[Discuss-gnuradio] No pop-up xterm when executing flow graph

[HansFong]

Hello all,

First post here, unfortunately because GNU Radio gives me sorrow.

I'm running Kubuntu 19.04 and use GNU Radio from the repositories 
(3.7.13). I have also installed gr-satellites by hand. When I execute 
one of the gr-satellites flow graphs it should open an xterm instance to 
monitor output. Xterm is installed and I added the following lines to 
.gnuradio/grc.conf, but that didn't make any difference....

[grc]
xterm_executable = /usr/bin/xterm

I already contacted the author of gr-satellites, Daniel Estevez, but he 
says that the problem lies with gnuradio-companion, not the flow graphs.

Any hints or help appreciated. Cheers,

Hans

P.S. I did replicate this problem on two other systems as well, even on 
a fresh install.
