[chirp_users] New chirp-next build

Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is t

Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build

Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would install CHIRP, wouldn't it?CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in gigabytes.Ken, N2VIPOn Jan 3, 2023, at 06:23, Scott Lopez

Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build

Well for accessibility, that is for the visually impaired to use Chirp, they will need a Linux using Python 2X, and an old Chirp that will install into it. Personally, I've not ever gotten a package of Chirp to be able to install right from downloading a Linux package, I rely on using apt to get

Ken, Thank you for your response. Very nicely suggested. I will look into getting another machine or as some others have suggested, to install Linux or Ubuntu in a VM. I have to say you, and most people have given good and friendly advice and I thank all of you for this. Although I don't use Ch

You're discussing what some would call an edge case, hams that want to run CHIRP and have vision issues.For example, it's no clear Ubuntu would allow distributing an "Ubuntu + CHIRP + Screenreader" image, based on this restriction:You can redistribute Ubuntu, but only where there has been no modifi

I can also recommend the Raspberry Pi (when shortages abate) as a dedicated shack PC. HamPi https://sourceforge.net/projects/hampi/ release an SD image which has just about every conceivable Ubuntu amateur application bundled, including of course CHIRP. On Tue, 3 Jan 2023 at 16:41, Dean Berglund

Hey Glenn, I just tested running chirp directly from the git repository by installing the dependencies with "pip3 install -r requirements", then running "chirpwx.py" and orca was able to read everything to me. I'm not an expert on orca. I think the navigation worked, but it did seem to work fine.

Just FYI, on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, I found it faster to install wxPython from the wheel on the wxPython website than to let it be installed via requirements.txt. That also obviates the need for wxgtk4 package installation. Wheels are available for a number of Linux versions here: https://extra
