[chirp_users] Help with linux
I need some help!
I recently switched a laptop to Xubuntu. I've downloaded chirp and ran the command to update and to add the daily build. However, when I open Chirp under the linux OS, there are a bunch of radios that don't show up. For example, it doesn't list Radioddity as a manufacturer, the Wouxun KG-UV8D plus isn't available, nor is the TYT UV8000.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

sudo apt policy chirp
which chirpw

Hi Monte,
It sounds like you've accidentally installed CHIRP using you Linux distro's software manager. These usually contain a version of CHIRP that is over 5 years old.
Completely uninstall CHIRP and then install it using the the procedure appropriate for your distro according the the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page.
