Well I got it to work. It seems that my Debian was missing a file called debian.sources located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ After I made that file with the right stuff in it, the entire install string worked, and then I was able to do the whl file. Then I did sudo apt install chirp to get the desktop icons.

Hi Jeffrey, Sorry if I left that out, I meant to mention that it is Debian Trixie, which is the newest version. Oddly Chirp installed on the live Debian Trixie I made, but what I cannot install it on is, a non-live Debian, and if anyone would like an image to install on a USB drive, here's the link for my image, with Chirp on it: https://od.lk/f/N18yNzY1MDM0MTlf So I don't know why it installed on the same version of Debian, the only difference is that it installed on the live version. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffrey Vian To: K0LNY ??

It would appear that whatever repo you are pulling software from does not have that package (or you may be blocked from the proper repo), so you need to be specific before we can point you to the proper source repo to download it.

I followed the steps for ubuntu, and it seems the error you reported came from trying to do step 1 which worked for me. Maybe separate that command into 2 steps. sudo apt install pipx followed by sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 Jeff KI7GJG On Fri, Nov 28, 2025 at 6:42 PM K0LNY ?? <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Jeffery, Thanks, but that errored too: lenny@AspireDebian:~$ sudo apt install python3-wxgtk [sudo] password for lenny: Error: Unable to locate package python3-wxgtk ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffrey Vian To: CHIRP users list Cc: K0LNY ??

The first part of the Linux instructions gave me an error, and I wonder if anyone can let me know what went wrong.
