Kinda … normal, thats because your software source is restricted to — i forget, but your going to need change it to a wider source.
this is one way to add the sources —
I thought you had already done this part
https://launchpad.net/~gqrx/+archive/ubuntu/gqrx-sdr/
Its the same for the others …
So I should go into Synaptic and remove all of the Lime/gqrx stuff?
well … not sure, i cant remember if synaptic will remove ALL that was used to install Lime / qgrx …
you just want to remove LimeSuite gqrx but not all the packages that were used to install it.
Thats why i use sudo apt-get remove LimeSuite
sudo apt-get remove SoapySDR
sudo apt-get remove gqrx-sdr
becuase you can see what its GOING to remove before its done … and abort if theres something listed to be removed that your not sure of or dont want removed …
Done
Wife just got home … gota go for a bit, ill check later on how you came along and got stuck at … or finished.
Here is what I have:

Build SoapySDR first … humm … good to know
Ha!!! found Gnuplot, that took me an hour trying to find the right version that LimeSuite wanted to see …
I lost my place. I guess I need to build SoapySDR first?
LimeSuite is looking for SoapySDR lib, so id say that LimeSuite depends on SoapySDR being built.
Something didn’t go right

It didn’t work
I’ll pull this out of the box in a week. Thanks

It should be:
yea … didint follow the steps …
mkdir
cd (change directory) build
cmake …/
I’m going by cut and paste. I have no idea what I am doing. I have enough knowledge to be dangerous. I see there is a new PothosSDR for windows. My linux box is now so screwed up I can’t use my HackRF. My windows 7 box is where I will try the latest release. I’m really loosing hope that my LimeSDR works. I see all the examples people post of their unit and how nice the display is, I can’t get mine to run. Is it too late to ask for a refund?
Larry in El Paso
I installed the latest PosthosSDR on Windows 7 and Limesuite sees nothing.
Larry in El Paso
A suggestion to help you, I think you should start your own thread. Easier for you to follow and others to help. That way there’s a linear progression. Keep it methodical. Just a suggestion. From what I’ve read it sounds like you’re on the software learning curve part of the equation. If you have windows and are used to it then stick with that for now. Don’t throw linux into the mix just yet.
That sounds like a good idea, thanks. I need to move some coax connections first and I have the LimeSDR in the acrylic case.
Larry in El Paso
Larry,
I’ve given up on that acrylic case. All the real geniuses here @9a4db and others are having great results with Aluminum cases. I’ve just ordered this : https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TJ49K4U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. See his waveforms versus mine at My Lime seems completely deaf
Another ham locally has no case and he just bought 50 of the jumpers. I have confirmed the USB port works. My Ubuntu is unstable so I am going ahead with Windows 7 and the bottom of the case.
