Pat;

No confusion at all.  You can easily run Chirp on Ubuntu 20.04 and then on Mint 20 when its released.  Just install Python 2.7, edit your sources list.  Everything is back up and running.  You actually should at least try 20.04, it has quite a few new changes.  Worth the  install.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here, and very complicated proposed solutions. The simplest solution is to revert your Ubuntu to any version that still include Pythons 2,7, which apparently anything  before 20.04  (I use 16.04 and have never felt compelled to get a newer version), then USE DAN SMTH'S repository and install according to his instructions. Here is a copy and paste from chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp//Downloads:

If you are using Ubuntu linux (or a compatible variant such as Mint) you should install and use the PPA like this:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily

Richard, why not install Python 2.7 and be done with it?  Edit your sources list and you will receive the updates like you did before.

I am. I'm building Python 2.7 from source within the flatpak sandbox environment. The problem is it's not finding the gtk python module even though it is getting built as well.

Thanks,

Richard
