Re: GNU Radio 3.7 on Ubuntu 20.04

[Martin Luelf]

Hi,

I just updated my Kubuntu today without thinking about GNURadio (and due 
to my OOT not being ported to 3.8 yet I am still stuck on 3.7). I still 
have python2 running like a charm. But I could not get the QT bindings 
running, since my KDE is using QT5 and trying to install Qt4 looks like 
it is going to skrew up my entire system.

So GNURadio 3.7 itself is running fine on 20.4, but gnuradio-companion 
and gr-qtgui seem to be tricky (at least when running KDE).

Yours
Martin
