Open source lxi-tools v2.0 released
WaveyDipole:
Yes, it seems you are correct, although that does not surprise me:
--- Code: ---$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20.3 (Una)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20.3"
VERSION_ID="20.3"
HOME_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.linuxmint.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://linuxmint-troubleshooting-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
VERSION_CODENAME=una
UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---$ cat /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Focal Fossa"
--- End code ---
So yes, it is using an older repo which perhaps explains why so many packages are so far out of date...
WaveyDipole:
Looks like it needed both:
--- Code: ---flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk
flatpak install org.gnome.Platform
--- End code ---
and selecting version 43 for each.
After running both installs, the build command finally worked. A bit of searching in the flatpak docsindicated that I could do:
--- Code: ---flatpak run io.github.lxi-tools
--- End code ---
and indeed, the GUI runs. I will test the the oscilloscope with it later.

On my system (Gnome/Fedora) I can also press the Win key, type "lxi" (and it will find the app from the installed applications and show the icon), press Enter and it runs.

I forgot that I had installed these in the past (the platform certainly for some other application). I will update my previous post to include this if someone else finds the post.
WaveyDipole:
Thanks for taking the trouble to update your post.
Unfortunately, having got this far, it seems that lxi-gui won't grab a screenshot from the MSO5074. The oscilloscope is correctly detected by the Search feature. However clicking Grab Screenshot returns Failure handling image format. The oscilloscope responds just fine to SCPI commands such as *IDN? and :SYSTem:VERSion? which shows there is communication over TCP/IP. Curiously, grabbing screenshots works fine when using the older 1.21 version of the command line tool so it seems a bit odd that the later version appears to have problem with the image format. On the other hand its no listed as a supported device on the Github so please let me know if there are any diagnostics I can do. I would be happy to provide any data you require to help get this scope added to the list of supported devices.
I also tested the DS1054Z with version 2.4. This both responded to SCPI commands as well as requests top grab a screenshot and returned images. Version 2.4 seems to work OK with the DS1054Z.
Is it possible to run the lxi CLI tool from within the flatpak? I was thinking to check whether it is possible to grab a screenshot with this newer version via the command line.
