[chirp_users] oddities (failures) finding/installing on Ubuntu 20.04
Hi, I have a x86 20.04 system, I can't find the PPA even after doing apt-add-repository and similar steps. Roughly, I'd expect this to return something: $ apt search chirp
or this to work: $ apt install chirp-daily E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily
Are there known problems finding chirp-daily in the "focal" packages? Here's a sample to back it up.

Thanks, Ted
Ted,
I have a laptop with Windows 10 and a MacBook Air running the Catalina OS. I've downloaded the most currentI have a BaoFeng BF-F8HP. It is currently programmed with the Mississippi frequencies. I now live in Saint Gabriel, LA (just outside of Baton Rouge.) I am a SkyWarn Storm Spotter and Net Control Operator (KD5GMC - General Class). With Hurricane Laura bearing down on us, I need to get it up and running ASAP!
Thanks, Allen Roark (225) 955-3365

Ted;
You will have to do some manual editing to install Chirp on a 20.04 system.
I hope this helps,
You don't need to download Python 2.7 from the Python WEB page, or download the flatpak. Its in Focals,(20.04)Repositories.
These are all terminal commands, don't use the quotes.
"sudo apt install python2" will install 2.7
"ls -ls /usr/bin/python*" will list your versions of python installed. In my case 2.7 and 3.8
Add the Chirp repository:
"sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots"
Next Step from The Chirp WEB page:
"sudo apt-get install chirp-daily"
Returns an error.
"E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily"
In terminal, open your file manager as sudo. I use Xubuntu, so I use "Sudo thunar" Your command will match your desktop.
Using mousepad, or text editor, Edit, "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-ubuntu-chirp-snapshots-focal.list"
Change: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu focal main" to: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu bionic main"
"sudo apt update" "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily"
Another error: "The following packages have unmet dependencies" And a list of 4 of them.
All http: commands are in your favorite browser. All the other commands are at terminal.
Download the first missing file:
"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/python-libxslt1/download"
"cd Downloads"
"sudo dpkg -i python-libxslt1_1.1.29-5ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb" Another error: "sudo apt install -f" "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily"
Now we are down to 3 missing dependencies.
Download the first from here:
"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/python-gtk2/download"
"sudo dpkg -i python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb" "sudo apt install -f" "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily"
Down to 2 missing, getting closer.
Download the next one from here"
"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/python-serial/download" "sudo dpkg -i python-serial_3.4-2_all.deb"
There, now we are down to 1 missing:
Download from here:
"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/python-suds/download" "sudo dpkg -i python-suds_0.7~git20150727.94664dd-5_all.deb"
Another error:
"sudo apt install -f"
"sudo apt-get install chirp-daily"
It installed, chirpw returns an error; "python-future" is missing.
"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/python-future/download"
"sudo dpkg -i python-future_0.15.2-4ubuntu2_all.deb"
Another dependency error:
"sudo apt install -f"
"chirpw" its running.

Are you kidding? I've used Ubuntu since version 8, and often go to Ubuntu for certain tasks, because I am still a windows user, and I used DOS quite a bit back in the day, and still recall all the CLI commands of DOS. But I use Linux for chirp for screenreader reasons, Chirp is challenging in windows with a screenreader. But reading all this makes my head spin. Even if the Linux CLI was my strength, I can't imagine doing all that. I'd sooner install a live Linux that still uses the old repository for use with Chirp. But to each their own, JMO. BTW, Why aren't there scripts to do all that?

I'm still of the belief that it's easier to install flat pak and then install the chirp flatpak package vs a number of command line operations.
The flatpak files get published next to the Windows I stalled and Mac application. https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/

The issue is that Ubuntu generates a new repository every 6 months with each update. Most developers can't keep up with that and only keep up the LTS repositories.

Aha, I thought some manual magic might be required. I "gave up" and went the flatpak route instead like Tony said:
apt install -y flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak install chirp-daily-20200807.flatpak
It then starts fine with: flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
I'm still working through serial/USB issues but I know how to handle those, generally.

Don't you have to install flatpack software? My install doesn't know what a flatpack is.

Yes, that is taken care of in the first line of the install steps I gave:
apt install -y flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak install chirp-daily-20200807.flatpak
It might not be in FOCAL. I always look in XENIAL for Chirp updates.
