Hi,

I am trying to connect a USRP X300 (1x UBX) to a PC using the PCI-Express 
Desktop Kit and I would like to ask for some help trying to make sense of the 
errors described below.

My PC runs a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 with UHD built from source.

These are the steps that I have done so far:

- Install NI RIO following these instructions 
https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_ni_rio_kernel.html
- Enable NI RIO driver with `sudo /usr/local/bin/niusrprio_pcie start`
- Load XG FPGA image `uhd_image_loader --args="type=x300,resource=RIO0,fpga=XG`
- Power cycle USRP + PC
- Enable NI RIO driver again with `sudo /usr/local/bin/niusrprio_pcie start`
- Device is being recognized:

Now, trying to benchmark the receive rate gives me the lengthy list of error 
messages below.

Any suggestions on what to try next are highly appreciated.

The device works fine in 1GE mode. I do not have the means to test 10GE mode.

Best regards
