<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all – just a note from annoying experience –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are running the Grape image I have published that runs Gnuradio, you might find that
<b>it nags you to upgrade</b> to Ubuntu version 21.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This upgrade, which took about 6 hours,<u> <b>bricked</b></u> my R-Pi that was running my Grape/Gnuradio combo (Ubuntu based).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fortunately, I had foreseen the risk of this upgrade and took an image backup of the system prior to the upgrade. I was able to re-flash the SSD chip from the backup and get back to a runnable system again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the curious: why run Ubuntu on the R-Pi instead of Raspbian? I have found that a couple of the libraries you need to run Digital RF and/or Gnuradio are not available for Raspbian; that’s why I run Ubuntu on the R-Pi instead. Questions?
