Yea apt purge and run sudo ldconfig again

The libs are broken

Reboot should not be needed when the ldconfig is run

I give up. It shouldn't be this hard.

Especially on modern Intel CPU's.

Maybe a good idea to format and start again, then FIRST install OpenCL.

Looks like your Ubuntu 22.04 is a real mess. Maybe even upgraded to new version, what should NOT be done.

No

[magicint1337]

Run this

sudo apt remove intel-oneapi-runtime-opencl intel-basekit clinfo opencl-headers


Then this


sudo apt install intel-oneapi-runtime-opencl intel-basekit clinfo opencl-headers

And then this


sudo ldconfig

This is a mess.

I think I've spent enough time on this today.

Maybe the best option is to start again with a clean Linux build, then try adding OpenCL before installing PhantomSDR-Plus.

Do you wish to add anything to the existing instructions before I do this ?

e.g.

Ubuntu Prerequisites

apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config meson libfftw3-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libflac++-dev zlib1g-dev libzstd-dev libboost-all-dev libopus-dev libliquid-dev git psmisc


Restart your Terminal after you ran install.sh otherwise it wont work..

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Steven9101/PhantomSDR-Plus.git
cd PhantomSDR-Plus
chmod +x *.sh
sudo ./install.sh


Reboot

check for Cypress drivers

lsusb



Check for OpenCL


install intel-gpu-tools and run intel_gpu_top



Start


./start-rx888mk2.sh

[magicint1337]

apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config meson libfftw3-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libflac++-dev zlib1g-dev libzstd-dev libboost-all-dev libopus-dev libliquid-dev git psmisc libclfft-dev intel-oneapi-runtime-opencl intel-basekit clinfo opencl-headers

This should be fine for your system

[magicint1337]

But i went to your system when it ran without opencl and havent had any issues (it ran smoothly)

Did you try the apt remove and other commands i posted earlier?

[Martin G8JNJ]

Yeh, but I upgraded the PC specifically to extract the maximum from it, and that includes running OpenCL.

[Martin G8JNJ]

Yes but many files were not present or found.

I'll start again.

Ubuntu has the habit of breaking things:

root@Websdr:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Linuxmint
Description:    Linux Mint 21.3
Release:    21.3
Codename:    virginia

Base is the same but Mint protects things they are not sure about.

[Martin G8JNJ]

But I thought Linux was supposed to be great !

Looks like it's broken the PC hardware too, probably too many reboots :-)

I'll have to return the new PC for a replacement, as it will no longer power up.

Not a good day...

Thanks for everyone's help.

Regards,

Martin

Come on guy's make your mind up, I though Ubuntu 22.04 was the preferred OS.

I've now tasted Debian, Fedora, Mint, Puppy, Alpine, CentOS, Redhat, Pure and Ubuntu, and they all seem to inflect their own type of pain.

Martin
