[chirp_users] Installing Chirp on a 20.04 system.

    I hope this helps, and doesn't confuse too much.  I have tested this procedure on several of my systems.  Hopefully I didn't skip something. You don't need to download Python 2.7 from the Python WEB page, or download the flatpak. Its in Focals,(20.04)Repositories. These are all terminal com

Ah, thanks! I didn't think to hunt for the dev list. I honestly don't mean to come as "ungrateful" or just "snotty". I realize some key dependencies weren't available in python3 and it seems to be the solution was to rewrite the UI, which isn't a trivial task. I can also only imagine how much byte

Chirp is one of the main reasons I use Linux, so I'll stick with the latest Linux that installs and updates like before. So if Chirp does not go to Py3, I'll probably be using Ubuntu 18.4 for the next 10 years. Glenn - Original Message - From: James Keener To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent

Hey Jim, Dan was kind enough to also publish .flatpak file with each new release until we get over the hump of python2 and gtk2. You'll find the .flatpak file next to the Windows installer, Mac runtime and the source tarball. As far as helping with the py3 branch, it would be best to join the c

The further out of sync things become with what is "supported", the greater the chance of security issues arising and the greater the chance that things will become harder and harder to get working. At what point will we go from "install it from the python website" to "you need to grab the old sou

That didn't work for me on 20.04. I can try it again later -- perhaps I messed something up. That said, I am still interested in helping to get Chirp working with Python 3. Jim On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at 2:57 PM Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF wrote: > You need to execute the following in a terminal >

I _think_ 19.10 has 2.7 installable (and installed by default), but I don't have a machine running that right now. 18.04 is the last LTS release with support. It's what I run on my other laptop. Jim On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at 2:55 PM Glenn K0LNY wrote: > Is Ubuntu 16.4 the latest that works well

Nothing has fallen into disaray. If YOU install Py2, available from the python.org website, and the 4 dependencies it needs, all will work. The proceedure for that has been published in detail both here and on the Chirp Facebook group several times. > On 27 July 2020 at 14:35 James Keener wro

There doesn't appear to be a repository for Ubuntu 20.04 yet. This is because chirp hasn't yet released a stable python 3 version and python 2 is now EOL as has been planned for many years. On July 27, 2020 2:35:17 PM EDT, Robert Lucas wrote: >I keep on getting this message Unable to locate
