deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/kamalmostafa/fldigi/ubuntu xenial main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kamalmostafa/fldigi/ubuntu xenial main
deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/gpredict-team/daily/ubuntu xenial main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gpredict-team/daily/ubuntu xenial main
deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu disco main

For me under Ubuntu it just works: make sure you are in the dialout group, and when you try to upload or download to the radio, you probably need to select /dev/ttyUSB0  (you can check this by unplugging your cable, then plugging it back in, and running dmesg to see what device got assigned).

I don't see where an error was posted. You'll need to make sure you have the correct com port, and that you elevate your permissions appropriately using sudo or change permissions to the com port.

My experience matches Nigel's.  I've used it on all of the major Linux distributions, a few of the lesser ones, and my own Linux system I built from source.  If Chirp doesn't work on Linux, then replace your cable, since it is the likely problem.

It just works, every time. At least with any flavour of Ubuntu that I've tried.

I once saw posted in a group or Facebook page, this quote. "In linux it just simply works."

I cannot disagree more.
