[chirp_users] chirp linux
Happy new year to all users and ther family.
I tried to install the new build on Ubuntu 12.04 and was unsuccessful. I downloaded this iso image and burned it to disk then tried to install via disk. no luck. Then I copied all files into a chirp dir and even tried to install from the Terminal. No Luck
Even follower the instructions on chip web site via terminal.
Guess i am half brain dead as every attempt was unsuccessful. Any pointers as to why?
Regards Chris

The ISO you're thinking of is a LiveCD, not a Linux installer. If burned properly, it is a full bootable copy of Linux separate from your regular system that you must boot your computer to.
CHIRP has always been native on Linux, and is especially easy on Ubuntu. Just follow the instructions on the download page to install the Development Builds PPA and the package:

Without any information about what you did or what happened, I can't offer any pointers. Please do this at a terminal per the instructions and reply with what you find:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
Why aren't these available for Debian or do I over look something?
Because this is a volunteer project and nobody has stepped forward to build and maintain debian packages :)
It's trivial to run directly from the source tarball on any linux flavor, and easy to do a /usr/local install as well.

OK Just curious.

I have it running and it works very well. Thanks for all your efforts and Happy New Year!
Great, I have done this several times. I keep getting daily '26. Once after downloading the actual daily build, I got '27 to install by using the Ubuntu software update too. Then, being cocking, I tried to get '29 through Ubuntu, reverts to '26 for me.
I will study the process when time available. Perhaps the pointer to latest version is not up to date?

You can see what the current available Ubuntu version is by:
apt-cache policy chirp-daily
I just checked and got:
chirp-daily: Installed: 20121226~precise~1 Candidate: 20121230~precise~1 Version table: 20121230~precise~1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages *** 20121226~precise~1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
After running apt-get upgrade, the 20121230 version was installed, so the process appears to be working.

Thanks for you time, Bob, but all I get for apt-cache policy chirp-daily is N: Unable to locate package chirp-daily.
I think I have things a bit confused here. I have been a Slackware user years ago but have not really learned to use Ubuntu.
About button on the top Chirp menu says version '26 and I thought that correct.
Thanks, again, I'll figure this out.
