[chirp_users] Error encountered
I have "chirp daily" installed on my Linux Mint 18 laptop. Recently, I attempted to connect to my HT and the program did not start. So, I tried at the command line, and encountered this:
alexm@alexm-Surface-Pro ~ $ sudo chirpw Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 20, in <module> from chirp import chirp_common ImportError: No module named 'chirp'
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Alex
Hi Alex,
Does running "sudo apt install chirp" succeed or fail?
If it fails it would be good to know the results of "apt-cache show chirp" to ensure the install location is from the launchpad daily repository.

You don't want to "sudo apt install chirp". You will get a very old 2016 version of CHIRP installed.
What you want is "sudo apt install chirp-daily" to get the latest daily build version (assuming you have previously added the ppa per the instructions on the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page).
If you accidentally install the old version of CHIRP from the Ubuntu repository, I believe it must be fully removed before the daily build will install properly.

Saved by Jim, that is an excellent catch.
I really did mean chirp-daily for those two apt commands.
