Re: chirp not open
Have you tried typing 'chirp' into the terminal? That'd be a good guess ...

If so maybe the hint at the bottom of the page is relevant

Re: chirp not open
chirpw
in the terminal to try and launch it from there and see what if any error messages pop up.Did you install from this PPA - https://launchpad.net/~dansmith/+archiv ... -snapshots
Bearing in mid its a daily snapshot PPA I guess there's no guarantee that a current build is buggy or not.
I was about to point you to their bugtracker - but I think you already know about it - https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/6175 -
Ignore the
coop-computing-tools
stuff - that's a different chirp.For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.

that what i got
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 60, in <module>
lc, encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 545, in getdefaultlocale
return _parse_localename(localename)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 477, in _parse_localename
raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: en_IL
The first installation I installed from a software center
When it did not work I removed the software
And reinstalled from the terminal so this is the PPA i use
Code: Select all
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
I installed the software in this way many times
I've never had this problem

Re: chirp not open
Try this
You might need to reboot before trying chirp again.
sudo locale-gen en_IL en_IL.UTF-8 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Re: chirp not open
another issue, can occur if you are using an Prolific USB to Serial Port converter,
as most of those have the cheaper chipset that will often not work correctly,
& you will need to be careful of which version that you are obtaining.
thus the CHIRP program cannot see that USB converter.

Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] - when your problem is solved!

But that is not the case
Here the software is not turned on at all
And that's a cable I've used many times on Ubuntu without any problems
I first need to solve the problem that the program is not running (turn on)

Re: chirp not open
Can you try setting your system language to another English version to see if that helps?

Re: chirp not open
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling languages and it did not help
This is all that appears in the language settings
Maybe something should be removed?
I installed the software on Linux Mint previously several times
And it always worked without problems
Or without special settings such as USB
strange

Re: chirp not open
Run
Navigate to and check
Once that's done test the output of
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
again.Navigate to and check
en_IL UTF-8
using the arrow keys and space bar. Tab to OK and press enter. On the next screen select en_IL UTF-8
and tab to OK and press enter. It should go back to the terminal and tell you it's configuring en_IL UTF-8
Once that's done test the output of
locale
again. It should hopefully all say en_IL UTF-8
. You might need to log in and out. Test chirpw....fingers crossed...i'm suggesting this by semi-educated guesswork... For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.
