Chirp runs unexpectedly when USB thumb drive icon is clicked in Ubuntu Unity interface

 


Steps to reproduce the problem:

  • Vanilla Ubuntu 24.04.1 (with Unity interface), updated from the repository today (15-Jan-2025)

  • Chirp 20250110 installed from the whl file
    ** Execute these commands from a terminal:
    *** pipx install --system-site-packages chirp-20250110-py3-none-any.whl
    *** pipx ensurepath
    *** Verified that ~/.local/bin/chirp is present
    *** Verified that ~/.local/bin is in $PATH

  • Login as a normal unprivileged user

  • Insert a USB thumb drive

  • Wait for the USB thumb drive icon to appear on the left side of the screen

  • Click that icon, expecting a file manager to appear.

  • Unexpectedly, Chirp starts(!). The expected file manager never appears.

Andy,
?
Maybe someone here can help you, but be aware that this is a peer-to-peer help group and we're not officially connected to Danplanet.net or the official bug reporting site for CHIRP.?
?
We don't have many Linux users here. I run it occasionally but I haven't for a while.?
?
I know you probably will balk at this, but have you tried to run the new CHIRP under WINE or Crossover? I used to beta test for Crossover and for the programs I tested under it, they worked about the same as in their native Windows environment. Wine has come a long way, and now there's not a lot of difference between WINE and Crossover. Crossover shields one Windows program from another in separate "bottles," but WINE might be doing that nowadays, too.?
?
Anyway, you can wait to see if a Linux user here might be able to help you, but I'd poke around on the CHIRP site to see if there's another way to report your issue to the official bug report channel.?

Hi Andy.

I'm not exactly sure what is happening on your PC, but I run Ubuntu MATE 24.04.1 on this end.

I'd suggest checking to see which application?you have set to open the file-type for the USB drive's icon on your desktop. You should be able to right-click the icon and look at the?properties, or, the "Open with another application" setting in the drop-down menu. It should show that it is pointing to Nautilus, Caja or whichever file manager is default on your system. If it is NOT, then you can change it there and amke?sure to check the box telling the?OS to "Remember this application?for ...".

I hope this helps. I'm not?a guru with Linux, I've just been using it for a long time.
