Hello,
I've used picolog 6 on raspberry pi for about 2 years now without issue, but it is seemingly impossible to install now.
On a Raspberry pi 4 with a new sd and a fresh installation of Raspberry Pi Os, I follow along with the steps in the "Starting with PicoLog 6 on Raspberry Pi" youtube video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZC5tubw-mM)
Selecting previously unselected package picolog:armhf.
(Reading database ... 125261 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack picolog-6.2.9-armhf.deb ...
Unpacking picolog:armhf (6.2.9) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of picolog:armhf:
picolog:armhf depends on libnotify4.
picolog:armhf depends on libnss3.
dpkg: error processing package picolog:armhf (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:
picolog:armhf
this is very strange as libnotify4 and libnss3 are already installed on the Pi, but nevertheless we persist and attempt to remedy with sudo apt-get -f install
This seems to fix the dependency issues, but picolog still wont run when the icon is clicked. Uninstalling the package and reinstalling it with dpkg like before also doesn't help, and when I try running picolog from the terminal I get the following:
/usr/bin/picolog: line 4: /usr/bin/picolog.bin: No such file or directory
I've now tried this on many different physical pi's, different sd cards, older release deb files etc etc and nothing is working.
I have found a solution to this problem.
Steps to solve:
- Run: `find / -iname "picolog.bin` # For me the picolog.bin file was found in /opt/PicoLog/picolog.bin
- Run: `sudo nano /usr/bin/picolog.bin` edit the file such that you fill in the correct location of the picolog.bin file.
For me the /usr/bin/picolog.bin file ended up looking like this:
I am experiencing exactly the same issue. I have managed to get to this last step and found the picolog.bin file in /opt/Picolog but I don't know how to edit it to fill in the correct location.
Could someone please help me with some guidance on how to complete this last step please.
