Hi. New user there, so I can't reply to the previous thread. I was able to get chirp running using flatpak, but some things seem funny, or might be helpful to others.
Sentence wrapping on the message for how to install/setup flatpack caused me some initial errors. Instructions here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/
However, it seems that even after doing the remote-add, I have no repositories.
$ flatpak remotes Name Options flathub system
I assume there should be something listed there. Or maybe that's all there is - it doesn't show the URL or anything else? A search for "chirp" returned no results.
So, I ended up just downloading the flatpak file from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/
And then installing it from my local storage flatpak install {download_path}/chirp-daily-20200909.flatpak
When I go to the flathub website and search for chirp, it returns no results. This matches of course not being able to install directly. A search for "gimp" does return results, on both the website and the flatpak command line.
Considering the discussion I've seen on the mailing list archives re. migration of chirp to Python3, and that I'm fed up with Ubuntu (multiple reasons), what distro would be a good one to consider for retaining full Python2 support for a while? Or is this a futile endeavour? (I'm currently pondering Arch, but might consider Gentoo.)
Thanks to previous posters for getting me back running. One less problem with Ubuntu for me to bang my head against. :)
