I have my new HackRF working with GNU radio in Windows 7. I updated the firmware and clpd to latest I want to learn to use SDR in a Linux environment so I installed the Ubuntu package 16.04.2 LTS onto a dedicated HP i5 M520 Quad core laptop. I tried to install pip then PyBOMBS to use to install GNU radio but there are many slightly different instructions that I encountered error messages along the way. I wiped my drive/partition and reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04.2 and then used the recommended approach on https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR
$ apt-get install gnuradio This ran for a while installing and it seems to have installed OK. I next queried my HackRF with $ hackrf_info and got a message to install it with $ apt-get install hackrf, which I did. Now when I run $ hackrf_info I get the apparently notorious: Found HackRF board 0 hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000) I checked the FAQ's and ran hackrf_info as root but got same message. I also ran it a few times with same result, so it doesn't seem to be a permission problem. I read that if the install was with PyBOMBS that udev rules need updating but I don't know if the install procedure I followed used pybombs Any advice appreciated. Jerry NY2KW
