Re: Gnuradio 3.8 on a Raspberry pi 4 B?

Hi Glen - try typing

   apt list --installed | grep xorg

to check if it's installed.

It could be a /boot/boot.ini thing.

I had odroid running debian 8  where I had to install X11 by hand.

I enclosed a tar file with a script for install X11 which should work
well enough to get you going.
