Richard,
I did a live boot with Ubuntu 20.04, apt installed flatpak, added the runtime and installed your flatpak file. Success! I had Chirp running on Ubuntu 20.04 in under 10 minutes! And I was able to download and upload to several of the older Baofeng 888 radios and a Radioddity GA-2S (same driver in chirp).
Some notes on your current flatpak: - Chirp needs network access for the online repeater database and to check for updates - Chirp complains (when launched from the console) that 2 drivers need python-future package
I did some more modifications to my flatpak file and here's what I found: - pygtk fails to compile with gnome Sdk version 3.36 but compiles on 3.26. gnome Sdk 3.30 is unsupported for some reason. - I'll look into how to get things working on a newer version - I have no idea where to find a "list" of available versions but did find the upstream repository on gitlab - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta - Removed all the pip related stuff - Added python-future - Nolan's repo has a lot of stuff mine is missing. - Like a desktop shortcut

Well thanks to the help and pointers here I was able to navigate the truly atrocious documentation for flatpaks and was able to create a bundle. I need a few brave souls to test:

I put the version in the name, so be careful, if I update it it, you could install more than one version. I still have yet to learn how you update flatpak packages.
I went through and did a "cleanup" of a lot of files we don't actually need. The original version was ~140MB...
It should be practical to get it listed on flathub. The archives are called "daily" but really it's whenever something significant has been committed and the date is the version.
Let me know if it works fine or needs some fixes.
Thanks, Richard KF5OIM _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Tony F at goldstar611@hotmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
