Dear Linux audio people,
I have a Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen interface which I'm trying to use on a recent Samsung
laptop with Ubuntu 19.04.
The 3rd gen devices are apparently shipped in non-functional "MSD" mode,

The thread is about the 2nd Gen, but there is a comment on how to get the 3rd Gen. out of
the "MSD" mode:
FWIW, the manual says you can take it out of MSD mode without running FC:
"Initially, when in MSD mode, the interface will function at sample rates up to
48 kHz."
"In order to force your Scarlett 18i20 out of MSD mode without first registering
it,
hold down the 1-4 48V button while disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, and
then continue to hold the button down for a further five seconds."
Good luck,
best regards,
Peter
