Pete, if the Ubuntu and Pentoo Live DVD's are both not working, it's not pentoo.
It's an issue with the computer, perhaps your virtualization settings are screwy in the bios? When you get a VM running, get an error log and post it here, let's see what we can do, ok? *Joshua A.

Or did I read it wrong? And if it was just the pentoo livedvd that wouldn't boot, what went wrong? Error messages? *Joshua A.

Pete, SDR requires some decent computing power, nothing crazy, but not bottom of the line. I'd recommend at least an i5 core and 8 gig of Ram, 16 would be better but you can always upgrade later. Video cards and SDR are a moot point unless you're going to use something like gr-fosphor requiring Cuda support. Ubuntu 14 will do the job well, but it can be a bit bloated. Lubuntu is less bloated, but it may require you to compile more packages. The trade off between bloat and installation issues may be a deciding factor on which version to use. I have not tried raw Debian, but it should do the job well too. Currently I'm running it well on an Asus G73S and an Alienware M14. The Asus runs it without issue and handles gr-fosphor well too. Of course the Alienware runs my SDR without breaking a sweat. SDR# http://rtlsdr.org/softwarelinux Ubuntu 14 http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ Lubuntu 14 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ My pybombs install guide is only a few months old, but since HackRF came out, some major packages have been added/updated. I probably need to re-write it., but it will get you in the ballpark for setting everything up. Rich On 11/8/2014 10:25 PM, C Crane wrote: It runs fine on my Dell XPS12.

And if yes, can you tell me the exact model number, the pentoo version and any other thing you did beside just install pentoo on the machine? Tired of turning in circle trying to find a way to run this.. it is nice to run my hack-rf with sdr#.. but would really like to tx with it.
