I have a LimeSDR Mini. I am running Linux Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16.04) and Gnuradio Companion 3.7.10. I downloaded gr-limesdr on 18 Feb 2019, built it and installed it. In GRC I can create a flowgraph and receive data on the LimeSDR Mini device. But when I create a flow graph to transmit data GRC silently fails. I happen to look at dmesg and I see the following message:

[111.901764] python[2708]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffd07a79728 error 14 in python2.7[400000+2de000]

I am running Linux in Virtualbox, so that may have something to do with it. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Getting the exact same error when trying to transmit with gnuradio. I’m running kali natively though, so I guess it’s a problem with gr-limesdr

sdrangel transmission works fine however!
