cubicsdr on Linux doesn't see the RSP
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2019 1:16 pm
I'm trying to get my RSP1 working on Linux Mint 19.2. I followed the instructions on https://www.sdrplay.com/non-windows-workflow/. The API 2.13 installed with no errors. When building SoapySDR, it complains of not finding the Python libraries, but builds and installs anyway.
When I run SoapySDRUtil -info, it finds the modules and says that it includes sdrplay support. When I run SoapySDRUtil --probe=sdrplay (after blacklisting the msi modules, which the instructions neglect to tell me I need to do), it prints "libusb: error [udev_hotplug_event] ignoring udev action bind", but goes on to find my RSP1 and print all its parameters.
Despite the drivers apparently being installed OK, when I run cubicsdr (the appimage downloaded from sdrplay.com), it only lists PulseAudio and my RTL stick as input devices. (I did not build SoapySDR for the RTL, but it works anyway -- does cubic work with the RTL without Soapy support, or do I have a conflicting version of Soapy installed somewhere?)
I also tried the build of cubicsdr that's in the Mint repositories. It's the same version number as the one in the appimage, but it claims "No SoapySDR modules were found" and doesn't even list PulseAudio or the RTL stick.
