GNURadio and GQRX doesn't start properly

Briefly describe your issue below:
i am using the Parrot-security-4.1_amd64.iso image and boot it via PXE-boot from my PXE-Server project.
when i try to start GNU Radio or GQRX those applications won’t start.
on GNU Radio i got the very confusing message that PYTHONPATH is not set properly (see attachement).
GQRX gives a more helpfull message to the console…

i get GNU Radio and GQRX working, immediately after i create a symbolic link like followed:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3

so i think there is simply a missing link on the squashfs in the iso image.

is it possible to fix that behavior in the next release of Parrot?..

thanks.

BTW: it would be nice, if you could add the drivers for a PlutoSDR and gr-iio as well so i don’t have to compile everything each time i boot via PXE-server.

i have sam problem but when upgrade sys , will fix your error

yes, you are right,

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

now fixes that issue.
some times earlier i tried this as well, but there it doesn’t fix the issue.
i think it must be relative new that the fix is included.

anyhow, thank you for pointing to this.
and i hope in the next iso image release it is fixed.

Never do apt upgrade , it may broke your os.

really so what i use :face_with_raised_eyebrow::scream:

update (full-upgrade)
will fix the issue with gnuradio.
but gqrx still get an error about error on loading the library (libvolk.so.1.3)
