated to the latest version of Dragonos and when I try to run Cubicsdr and Sdrangel they crash on opening.
I'm using hackrf.

Thanks

Hi Jim. Can you boot this same computer from the USB stick, run it live, and check to see if either application runs? Also, if you open up a terminal and run either application from command line i.e sdrangel or CubicSDR (might be cubicsdr or Cubicsdr) it can give some clues. Did you find that both worked before? I suspect something graphical, so if you try and run it live that may rule out some kind of driver issue.

  I am currently running it from live usb.
  
  Sorry, the problem ones were Cubicsdr and Sdr++ not Sdrangel.
  
  When I run from the terminal these are the errors it produces.
  
  Thanks

Jim,

If you're running it live we have to manually start the SDRPlay installer, although I don't think that's the main problem. I'm almost willing to bet it something graphical, mind saying the specs on the laptop? Integrated graphics or AMD, Nvidia, etc? I've seen this happen before. I was hoping by not running it installed you'd use the generic drivers, but maybe it doesn't like those.

At any rate, try the following which will clear up the complaints about sdrplay.

sudo /usr/src/SDRplay_RSP_API-Linux-3.07.1.run

After installing the SDRplay api, you could also try and start sdrpp at the command line like this

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 /usr/bin/sdrpp

That's how I start it on the PinePhone.
