Bug #8647
closed
Chirp not working with Mac OS Big Sur
Added by Rob Kuijpers almost 4 years ago.
Updated almost 3 years ago.
Model affected:
Baofeng UV-B5
I read the instructions above:
Description
Multiple problems:
- Chirp cannot access desktop files (see screenshot #1)
- Chirp does not download from radio (Baofeng UV-B6)
Setup worked before upgrading to Mac OS Big Sur, so I suspect this to be the problem.

Hi Rob, I'm not a Mac user, but the log suggests a number of things:
/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/mainapp.py:1593: GtkWarning: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory
This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.
d.run()
/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/platform.py:152: GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'inode-directory'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
The download issue may be caused by a bad cable, cable driver, or connector - check these things.
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- Model affected changed from (All models) to Baofeng UV-B5
- Platform changed from Windows to MacOS
Thanks for the swift replay!
After entering in terminal: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
I get following response : zsh: permission denied: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
Note: I had to change the path you suggested, as loaders.cache is located elsewhere.

any resolution? I have the same issue but with a BTech GMSR V1
*** Verified cable works ***
Got a new MacBook Pro with Big Sur... Tried to load CHIRP and got no love...
Tried launching the app from the command menu while located in my App folder.
Ran the following command prompt in Terminal: /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp
Results are below:
2021-08-25 19:24:39.521 CHIRP[7255:1077255] *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Rob:
Are you using the Mac Unified Application? If not, please try that. GTK failures tend to result from an incompatible mix of externally installed GTK libraries with Chirp's usage of GTK. The Unified Application incorporates the version of GTK that Chirp needs.
David:
This is a separate issue. It looks like you may have grabbed a build that was in the middle of some changes related to the removal of some XML support. Please try a later build of Chirp, and see if that resolves your issue.
