CHIRP

This is expected (to some people).

You can resolve this a few ways

1) Download the windows version and use WINE.
2) Install flatpak, and then add the flatpak hub, then install the flatpak file from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/
3) Update your sources.list file to use Xenial (instead of Focal), then find and install the missing dependencies
4) Find all the dependencies sources to compile them and install them.

Regarding # 1, This may be the easiest but I personally don't like the way CHIRP looks in WINE. At least one mailing list member has said this works successfully. I also have verified that past versions do work under WINE.

Regarding # 2, I believe this is the best compromise. You install flatpak once, add the "hub" then install the flatpak file from the command line and you're done.

Here's the instructions for # 2:
Download the .flatpak file from the downloads page mentioned above

sudo apt install flatpak
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

If you don't have flatpak installed you should restart your computer. This will let the shortcut icons appear in your cinnamon menu.

Then, depending on the flatpak version, something like

flatpak install $/Downloads/chirp-daily-20200902.flatpak

Just do the last step over again whenever you download a new flatpak file.

Same issue with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Attempted above instructions to install from flatpak..... I downloaded chirp-daily-20200902.flatpak from the given site ---- installed with no errors but the Help, About says "CHIRP daily-20200807"

Something is not right???

You are correct. This was noticed by another member on the chirp_users email list a week or two ago. I'll send an email on the chirp_devel mailing list to get a little better exposure.

Hi Richard and Brandon,

Just following up, I checked the version in the latest flatpak install file which is currently chirp-daily-20200909.flatpak and verified that it does contain the version as listed in the filename.
