<p>Hi Glen - open a terminal,</p>
<p> cd /var/log <br></p>
<p> sudo tail -f messages<br></p>
<div>then try to launch chirp. The error messages should
appear in the terminal window. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>cut and paste the error messages into this message
and send it back to chirp mailing list in this message.<br></div>
<div><br></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

<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:small"><br></div>

flatpak from here:<br><br><a href="https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/</a></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:small">As of this moment the

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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">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>
