Thanks Eric, will do though I used the sealed one given by Ettus but stranger things have happened.

I had also wondered about whether the USB ports on my laptop were running fast enough and before I posted, have confirmed "Enhanced" in the Host Controller description.

I wonder if U is underun and O is overrun? I briefly looked at the source but am not familiar with GNU_Radio and it's classes.

Thanks again for your suggestion,

       Regards,

                John

I recently purchased a USRP and have a fresh install of WUBI (HP Pavillion DV5 , Windows Home Vista) and used gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/UbuntuInstall to install things.

I passed 'make check' correctly

I have my username in the group usrp

j...@ubuntu:~/gnuradio$ ls -lR /dev/bus/usb | grep usrp
crw-rw---- 1 root usrp 189, 132 2010-09-21 11:14 005

when I execute ./usrp_benchmark_usb.py I get:


Testing 2MB/sec... gr_vmcircbuf_createfilemapping: createfilemapping is not available /home/john/.gnuradio/prefs/gr_vmcircbuf_default_factory: Permission denied

and it hangs so I kill it

[1]+  Stopped                 ./usrp_benchmark_usb.py

I cannot repeat this operation as I get

Testing 2MB/sec... usrp_open_interface:usb_set_alt_interface: failed

          snip.........

Just to rule out a flakey cable, can you try using a different USB 2 cable?

Eric
