<p>After upgrading to new Ubuntu 20.04 and added the chirp repository, there is no way to install the package due to unsolved dependencies. I have attached the terminal session with error messages. Please help me to solve this matter. Thanks and rgds, Marco</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I also have updated my main system to Ubuntu 20.04 (doh!) and Chirp has disappeared and I cannot reinstall. So far 20.04 has not been such a seamless "upgrade". Any help getting Chirp back up and running is greatly appreciated.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I also tried manually adding the deb & deb-source lines to /etc/apt/sources.list<br>
This only in resulted in additional warnings about the ppa:danplanet/chirp-snapshots being listed multiple times.</p>

<ul></ul><p>CHIRP depends on python2 and several other python2 related packages. These have been removed from Ubuntu 20.04</p>
<p>As CHIRP is migrated to python3, you can try a flatpak that is in early development in the meantime.</p>
<p>From <a href="https://www.flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/">https://www.flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/</a></p>
<pre>
sudo apt install flatpak
</pre>
<p>If that doesnt work then try:</p>
<pre>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
</pre>
<p>Now that flatpak is installed, you'll need to set up the gnome plugin and the default repository</p>
<pre>
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
</pre>
<p>Now that flatpak is all set up try out this flatpak by Richard Shaw</p>
<pre>
curl -LO https://hobbes1069.fedorapeople.org/chirp-20200430.flatpak
flatpak uninstall chirp
flatpak install chirp-20200430.flatpak
</pre>
<p>If you already had flatpak installed, you'll immediately notice a CHIRP icon in your programs list.<br>
If you just installed flatpak, log out and log back in to see the new CHIRP icon in your programs list.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Hi Marco,</p>
<p>Would you be able to let us know which radio(s) you successfully used the flatpak with?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Works with QYT KT8900D ( flatpak on Ubuntu 20.04 )</p>
<p>Will test other radios when I connect them.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Yeah, for sure. I've successfully programmed the following radio (after the update to Ubuntu 20.04 of course):</p>
<p>Baofeng UV-3R +<br>
Baofeng UV-5R<br>
Baofeng UV-5R TP (equivalent to BF-F8HP)<br>
Baofeng GT-3TP<br>
Baofeng UV-9R PLUS<br>
Baofeng BF-888s</p>
<p>For any other question feel free to ask me, I'll be very pleased to answer you.<br>
Thank you so much for the help given. My best wishes for you and family, Marco.</p>

<ul></ul><p>If you clone the source code (<a href="http://d-rats.com/hg/chirp.hg">http://d-rats.com/hg/chirp.hg</a>) and switch to the py3 branch, you should soon™ be able to run chirpw in Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3 only. I just submitted a series of patches that should take care of most of the errors. Assuming the patches get accepted, let me know if it's working for you.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Hi Alex, sorry but I do not understand what to do. Please can you specify more "plain" for a "dummy" user?<br>
Thanks and regards, Marco</p>

<ul></ul><p>Hi Marco,<br>
My patches haven't made it into CHIRP anyway. So what you could do is clone from my git repo: <a href="https://github.com/atpage/chirp">https://github.com/atpage/chirp</a>. The commands to download and run it would be:</p>
<pre>
sudo apt install python3-serial
git clone https://github.com/atpage/chirp.git
cd chirp
./chirpw
</pre>
<p>Note that this is based on the CHIRP code from February 2020, so some newer updates will be missing. Let me know how it goes.</p>
