Well sometimes you can go into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-ubuntu-chirp-snapshots-blahblahblah and change "focal" to "bionic", save the file and cross your fingers.
In this case apt-get update works but apt-get install fails because python2, libxml2, pygtk and pyserial are not installed. (Probably others but I stopped after digging) Long story short, python2 and all of the baggage was dropped in Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) and some things need to be compiled from source now. (I think) Bad news: I wasn't able to compile pygtk dependencies from source (Cairo and gobject) I may try apt-source tomorrow but expect more rabbit holes there too. If anyone gets Chirp on Ubuntu 20.04 I'd be interested in knowing how to do that :) Tony ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Pat Anderson <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 5:30:45 PM To: Discussion of CHIRP <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Install issues Sounds backwards. You install the repository first, then do an update, and then you do the install. Here are the commands you need to add the repository for CHIRP and install CHIRP in your Ubuntu system: If you are using Ubuntu linux (or a compatible variant such as Mint) you should install and use the PPA like this: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily After installing the build from the PPA, new updates will be included in your normal system software updates. Also see the Running on Linux<http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux#serial-port-permissions> page for additional steps required to gain access to your serial port.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Any suggestions how to overcome this? The manpage is not really very helpful.
