I don't see how this will get threaded, but anyway... I finally got it to work. I had to completely reinstall ubuntu, then I installed gnome-shell chromium-browser & synaptic. I installed gnuradio from synaptic. It uninstalled gnome & chromium & my touchpad(LOL) but when I put everything back together it ran. I think it is related to this bug:
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1424466 Ubuntu says: "As far as installing some of those packages in 14.04.2 (HWE) the issues have been 90%+ fixed with new mesa source packages (10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4). However they are currently only in trusty -proposed. Read bug report that I've duped your above report to." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1424466 Devel package not installable in 14.04.2 (mesa-lts-utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428932 " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ubuntu added something called "mesa" recently & the rollout seems to be painful to say the least. Hope this helps & please consider closed. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
