Hi guys,

I have a pair of BF888, I wanted to do some changes in their config after a long time. I run into the problem that my old cable with PL2023TA is not compatible with w11, the chirp next does not open any window on ubuntu 22.04 if I click download from radio, and if I install here the old chirp version, that downloads crap (loads my saved files also with bad data). Chirp next loads the saved config files correctly.

I would like to focus on chirp next on u22.04 and make that work. If I run it from console, this is what I see, when I try to download from radio:

myuseronmylaptop:~$ chirp-snap.chirp

TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'

Do you have any hint what I should try?
