Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio.conf file

[Barry Duggan]

Hi Volker and Michael,

Thank you for that information. On my Raspbian Buster system I found the 
following:

- there is a /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator, but no 'xterm' anywhere I 
could find;
- there is a /usr/local/etc/gnuradio/conf.d/grc.conf file, but the 
xterm_executable is blank;
- env shows 'TERM=xterm-256color'.

Since the error message I got applied to 3.7, I'm guessing it didn't get 
changed for 3.8 or 3.9.

It's all very confusing, but since it works 'as is', I think I will 
leave it alone ;)

Best regards,

Hi,
on linux  there seems to be no gnuradio.conf ( 3.8 , 3.9). But in
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX//etc/gnuradio/conf.d/
there exists grc.conf.

This file contains

# This file contains system wide configuration data for GNU Radio.
# You may override any setting on a per-user basis by editing
# ~/.gnuradio/config.conf

[grc]
global_blocks_path = 
/usr/local/gnuradio-volker/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks
local_blocks_path =
default_flow_graph =
xterm_executable = /usr/bin/xterm
canvas_font_size = 8
canvas_default_size = 1280, 1024

In
~/.gnuradio there exists grc.conf containing user specific infos of grc
like used flowgraphs etc.

    Hi Barry - The file "gnuradio.conf" resides in "~/.gnuradio/". In my 
setup, I put the "[grc]"and "xterm"
    lines in the file "config.conf" in the same directory ... not sure 
if this is correct ... maybe I could combine them into a single
    "*.conf"? Anyway ... the entry (after "[grc]") should be something 
like:
    {{{
    xterm_executable = /opt/local/bin/xterm
    }}}
    I just specifies which "xterm" executable to use. GRC should be able 
to find a default "xterm"
    assuming it's in a standard system path. On my computer I have the 
system "xterm" as well as one compiled
    from source, so I actually use the above line to set the specific 
"xterm" for GRC to use. Hope this is
    useful! - MLD
