When I search for gnu radio.conf, the file doesn’t seem to be on the computer. There's no such file on my computer either - regardless of where I search for gnu_radio.conf. "gnu radio.conf" or gnu-radio.conf. There is a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gnuradio.conf on Debian (the rock on which Ubuntu was forked.) Check to see if it's there. > > Then when I run a simple flow(RTL-SDR Source -> WX GUI FFT Sink), i get a > python error of no module named osmosdr. The fact that you can run anything indicates the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gnuradio.conf should exist - unless your installation of gnuradio was statically linked. The osmosdr error could indicate that the osmosdr module wasn't installed - check $prefix/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/osmosdr and ensure something is installed there. It's also possible this error message is a result of previous errors. > > Then I tried the Live DVD. Trying both from DVD and from USB Flashdrive.

You may already have a rtl kernel driver loaded for your Ethernet card which your rtl dongle is trying to use but can't.
