Thank you, did that, and used the ppa.

Regardless, sudo apt-get remove chirp-daily, but left the Python libraries.

Used wget to get today’s daily.

Under the Help menu, it displays CHIRP daily-20190321

I have enabled the developer functions.

I’ve tail -f /var/log/syslog to find any info. It shows what dmesg output when the cable was inserted.

Unsure what troubleshooting steps to try next, thx, sam kk4jzh

Yes, thx.

Ubuntu 14 xfce

chirpw -v returns version 4.0.0-RELEASE which has a date of 12/21/2013
That?s alarming, so I apt-get update and reinstalled chirp-daily
In terminal, it unpacks to 20190319-trusty over the one I installed from last week.

Is this the version number? If not, how to get the info needed?, sam kk4jzh

Sam,

Tell us what operating system you are using, and which version of CHIRP.

Also include your callsign with your signature.

That's the problem. You are running a very, very old version of CHIRP.
You must uninstall it and then install the latest daily build from the
snapshot repository as shown on the download page and the "Running
Under Linux" page.
