Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] help with USRP and USB permissions

[George Nychis]

flawless victory

but now i have another problem, that i some how created using those two
methods below... I searched the mailing list and google for this but
couldn't find a solution.

address@hidden ~/school/SDR/gnuradio/gnuradio-examples/python/usrp $
./usrp_wfm_rcv.py
write_internal_ram failed: error sending control message: Protocol error
usrp: failed to load firmware /usr/share/usrp/rev2/std.ihx.

In dmesg:
usb 1-7: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 64 rq 160 len 3
ret -71

I did not change any kernel settings... only things i changed are what i
listed as trying to get the permission thing to work.

We have two USRP's and two desktops, the board worked on the other
desktop, therefore its not the board ... and i tried the other board on
my desktop and it doesn't work... so its gotta be my comp.

Additionally, I tried make uninstall and rebuilt everything... no change

any ideas?

Thanks!
George
