John subs at qcontinuum.plus.comCinead,
My apologies for this and thanks for your clarification. I have followed
thorough with the suggestions made by yourself and Marcus, including
installing the provided ruleset and checking the device power usage. I
have also tried another USB cable and another computer. However I did
miss the point you made about leaving off the '-t' in the detail of your
original response.
Also, I have been responding to the messages I received from the mailing
list thinking that I was responding to the mailing list, but it seems
that I have actually been responding directly to individuals. This was
unintentional and I apologise, but the e-mail 'From:' header on the
messages I have received from the list shows the e-mail address of the
individual who sent the message rather than the mailing list address
which seems rather unusual. It means I have to manually copy in the
'osmocom-sdr at lists.osmocom.org' address into the 'To:' header each time
I reply, as I have done in this case.
So this is what I get with just rtl_test:
$ rtl_test
Found 1 device(s):
0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001
Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM
usb_claim_interface error -5
Failed to open rtlsdr device #0.
Its the same whether I run it as user or with root privileges. I don't
see the dvb_usb_rtl28xxu kernel driver being loaded in the output of lsmod.
