Hi,
I'd like to ask for help when I am using GRC and the USRP source to
plot the signal to a FFT.
My system is Ubuntu 11.04.
Thanks!

The inability to set real-time scheduling shouldn't be a show-stopper,
in fact, I tend to *not* run with realtime on my systems, and
it's just fine. But assuming that you've added your userid to
"usrp", you can add the following line to /etc/security/limits.conf:
@usrp - rtprio 50
Then log out and back in, and you'll have real-time priority permissions.
What may be an issue is that you're running at 16Msps, which may be
higher than your CPU hardware can handle. Also, since this is
a USRP1, I think that 16Msps is only supported with 8-bit samples,
which requires that a special version of the firmware get downloaded
into the USRP1, and I'm not sure that UHD takes care of that
automagically.
