Re: Gnuradio 3.8 on a Raspberry pi 4 B?

[Glen Langston]

Hi

Thanks for your help.

I’ve written the image to an SDCARD and the PI4 boots to
the command line prompt.  The password is accepted and
I’ve looked around.

Gnuradio seems to be installed, but not the xwindow system.

How do you use gnuradio-companion etc?

I could not find “xstartup” or some such program.

Thanks

Glen
