What is it exactly that you need resolved? I suspect something about
LimeSDR but I would like to have a concise statement of the problem
before I start debugging.

to Gqrx SDR
on a straight install of ubuntu 16.04 LTS and only adding the ppa's for LimeSuite "
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers" works fine.
the problem is with a default install of 16.04 LTS and gqrx-sdr from this link "http://gqrx.dk/download/install-ubuntu" gqrx-sdr will fail to load the limesdr mini board
it seems the only way i have got gqrx-sdr to work correctly on default 16.04 LTS (with updates) is not to follow that guide at all
instead is to just get the "Gqrx-2.11.4-x86_64.AppImage" and use "other" and "driver=lime,soapy=0"
set sample rate to 10000000 and this works
if you try and install gqrx-sdr from default (not added repo) it will also not install a working gqrx with limesdr
something needs changed in the gqrx ubuntu install guide or something as it took a long time to figure out how to get it working
just figure i would give a heads up as to whats going on with ubuntu 16.04 LTS default and also i gave a little info on ubuntu 18.04 beta LTS

After you are done with the instructions there, the following

additional packages need to be installed for the LimeSDR mini:
soapysdr-module-lms7 (currently 18.04.1)
limesuite-udev (currently 18.04.1)
+ their dependencies
With these packages installed "soapy=0,driver=lime" in the device
string should work.

dependencies" and I'd rather not start putting device specific
instructions there. I will try to find a proper place to include the
info about the extra packages.
