Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Invalid Argument/Failed to Allocate Buffer

Editing that file did not work, but I was able to write a quick script that ran that last line and then ran GNURadio.

Thanks!

Paul, I read that as lack of available shared memory. I'm curious what result you get if you run the following at the command line:

sysctl kernel.shmmax 

Not sure how you installed gnu radio, but if you used Marcus's build_gnuradio script then the following changes should have been made in /etc/sysctl.conf:

  # Updates for Gnu Radio  net.core.rmem_max = 1000000  net.core.wmem_max = 1000000  kernel.shmmax = 2147483648  

These would be considered good starting values for general GNUradio with a USRP work.

You can experiment at the command line to see if it solves your issue with:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648

I am trying to play back my recorded data and I get the following:

3 instances of vmcircbuf_sysv_shm: shmget(1): Invalid argument

allocate_buffer: failed to allocate buffer size of 25784 KB

Those four lines are repeated, then

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_aloc

My flow is a file source to a throttle to a frequency xlating fir filter to a wx gui fft sink. Sample rate is 50M.

Any ideas?
