My name is Lars Herrnsdorf "LH4PI" , and I am a researcher for a X-ray micro sensor at a LH4PI lab.
We own a 2205A- MSO that I want to monitor the UART and current of our environment.
Have tried to install Picoscope 6 Beta linux version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS according to to your webpage download section . Succeeded once 29 December and was very happy . then trying the Picoscope 7 early access, didn't start and the I want to revert back to version but now I can not install version 6 anymore , only version is loaded !!. Maybe the version link is not anymore available . I hope that Pico find a solution soon .
That's all there really is to it. I hope to learn a lot on this forum!
With respect to PicoScope 7 on 18.04 another customer has reported
The only issue was an incorrectly installed folder "$HOME/.local/share/Pico Technology" which was owned by "root" meaning that the software failed at startup. On correcting this ownership, all was well.
I have tried to uninstall picoscope 7 and delete the entries for picoscope in the /etc/apt / sources.list.d once but it still keeps the version 7 . Maybe I d not have the correct syntax or spelling for how to uninstall .
Do i also need to uninstall the drivers like "
sudo apt-get remove picoscope libpl1000 libps2000 libps2000a libps3000 libps3000a libp
s4000 libps4000a libps5000 libps5000a libps6000 libusbdrdaq libpicoipp "?
Please give me the exact sudo command to uninstall picoscope 7 ., please
Martin, here is my copy of the terminal , It looks like something is n broken in the link

By the way , The first time I installed the Picoscope 6 beta all went well and i could use my 2205A MSO scope . All problems starts when I followed the Pico Tech. suggestion to try the version 7 and since that version didn't work (sadly, may be fixed soon) i tried to start version 6 again that hd worked without luck so far , I hope really You can find the source to this problem !!
Your exact info works directly as you have send them !
The Picoscope 6 beta is up running !!
I tried to attched a printscreen , i s that not possible anymore ?, it is in png format
Yes, this instruction helped me a lot too, now I have Picoscope 6 beta working perfectly too. Literally was running all the possible options of how to fix it in the past days while resting at my house in Larnaca and finally got on this forum and so a solution! Thanx!
