Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] buffer allocation failing with RuntimeError: bad_alloc

AFAIS, there are two parameters for shared memory: shmmax and shmall. The first sets the maximum size for a single segment, the latter the total available shared memory (in number of pages). You could try to increase shmall as well. Best, Bastian On 11/21/19 11:58 AM, Eamon Heaney wrote: >

Still gives the same error message, only with ">gr::vmcircbuf_mmap_tmpfile: mmap (1): Cannot allocate memory" instead of " >gr::vmcircbuf_mmap_shm_open: mmap (1): Cannot allocate memory." On Thu, Nov 21, 2019 at 1:36 PM Philip Balister wrote: > Look in > >

Yeah, I tried changing the maximum shared memory, but that didn't work. I mean, it didn't resolve the problem; I gave it 2147483648 but the error persists. I tried adding a zero to that, but that's an "Invalid Argument." On Thu, Nov 21, 2019 at 5:17 AM Ron Economos wrote: > You must be running

You must be running an older kernel that doesn't set kernel.shmmax to some large value. To check the current setting: sysctl kernel.shmmax To set it higher: sudo -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648 Ron On 11/21/19 01:59, Eamon Heaney wrote: I'm running the sample wifi_tx.grc flowchart from

I'm running the sample wifi_tx.grc flowchart from gr-ieee802.11, substituting a null sink for the USRP sink to test it. When I try to run it, it fails with the following error message: " >set_min_output_buffer on block 7 to 207744 >set_min_output_buffer on block 9 to 2077440
