Hi Nick,

I'd personally say that the GNU Radio packages in Ubuntu should be
pretty up to date (thanks, Maitland!), but the UHD in Ubuntu is
extremely old, so if you want to use USRPs, you can't use Ubuntu's GNU
Radio.
Since building isn't that hard nowadays, and you had bad experiences
with the Ubuntu package, I'd just try using pybombs [1]:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pybombs/pybombs.git && cd pybombs && 
./pybombs install gnuradio 

You should be able to answer all questions with the default (just
<enter> your way through the dialog), then after everything is complete:

./pybombs env

and add the generated file to your bashrc:

echo "source <path that was used as prefix>/setup_env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

Open up a new terminal and run gnuradio-companion.

Best regards,
Marcus
