Hi,
I'm Nazmi, member of a Ham Radio Club and here we are trying to get started in SDR with GRC, a fellow member bought the USRP SDR Tx/Rx but we are having difficulties using it with GRC under linux (we also have limited knowledge on Linux systems (my Desktop has been under Debian Jessie for about a year, the others have Kubuntu on their laptops).
We are trying to get started working on GNU Radio Companion with the Ettus's USRP, we tried to install the drivers on a Kubuntu system with GRC installed, it did not work, eventually we found the working Ubuntu system (Live SDR) ISO published by GnuRadio, put on a usb thumb drive, it works with the USRP but it's so locked down, we can change the keyboard layout but because it's a Live Distro, we lose all the parameters at every reboot.
Do you have any ideas on how to use it with persistance/install it as a working system ?
Or should we try again to install the drivers and then GRC on a normal system (probably Kubuntu) ?
PS: I saw that there is already a topic on this forum about installing LiveSDR on a hard drive but I couldn't find enough answers in it (link: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/32345-gnuradio-live-install-to-hard-drive/ ).
