Bug #8647
closedChirp not working with Mac OS Big Sur
0%
Description
Multiple problems:
- Chirp cannot access desktop files (see screenshot #1)
- Chirp does not download from radio (Baofeng UV-B6) Setup worked before upgrading to Mac OS Big Sur, so I suspect this to be the problem.

Hi Rob, I'm not a Mac user, but the log suggests a number of things:
/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/mainapp.py:1593: GtkWarning: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory This likely means that your installation is broken. Try running the command gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache to make things work again for the time being. d.run() /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/platform.py:152: GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'inode-directory'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
The download issue may be caused by a bad cable, cable driver, or connector - check these things.

Thanks for the swift replay!
After entering in terminal: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
I get following response : zsh: permission denied: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
Note: I had to change the path you suggested, as loaders.cache is located elsewhere.

*** Verified cable works ***
Got a new MacBook Pro with Big Sur... Tried to load CHIRP and got no love...
Tried launching the app from the command menu while located in my App folder.
Ran the following command prompt in Terminal: /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp
Results are below:
2021-08-25 19:24:39.521 CHIRP[7255:1077255] *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.

Rob:
Are you using the Mac Unified Application? If not, please try that. GTK failures tend to result from an incompatible mix of externally installed GTK libraries with Chirp's usage of GTK. The Unified Application incorporates the version of GTK that Chirp needs.
David:
This is a separate issue. It looks like you may have grabbed a build that was in the middle of some changes related to the removal of some XML support. Please try a later build of Chirp, and see if that resolves your issue.
