Failed to install driver for Ubuntu

Post by lxl »

I failed to install the driver in Ubuntu

wget -O - https://labs.picotech.com/debian/dists/ ... se.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Prompt GPG: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I don't know how to solve this problem. The Ubuntu system page can download this file

Please help me

Can you try adding the no-check-certificate option

Code: Select all

wget --no-check-certificate -O - https://labs.picotech.com/debian/dists/picoscope/Release.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

After the above command is executed, the result is the same

Is there any other way?

Identify if it is the wget or the apt-key part of the command that is failing by running them independently.

It seems right for me to break down the steps. Please take a look for me

sudo apt-get update

There seems to be something wrong

because you have posted a picture I can't use google translate to try and understand the message, so not sure whether you just need to issue the command

sudo apt-get install picoscope

Your sources file looks as if it may be wrong, possibly the pipe commands are not working correctly on your system. I would manually edit

Code: Select all

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/picoscope.list
so that it only contains the line

Code: Select all

deb https://labs.picotech.com/debian/ picoscope main
then you should be able to run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
followed by

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install picoscope

Hello Martyn

I don't know how to use the demo you gave me,

Can you tell me under what environment this demo is compiled and used

I want to build the environment quickly

Is there a sample program for QT?

We don't have any QT based examples.

The code we provide can built from the command line on Linux using the standard gcc tools using the build files included with the examples. Alternatively just use the source code and add it to your own QT project.

Hi, Martyn. I still need your help

I have a lot of problems using the C examples you gave me on the Ubuntu system

I loaded the C file into QT, added the picostatus. H and ps3000aapi. H files, and then copied libps3000a. So, libps3000a. So. 2 and libps3000a. So. 2.0.0 to the project directory, but the compiler was still unable to find the library function of Pico

Is this your first time with QT or have you written, built and run other applications?
Are you using QT Creator and QT 5 as default? have you installed the build essentials?

You should not need to copy the libs to the project directory, they should be available from the installation directory.
