Pat; 

I resist upgrading, just to say I have the latest and greatest.  I have no idea how big a hassle it is to run under Crouton.  20.04 has things I like, and don't like.  Its Linux, if I don't like it, I change it.  :-)  

Good to know, I may give 20.04 another try alongside 16.04. Assuming Chirp works for me on 20.04, I could delete 16.04 (I run Ubuntu on a Chrome book under crouton).

   I have versions 2.7 and 3.8 on my Ubuntu 20.04 systems.  Chirp works fine, it does find the correct version.  Not sure what the link is about that you posted, but its not required for Chirp.

I don't believe Ubuntu 20.04 automatically chooses the correct pythom version, otherwise this tutorial using the update-alternatives command would be superfluous.

The PPA you need to add to get CHIRP is NOT an Ubuntu repository, it is Dan Smith's repository:

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

And point it to xenial in your /etc/apt/sources.list file

The problem you will  run into is that CHIRP requires Python 2.7, and Ubuntuy 20.04 only comes with Python 3 by default.

You can download and install Python 2.7 in Ubuntu  20.04, but then you need to figure out how to switch between Python versions. 

Not an issue. Ubuntu will sort it automatically.

Hi

I'm trying to install Chirp on ubuntu 20.04. I've added the PPA and
updated my repos, but chirp is still unavailable.

I tried changing the repo from "focal main" to "bionic main" just to
see if it works, but that results in unresolvable dependencies.

It looks like no .deb file is available for AMD64.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chirp-daily/

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
