[chirp_users] oddities (failures) finding/installing on Ubuntu 20.04

[Ted Timmons]

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.
