[chirp_users] Problems under Ubuntu 11.10?
Hello All,
My first post here, so I hope I'm in the right place! I'm Dave M0MYA, a radio amateur from the UK. My main interests are operating homebrew and /P.
I'm trying to get Chirp going under Ubuntu 11.10 in order to program my Baofeng UV-3R. I'm a reasonably experienced linux user of a few years now, so I'm not afraid to tinker, but I can't seem to get chirp going. Here is the saga:
Trying to add the repository results in:
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.FpswDtepWR --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv 98C351B8647854C236B28C4A1DE1969099B3CC86 gpg: requesting key 99B3CC86 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key 99B3CC86: "Launchpad PPA for Steve Conklin" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1
So I tried the tarball. All extracted and tried running from a console. It fires up, but only gives me a blank window. It can be closed from the window bar, with nothing spat out on the console. Ending it by entering Ctl-C at the console results in the following output:
dave@major-tom:~/Desktop/chirp-0.1.12$ ./chirpw CHIRP 0.1.12 on Linux - Ubuntu 11.10 ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 69, in <module> gtk.main() KeyboardInterrupt
The only clue I have is that the package python-gtk does not appear to be installed, nor does Ubuntu know much about it (the other python modules listed on the Chirp wiki are present and correct):
dave@major-tom:~/Desktop/chirp-0.1.12$ sudo apt-get install python-gtk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package python-gtk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'python-gtk' has no installation candidate
So - my guess here is the the shiny new Ubuntu does not make python-gtk available in the repositories. Something to do with Gnome 3 perhaps? I don't know - this is where I draw a blank! Any assistance much appreciated.

Try python-gtk2. I.e.: apt-get install python-gtk2
