The regression is an oversight in the refactoring of the recent file handling. It results in the CHIRP application being completely unusable, crashing every time immediately after startup and there is no easy workaround available. [ Test Plan ] On an installation of noble: * sudo apt install chirp * chirpw * Observe failure with the back-trace present in the original description below * Enable proposed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed) * sudo apt install -t noble-proposed chirp * chirpw * Observe application starts successfully The fix has already been tested manually by others, but as soon as a version with the patch present is available, a user should install the updated chirp package and the program should launch without any crashes. [ Regression Potential ] Very low. The application already fails to start "out of the box" and hence can't regress much further, and there's only a single reverse-recommends (from hamradio-rigcontrol) on the package. The fix is directly from upstream, already present in Ubuntu Oracular, and minimal, adding one line of code with an if conditional to remove the "state" section only if it exists, thus fixing the "No section: 'state'" error. [ Where problems could occur ] The only change is in the one line of code that handles "cleaning of higher-order entries if they exist" and was previously attempting to remove them even if they did not exist, resulting in a fatal error. [ Other Info ] It has been fixed as a part of the new CHIRP version from the Debian package 20240413-1 which has been synced to Oracular. Here is the upstream commit that needs to be added as a patch to the Noble SRU: https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp/commit/0885555196b94ffad44acc7ca9b37a1ba67b815e [ Original Bug Description ] Chirp (1:20240224-1) on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS crashes on startup with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('chirp==20240224', 'console_scripts', 'chirpw')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/__init__.py", line 178, in chirpmain mainwindow = main.ChirpMain(None, title='CHIRP') ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 415, in __init__ self.SetMenuBar(self.make_menubar()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 656, in make_menubar self.adj_menu_open_recent(None) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 1025, in adj_menu_open_recent CONF.remove_option('recent%i' % i, 'state') File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/config.py", line 160, in remove_option self._config.remove_option(section, key) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/chirp/wxui/config.py", line 64, in remove_option self.__config.remove_option(section, key) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/configparser.py", line 924, in remove_option raise NoSectionError(section) from None configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'state' This is fixed in the latest version from Oracular (1:20240413-1).
