Ubuntu - chirp should be installed in /usr/bin/chirpw.

Try running "chirpw" in a terminal - I use MATE and my terminal is
mate-terminal; other terminals work as well.

If you haven't rebooted, try that, if it is still not there, try
installing xfce4-appfinder that should now shop up in "Accessories" -
"Application Finder" - (on my system, CHIRP right below that menu
item) - chirp will show up if you start typing "chirp".
I've seen Debian based distros install CHIRP under "Network" and I
overlooked it several times.

Lastly add a launcher to the menu manually.
