I want to run the application "gnuradio-companion". I can do this without problems by executing sudo gnuradio-companion. But I do not want to run this with sudo. If I try to run without sudo I get the following. Can you help please?
lenovo@Lenovo-ThinkPad-T440:~$ gnuradio-companion

This error indicates that gnuradio-companion can't find options.block.yml for some reasons.
First make sure that you do have this file in /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/ directory and then check what blocks paths are configured in your user's gnuradio config
$ grep -R blocks_path $HOME/.gnuradio $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/
If you have global_blocks_path variable set but it does not contains the directory where the options.block.yml file is then you can add it or comment out (remove) global_blocks_path
In case that you don't have some custom configs you can try removing the $HOME/.gnuradio and $HOME/.grc_gnuradio directories as well.
