Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

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

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

I've been trying to get the py3 branch to work, but it seems to not be stable, as there are still many syntax errors. Once I got chirpwx running I tried to clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to clone: Failed to communicate with radio: can't concat str to bytes", but there's no stack trace or anyt

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

Worked fine once, until I lost 5GB of my 16GB to a hidden partition created by Crouton that I could never get back so I've now got an 11GB drive in my Chromebook. Of course the drive is soldered in so that I cant remove it and reformat on another machine. > On 15 June 2020 at 15:00 Pat Anderso

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

Crouton is not a hassle at all. In fact I installed 20.04 on a thumbdrive, and only decided not to keep it because of the Python 3 "issue" which may not be an issue at all. On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 11:56 AM wrote: > Pat; > > I resist upgrading, just to say I have the latest and greatest. I have

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

Pat; I resist upgrading, just to say I have the latest and greatest. I have no idea how big a hassle it is to run under Crouton.  20.04 has things I like, and don't like.  Its Linux, if I don't like it, I change it.  :-) On 6/15/20 12:45 PM, Pat Anderson wrote: Good to know, I may give 20.04

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

Good to know, I may give 20.04 another try alongside 16.04. Assuming Chirp works for me on 20.04, I could delete 16.04 (I run Ubuntu on a Chrome book under crouton). On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 8:48 AM wrote: > Pat; > >I have versions 2.7 and 3.8 on my Ubuntu 20.04 systems. Chirp works > fine,

Pat;    I have versions 2.7 and 3.8 on my Ubuntu 20.04 systems.  Chirp works fine, it does find the correct version.  Not sure what the link is about that you posted, but its not required for Chirp. On 6/14/20 6:00 PM, Pat Anderson wrote: I don't believe Ubuntu 20.04 automatically chooses th

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

I don't believe Ubuntu 20.04 automatically chooses the correct pythom version, otherwise this tutorial using the update-alternatives command would be superfluous. On Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 3:32 PM Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF wrote:

Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate

The PPA you need to add to get CHIRP is NOT an Ubuntu repository, it is Dan Smith's repository: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily The problem you will run into is that CHIRP requires Python 2.7, and Ubuntuy 20.04 only comes
