<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I followed the below to the T, and now Chirp is in
accessories, using Ubuntu 20 something, but it does not launch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I enter on it but nothing happens, but the panels
of programs go away, like the enter on Chirp did something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Here's how to install flatpak.
$ just means your using the regular user terminal, </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">if you typed "sudo su" you'd
be at the root terminal which is #.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Download the latest CHIRP
flatpak from here:<BR><BR><A
href="https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/">https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/</A></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">As of this moment the current
version is <A
href="https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak">https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak</A><BR><BR>Rest
of the work is from the terminal.<BR><BR>First, install Flatpak:<BR><BR>$ sudo
apt install flatpak<BR><BR>The other howtos seem to have missed this next step.
You need to use<BR>flatpak to install the “freedesktop” platform. First update
flatpak<BR>and your paths.<BR><BR>$ flatpak update -v<BR><BR>This will give you
a warning about paths, something like:<BR><BR>Note that the
directories<BR><BR>'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'<BR>'/home/[username]/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'<BR><BR>are
not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment<BR>variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your<BR>desktop until the
session is restarted.<BR><BR>Since we now have to log out anyway, now might be a
good time to make<BR>sure you are in the dialout group.<BR><BR>Use the
groups command to list your active groups. If the group<BR>“dialout” does not
appear, add yourself to the group (replace<BR>[username] with your
username):<BR><BR>$ sudo usermod -aG dialout [username]<BR><BR>Now restart your
session (or computer) and return to the terminal.<BR><BR>~$ flatpak update
-v<BR>Looking for updates…<BR>Nothing to do.<BR><BR>Don’t worry about
installation directory warnings if you haven’t<BR>installed anything yet. Those
will be created later. Important is that<BR>we got rid of the path warning.
Moving on….<BR><BR>Now you need to get the Freedesktop repository
installed:<BR><BR>$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub<BR><A
href="https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo">https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo</A><BR><BR>and
then install the Freedesktop Platform:<BR><BR>$ flatpak install flathub
org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08<BR><BR>This might take a while its a big
(~0.5Gb) download. Grab some coffee<BR>and make some QSO’s….. Maybe check out my
club’s website:<BR><A href="http://w6ek.org">http://w6ek.org</A><BR><BR>Finally
we can install Chirp! (replace .flatpack filename with your<BR>downloaded
version)<BR><BR>$ flatpak install
Downloads/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak<BR><BR>You’re done! You can run chirp
from your applications menu or from the<BR>command like like this:<BR><BR>$
flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">My distro has a defective GIMP
application so I used flatpak to install the app from there, the only negative
is that I cannot type "gmp" from a terminal and have gimp run, I have to use teh
menu entry.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Try it - it's excellent and
it's the future of applications in Linux.</DIV>
