I am running kubuntu 22.04.1 on a Framework laptop.
I have loaded the daily build from flatpak and Chirp comes up when opened.
My radio is a Baofeng UV-5RV2+
I followed the instructions in:
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo + A Clean Start + + If you want to get an empty CHIRP-compatible CSV file, the + easiest way is to let CHIRP create one for you. Here are the + approximate steps for creating an empty file, editing it in an + external editor and opening it back up in CHIRP: + + Start CHIRP + Go to File > New to create an empty CSV file + + Add a memory to the first row, by entering a frequency + such as 146.52 + + + Go to File > Export to save the template file to something + ending with a .csv extension + + Open the file in your spreadsheet or external application of + choice, make edits and save
+ Re-open the file in CHIRP to validate that the format is + still correct, by going to File > Open and choosing your file + + Optionally use File > Import to import the contents of your + CSV file into another radio image +
...
+ If you have a clone-mode radio, upload the changes back to your + device using Radio > Upload To Radio. If you are using a + live-mode radio, wait until all of the changes finish + synchronizing back to the device by watching the status bar in + the lower right corner of the main window.
So, when I plug in my radio, I see the following in /var/logsyslog:

In Chirp I select Radio and slide down to select "Upload to Radio".
I get a dialogue box saying:Port /dev/ttyS0, Bofeng, UV5R, I select OK. I get "An error has occurred Could configure port: (5, 'Input/output error')
So just in case, I fiddles with the /dev/ttyS0 permissions:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Oct 25 11:15 ttyS0
So what have I not done? What should I do?
