CHIRP on Kubuntu 22.04 fixed it

[Jim]

Today I found out what I did wrong.  First I installed via synaptic.  
Today I installed chirp legacy, which worked but doesn't get any 
updates.  Then I tried installing via flatpak and snap.  The versions I 
got both times didn't work.  Finally I went to the chirp site, followed 
the instructions there.  It works.

Lesson learned.  Never forget RTFM.
