[chirp_users] SOLVED UV-82, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, can't connect...

[David McGuire]

SOLVED!


>From the Ubuntu Forums it was suggested that I delete the current copy of CHIRP and then install the Daily Update.


This worked perfectly.  I hope this thread helps others out, too.


Thank you to everyone.


David

I followed these steps, too:


sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily

When I entered the third command line, I received this feedback:

Angus,


I have tried to get the USB to become active.


- I have updated to the latest CHIRP.

- I read near the bottom of the CHIRP installation page the instructions for activating the USB ports.

- I have the latest python.


Here is the output:

apt-cache policy python-serial
python-serial:
  Installed: 3.0.1-1
  Candidate: 3.0.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.1-1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Thank you for your help.


David

Please reply all when asking questions in the list

That looks correct as well but chirp had an issue with pySerial v3

http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/3167

So it looks like you need to update chirp
