[chirp_users] Another group besides dialout
by Rev. Fr. Robert Bower 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

I am running chirp-next the june 3rd version on ubuntu 22.04. I am a member of the dialout group. I cannot connect to my FT-65 unless I run chirp with sudo, so I have some type of permissions issue. Is there another group I need to add myself to? Thanks -- Robert W9RWB WRPH745

Removing the old package and installing the new one worked, but there should be a more "efficient" method... This worked: jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx list venvs are in /home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs apps are exposed on your $PATH at /home/jon/.local/bin package chirp 20230531, installed using Python 3.11.2 - chirp - chirpc jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx uninstall-all uninstalled chirp! ✨ 🌟 ✨ jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl installed package chirp 20230601, installed using Python 3.11.2 These apps are now globally available - chirp - chirpc done! ✨ 🌟 ✨ Any way to upgrade on a flagged system like Ubuntu 23.04 in the future without removing the old one first?

[chirp_users] Bug report
by Michael Schwabe 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

Hello, First, I'd like to thank the team that created and maintains this great program. Such a useful tool. I'd like to report an issue with the program where the row height in the memory display is not sticky when the font size is changed to large font. If the large font is set and the program is exited, when reopened the larger font is displayed in the narrow height, cutting off the bottom of the characters. Thanks. -- Best Regards, Michael

[chirp_users] Upgrading CHIRP on Ubuntu 23.04?
by Jon Gauthier 01 Jun '23

When trying to follow the upgrade instructions on the ChirpOnLinux page, there seems to be an error or some information missing. "Once chirp is properly installed, upgrades to newer versions are done with two simple steps: 1. Download the newer .tar.gz file. 2. Run pip install --upgrade ./chirp-<version>.whl (use pipx if you used it above)" Since I'm running Ubuntu 23.04, I used "pipx" to install the latest CHIRP. Today, a new version came out so I downloaded the latest .whl version and ran "pipx install --upgrade ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl" But pipx doesn't have a "--upgrade" option to the install verb. If I try pipx without the "--upgrade" option, it tells me: 'chirp' already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing installation in '/home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp'. Pass '--force' to force installation. Should I "install --force" it? "pipx reinstall" doesn't work, since the new version isn't installed yet. Should I remove the old package "chirp 20230531" first then install the new one using: "pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none- any.whl"? Jon Gauthier - KB1HTW
