Running AppImages on Fedora 35

Post by benpac »

I am having a 5444B and recently upgraded Fedora 34 -> 35.
For the upgrade I had to uninstall packages related to pico. PicoScope 6 worked with F34

I have started picolog-6.1.18-x86_64.AppImage as well as a freshly downloaded picolog-6.2.1-x86_64.AppImage.
In both cases I see a blank program form with caption PicoLog which disappears after less than a second.

When trying to install libpicoipp

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install libpicoipp
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libiomp5.so()(64bit) needed by libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r121.x86_64
  - nothing provides libiomp5.so(VERSION)(64bit) needed by libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r121.x86_64
Is it a specific Fedora 35 problem?

Will there be a PicoScope AppImage too?

I'm not sure if this will help but I had a similar error message concerning libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r121.x86_64 regarding libiomp5.so, when I was installing picoscope on F35. I worked round it by manually installing libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r29.x86_64.rpm an older one. The ones after this are missing libiomp5.so.
Maybe this will help you.

I gave picotech (6.14.54-4r6108) in the repository a new chance today, but failed again, libiomp5.so being missing.
I have followed the recent comment of A.P. (thanks !) trying to install an older version:

sudo dnf install libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r29.x86_64.rpm
Can not load RPM file: libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r29.x86_64.rpm.

sudo dnf install libpicoipp-1.3.0-4r29.x86_64
worked neither.

By the way:
Although the 5444B not being a logger, I have run picolog-6.2.2-x86_64.AppImage and this works with the Scope :D , the earlier versions picolog-6.2.1-x86_64.AppImage and picolog-6.1.18-x86_64.AppImage did not.
Basically it works with an Appimage under F35, hope that there will be an Picotech Appimage too soon !

I also had trouble installing picoscope on my F35 box due to incompatible version of mono. However I managed to get it working for my 2204A with picomono using the following steps.

sudo curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/picoscope.repo https://labs.picotech.com/rpm/picoscope.repo
sudo rpmkeys --import https://labs.picotech.com/rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.key
sudo dnf install libpicoipp
sudo dnf install libps2000
sudo dnf install libps2000a
sudo dnf install picomono
dnf download picoscope
sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps picoscope-6.14.61-4r6219.noarch.rpm

Finally start picoscope using the following, this can be put into a script if required.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/picomono/lib:/opt/picoscope/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export TERM=xterm
/opt/picomono/bin/mono /opt/picoscope/lib/PicoScope.GTK.exe

If I have gone about this in the wrong way then please let me know.

@Flinus: Many thanks for your comprehensive description !

In the meantime I have installed PicoScope 7 T&M Early Access Version 7.0.94.10729 (driver version PS5000A Linux Driver, 2.1.83.3073) for my PicoScope 5444B on Fedora 35
and thinks works for me, not having tested all features.

Installation as described for openSUSE 15.1
