I keep seeing references to this program but how I should use it is not at all obvious to me. I've tried asking it for help and even asked it for help with certain commands but none of it makes sense to me. I am not Linux literate by any stretch so please tell me step by step what to do.

Once flatpak is installed, download the .flatpak from the chirp site ( https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/) and then:
sudo flatpak install ./chirp-daily-2022XXXX.flatpak flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
If you want to update to a newer version, just download that daily and run the install command with that new file.
It's not my preferred system, fwiw, but it seems to work.

I found this in my history. Not sure why this wouldn't be set up by default, but in case it isn't, I'm tossing it here for reference.

Yeah, I am still using old Chirp on old Ubuntu, because I don't get it either.

Same with me...Ubuntu is 18.04, Bionic - runs solid as a rock under crouton on my Asus Chromebook CA536EA. Flatpak has never worked for me.

Glenn, thanks for your help again with the Orca and chirp issue. Question for you. Who should I file a bug with concerning Orca not reading when I tab past the memories tab, once I get an image downloaded or opened. Jim went through the file I sent him, and all settings look as they should. Very confused. Thinking of trying this on an older version of Ubuntu, since I still have 21.10 installed on my mac air. Just curious if I have same results. Have a great night, and an awesome weekend.

John,
Here's how to install flatpak. $ just means your using the regular user terminal, if you typed "sudo su" you'd be at the root terminal which is #.
Download the latest CHIRP flatpak from here:
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ As of this moment the current version is https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220515.fla...
Rest of the work is from the terminal.
First, install Flatpak:
$ sudo apt install flatpak
The other howtos seem to have missed this next step. You need to use flatpak to install the “freedesktop” platform. First update flatpak and your paths.
$ flatpak update -v
This will give you a warning about paths, something like:
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/[username]/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.
Since we now have to log out anyway, now might be a good time to make sure you are in the dialout group.
Use the groups command to list your active groups. If the group “dialout” does not appear, add yourself to the group (replace [username] with your username):
$ sudo usermod -aG dialout [username]
Now restart your session (or computer) and return to the terminal.
~$ flatpak update -v Looking for updates… Nothing to do.
Don’t worry about installation directory warnings if you haven’t installed anything yet. Those will be created later. Important is that we got rid of the path warning. Moving on….
Now you need to get the Freedesktop repository installed:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
and then install the Freedesktop Platform:
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08
This might take a while its a big (~0.5Gb) download. Grab some coffee and make some QSO’s….. Maybe check out my club’s website: http://w6ek.org
Finally we can install Chirp! (replace .flatpack filename with your downloaded version)
$ flatpak install Downloads/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak
You’re done! You can run chirp from your applications menu or from the command like like this:
$ flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
My distro has a defective GIMP application so I used flatpak to install the app from there, the only negative is that I cannot type "gmp" from a terminal and have gimp run, I have to use teh menu entry.
Try it - it's excellent and it's the future of applications in Linux.
73 DR
Hi All, I followed the below to the T, and now Chirp is in accessories, using Ubuntu 20 something, but it does not launch. I enter on it but nothing happens, but the panels of programs go away, like the enter on Chirp did something. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, it's /var/log/messages - the entire file may be large - the system is constantly writing to it.
Wait until you boot it up again?
Since you're running a VM, you need to independently confirm the serial ports are working correctly and that you're using the correct port.
Doing it my way you don't have to know what you're looking for the file - the error messages will be in your face as soon as you start chirp.

Hi All, I followed the below to the T, and now Chirp is in accessories, using Ubuntu 20 something, but it does not launch.

John,
Here's how to install flatpak. $ just means your using the regular user terminal, if you typed "sudo su" you'd be at the root terminal which is #.
Download the latest CHIRP flatpak from here:
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ As of this moment the current version is https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220515.fla...
Rest of the work is from the terminal.
First, install Flatpak:
$ sudo apt install flatpak
The other howtos seem to have missed this next step. You need to use flatpak to install the “freedesktop” platform. First update flatpak and your paths.
$ flatpak update -v
This will give you a warning about paths, something like:
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/[username]/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.
Since we now have to log out anyway, now might be a good time to make sure you are in the dialout group.
Use the groups command to list your active groups. If the group “dialout” does not appear, add yourself to the group (replace [username] with your username):
$ sudo usermod -aG dialout [username]
Now restart your session (or computer) and return to the terminal.
~$ flatpak update -v Looking for updates… Nothing to do.
Don’t worry about installation directory warnings if you haven’t installed anything yet. Those will be created later. Important is that we got rid of the path warning. Moving on….
Now you need to get the Freedesktop repository installed:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
and then install the Freedesktop Platform:
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08
This might take a while its a big (~0.5Gb) download. Grab some coffee and make some QSO’s….. Maybe check out my club’s website: http://w6ek.org
Finally we can install Chirp! (replace .flatpack filename with your downloaded version)
$ flatpak install Downloads/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak
You’re done! You can run chirp from your applications menu or from the command like like this:
$ flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
My distro has a defective GIMP application so I used flatpak to install the app from there, the only negative is that I cannot type "gmp" from a terminal and have gimp run, I have to use teh menu entry.
Try it - it's excellent and it's the future of applications in Linux.

A new version of CHIRP was released today, so update with flatpak.
As root (or under sudo):

Does CHIRP run if you issue this command as regular user in a terminal:
flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
Clicking on Help then About should give you this version: CHIRP daily-20220531

Hi Cinead, I did that, and after running that command, it came back with an error like no tail. When I tried to run Chirp, it read something like gtk error A few lines about gtk, but I could not copy it. My screenreader could not review it. For DJ's suggestion: Does CHIRP run if you issue this command as regular user in a terminal: flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp Seemed like it did, but it only read Chirp As Superuser and it seemed like the window for chirp was there, or an error window for chirp, but it did not function.

I don't believe it is. The short version is, the at-spi bus is not available in the flatpak sandbox. I know there was an issue raised back in 2016, to try and get this resolved. The web url for this github issue is, https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/79. I really hope we can get something resolved with this technology, because I know more and more programs are using it, besides Chirp. On to work I go, but 73 and have a great day.

I sent a message to the Orca list asking about Flatpak, and got this response:
I can say for sure it isn't flatpak, I'm running cawbird on Slint, installed using flatpak, and it's working fine.

Hi Glen - open a terminal,
cd /var/log
sudo tail -f messages
then try to launch chirp. The error messages should appear in the terminal window.
cut and paste the error messages into this message and send it back to chirp mailing list in this message.

Hi All, I followed the below to the T, and now Chirp is in accessories, using Ubuntu 20 something, but it does not launch. I enter on it but nothing happens, but the panels of programs go away, like the enter on Chirp did something. Any ideas? Thanks.

John,
Here's how to install flatpak. $ just means your using the regular user terminal, if you typed "sudo su" you'd be at the root terminal which is #.
Download the latest CHIRP flatpak from here:
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ As of this moment the current version is https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220515.fla...
Rest of the work is from the terminal.
First, install Flatpak:
$ sudo apt install flatpak
The other howtos seem to have missed this next step. You need to use flatpak to install the “freedesktop” platform. First update flatpak and your paths.
$ flatpak update -v
This will give you a warning about paths, something like:
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/[username]/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.
Since we now have to log out anyway, now might be a good time to make sure you are in the dialout group.
Use the groups command to list your active groups. If the group “dialout” does not appear, add yourself to the group (replace [username] with your username):
$ sudo usermod -aG dialout [username]
Now restart your session (or computer) and return to the terminal.
~$ flatpak update -v Looking for updates… Nothing to do.
Don’t worry about installation directory warnings if you haven’t installed anything yet. Those will be created later. Important is that we got rid of the path warning. Moving on….
Now you need to get the Freedesktop repository installed:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
and then install the Freedesktop Platform:
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08
This might take a while its a big (~0.5Gb) download. Grab some coffee and make some QSO’s….. Maybe check out my club’s website: http://w6ek.org
Finally we can install Chirp! (replace .flatpack filename with your downloaded version)
$ flatpak install Downloads/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak
You’re done! You can run chirp from your applications menu or from the command like like this:
$ flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp
My distro has a defective GIMP application so I used flatpak to install the app from there, the only negative is that I cannot type "gmp" from a terminal and have gimp run, I have to use teh menu entry.
Try it - it's excellent and it's the future of applications in Linux.

Hi Glenn - you're missing qt - or possibly Ubuntu graphics in general.
You need qt to run chirp.
After you boot to Ubuntu does it start graphical user interface which which requires a login?
When you say "Chirp is in accessories" which machine are logged into? That is in the accessories on which machine?

I just looked on the Chirp website, Wiki, and FAQ and only the download page gives a hit that Linux users should use the Flatpak method. Beyond that.. no details are shared.
Could someone who has access to the web page take what D.J.J wrote down below and add it to a "Linux Flatpak" FAQ entry? It might need some additional items listed under a dependency section like the native OS needs to have X version of Qt runtime libraries installed, etc.

I have qt5 and qtatspi installed.
qt5 (a multi-platform C++ graphical user interface toolkit) qtatspi [Installed]: qtatspi (Qt AT-SPI2 bridge.) QT Accessibility Bridge to SPI2. At-Spi2 is a protocol over DBus, toolkit widgets use it to provide their content to screen readers such as Orca.
I am using Slint Slackware 14 with orca 41.1 running and CHIRP is inaccessible to blind users as ORCA doesn't read the screen.
I highly recommend SLINT which is International (supports lots of languages and is highly accessible with multiple console screen readers and text applications already installed and more are available. https://slint.fr/wiki/doku.php?id=:en:start
