[chirp_users] First time user (help)
Hello chirp folk My first time using chirpw - not yet totally working yet. The mission was to program a Baofeg Radio ---------------------------------------------------------- Platform is Linux (Mint - Ubuntu based) chirpw does install OK in /usr/bin It also runs from $HOME/bin if I put a copy there.
I check with "lsusb" to see that the USB device is seen OK, and all is well. 1. Firstly, I get a permissions refusal on attempting the communication. "An error has occurred [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyS0"
2. If I run chirpw from a terminal, I get message: (process:5560): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:09:24.416: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Gtk-Message: 10:09:24.418: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
I check to see libatk-bridge2.0-0 is present - and all is well Also libatk-bridge2.0-dev is there I do not understand why the module is not loaded. The messages seem to come from a process that is named like a LAN network address which keeps changing except for the first number "10". It might some GTK process -------------------------------------------------------------- Have I done something catastrophic? Maybe missed out something essential? Thanks if you can help My regards all

Hi Graham,
I use Linux Mint here as well.
You didn't say what version of CHIRP you installed. If you installed CHIRP using the Software Manager the CHIRP version that was installed would be over 3 years old. You must un-install this very old version of CHIRP completely.
The correct way to install CHIRP to run under Ubuntu (and derivatives like Mint) would be to add the CHIRP PPA and then install CHIRP as shown on the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" wiki page.
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux
To get serial port permissions you must add your user to the "dialout" group using the "Users and Groups" app or via command line as shown in the "serial port permissions" section of the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page (preferred) or running CHIRP as root using "sudo chirpw" in terminal.
Don't forget to log out and back in for the new group permissions to take effect.

For Jim KC9HI and others.. Many thanks all! This community is all I had hoped for. I have to back up and start again with a version not from the default repository. Sometimes the way to get a "newer" version is to use "backports", but I am happy with using the CHIRP PPA, and getting the latest version.
Thinking on it, given that at no stage did I do anything about adding user to the "dialout", group, the difficulty could likely have been about permissions.
I am temporarily away from the kit right now, but I have another try when I return. Thanks guys! Graham G4WNT
