Hello,
I am new
to this mailing list, but that does not mean that I have been
following SDR activities here at osmocom and especially
gnuradio actively. I am not a linux professional, but
"intermediate beginner". I currently have a problem running my
Hama Nano DVB-T Dongle which I cannot solve and therefore need
to turn to you with the following problem:
I hava an
Intel Pentium 977 machine running Ubuntu 12.04LTS in the 64bit
version. I compiled and installed gnuradio using the script
from Marcus Leech (http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio)
I have an
Hama Nano DVB-T Dongle which contains an RTL2832U Chip
combined with the E4000 frontend.
When I try
to access the Dongle via rtlsdr (either via sample programs in
GRC or simply via rtl_test -s) I get
cb
transfer status: 1, canceling...
Library
error 0, exiting...
Speicherzugriffsfehler
(Speicherabzug geschrieben) (engl.: "segmentation fault")
I found
two threads regarding this problem in this mailinglist:
1) http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/2013-January/000443.html
2) http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/2012-August/000201.html
With
respect to the former (1) I checked my version of
libusb-1.0-0-dev which is 2:1.0.9~rc3-2ubuntu1
With
respect to the latter (2) (and older post) I checked in my
source of the rtlsdr library if the proposed change is
included and it is.
So I do
not have any clue how and where to proceed further. I'd be
happy to give you any more information you need and try out
patches. If you have any ideas or could point me to the right
direction, I'd be very happy about
Thanks
upfront for your consideration and best regards,
Markus
P.S.: The
dongle worked on this machine before, but I do not remember if
I had the 32bit Ubuntu version running and which versions of
gnuradio, etc. were installed.
My conclusion from thread (1), based on the response from Peter
Stuge, was that rtl-sdr was mis-using libusb by closing the device
without waiting for it to finish, and it's not a fault in libusb.
Looks like
git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sdr is down, and the cgit
browser is out of date, so I can't tell what's been done since. But
the fix needs to be made in rtl-sdr, whether it's reverting the
patch as I suggested or correcting it to wait before shutting things
down.
