Hi,
I´m trying to get my FUNcube Dongle (V1.O NOT the Pro+) to work on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS but it doesn´t work.
On a rasberry pi4 (Raspbian 10) the dongle is working in gnuradio-companion together with the osmocom-source. So the hardware seems to work.
On Ubuntu I get following errors:
1. Gnuradio-companion as "osmocom Source" with device string "fcd=0":

Hi Dennis - type
apt list --installed | grep boost-all
and make sure it's installed.
But my first guess would be you're running the wrong version of gr-osmosdr for gnuradio 3.8.1.0.
I'm running gnuradio-3.8.2 and gr-osmosdr version 0.2.3 but I use github to update my software so I really don't know what the minimum version of gr-osmosdr is required for gnuradio-3.8.1.
Maybe someone on this list might know.
