Richard,

I did a live boot with Ubuntu 20.04, apt installed flatpak, added the runtime and installed your flatpak file. Success! 
I had Chirp running on Ubuntu 20.04 in under 10 minutes! 
And I was able to download and upload to several of the older Baofeng 888 radios and a Radioddity GA-2S (same driver in chirp).

 

Good deal!

 

 

Some notes on your current flatpak:
- Chirp needs network access for the online repeater database and to check for updates

 

Added, for the next version.

 

 

- Chirp complains (when launched from the console) that 2 drivers need python-future package

 

Ok, I'll add that with pip.

 

 

I did some more modifications to my flatpak file and here's what I found:
- pygtk fails to compile with gnome Sdk version 3.36 but compiles on 3.26. gnome Sdk 3.30 is unsupported for some reason.
  - I'll look into how to get things working on a newer version

 

I'm using 3.28 as the current target. I'm not sure I really need to be using the gnome sdk over the regular freedesktop sdk but I inherited that with the json file.

 

 

- Nolan's repo has a lot of stuff mine is missing.
  - Like a desktop shortcut

 

Mine should show a desktop shortcut. It worked with a local repo install.

 

Thanks,

Richard
