Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] "USB open failed: insufficient permissions"

[Nicolas Cuervo]

Hello Alejandra,

please set up the USB udev triggers so that non-root users can have access to the device. Follow the instructions that can be found in our manual [1].

Remember to unplug and plug your device after you have followed the required steps.

Regards,

-Nicolas

hi Ale, 

Is it your first attempt with gnuradio? Did you install uhd as root or as a normal user? Maybe you need to open gnuradio as root.
