Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU-Radio GUI applications freeze

[Raul Siles]

Hello again,
After hearing about success cases of GNU Radio and the USRP GUI tools
on Fedora 8 and 9, and after reviewing and retesting the previously
described setup, I've reinstalled my whole GNU Radio environment under
Fedora 9 (vs Fedora 8) using the same laptop. Fedora 9 has been fully
updated today. I'm using GNU Radio 3.1.3 but I'm still suffering the
same GUI-based tools freeze issue.

When running "usrp_oscope.py" (or other GUI tools, like
"usrp_wfm_rcv.py") I get the following warning messages:

# usrp_oscope.py -f 2.412G

** (python:2988): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030

** (python:2988): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030

After some searching, I didn't find how to remove and solve them,
although they seem to be related with wxPython (and perhaps the issue
I'm suffering). Could anyone confirm this?

I've tried to run other (non GNU Radio) wxPython basic examples, such
as "/usr/share/doc/wxPython-2.8.7.1/samples/wxProject/wxProject.py",
and they work fine.

Some details about the current setup:

- wxPython versions:
# rpm -aq | grep -i wx
wxPython-devel-2.8.7.1-5.fc9.i386
wxBase-2.8.7-2.fc9.i386
wxGTK-gl-2.8.7-2.fc9.i386
wxGTK-devel-2.8.7-2.fc9.i386
wxPython-2.8.7.1-5.fc9.i386
wxGTK-2.8.7-2.fc9.i386

Any suggestion about how to troubleshoot this GUI issue? I'm starting
to think it is related to the hardware I'm using.
Thanks for your help!
