Nigel,
This was posted to this list:
The short version is, the at-spi bus is not available in the flatpak sandbox. I know there was an issue raised back in 2016, to try and get this resolved. The web url for this github issue is, https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/79. I really hope we can get something resolved with this technology, because I know more and more programs are using it, besides Chirp.
So until the at-spi bus is available in the flatpak sandbox it will not be accessible.
Is there a date on when CHIRP will be written in the latest version of a python so that it can again be available in the repositories and NOT conflict with the distributions newer python?
Best wishes, David

I know nothing about accessibility. Others have reported that other softwares in flatpak format are accessible so I suggest you build it from source. You will still need QT and python2.

Nigel,
Is CHIRP from the repository accessible?
CHIRP installed with Flatpak is inaccessible because Flatpak is inaccessible.
Certainly for blind users, an old version of CHIRP is much better than the inaccessible flatpak version.
However there is a source tarball here:
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220602.tar...
I'll help any blind person install the CHIRP source tar ball.
Nigel, that should be accessible, right?

Don't install Chirp from the repositories. It's too old.
Go to https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ and download and install the flatpak version. You might have to first "sudo apt install flatpak" if you don't already have it.

Hey everyone, I am new to this list, so first off hello. I am trying to get chirp running on my system. I am running Ubuntu 22.04, with all packages current. Chirp is installed via apt, as using snap or flat pack renders it inaccessible with Orca.
The problem, when I download from my Baofeng Uv5r, I get an error that says module ‘collections’ has no attribute callable. Is anyone running Chirp successfully on Ubuntu 22.04? I know that Python 2 is no longer supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance,
