[BUG] Error installing certificate on Linux

[seidnerj]

This fails with the following error:

Error installing certificate:  No polkit authentication agent found.
Error occurred in handler for 'CERTIFICATE_SERVICE_INSTALL_CERTIFICATE_AUTOMATICALLY': Error: No polkit authentication agent found.
    at Object.throw (/tmp/.mount_ProxymPqXNXx/resources/app.asar/dist/main/webpack:/proxyman/src/main/services/certificate-service.ts:79:17)
    at Generator.throw (<anonymous>)
    at o (/tmp/.mount_ProxymPqXNXx/resources/app.asar/dist/main/webpack:/proxyman/src/main/services/certificate-service.ts:13:24)

Screenshot:

Log file: install_certificate_error.log

Also, when "Open Document" in the error dialog box one is referred to "https://docs.proxyman.io/proxyman-windows/install-certificate", i.e. instructions to manually install a certificate on Windows, rather than on Linux. Unfortunately I didn't find an equivalent version for Linux. I even tried guessing a url, i.e. "https://docs.proxyman.io/proxyman-linux/install-certificate" but this doesn't seem to exist.

Hi @seidnerj what Linux distro (and version) you're using?

Currently, Proxyman Linux works well with the Ubuntu (20 or 22). For others, it depends

[seidnerj]

@NghiaTranUIT, I am using Ubuntu 22 running on Azure and connecting via X11: Linux <HOSTNAME> 6.5.0-1016-azure #16~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 16 15:42:02 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It would be great if you could at least tell me how to generate/install a certificate manually on Linux in the meanwhile. I also couldn't find the "Auto Start Recording Traffic at Launch" feature in he UI, could I edit config.json manually and switch this off?

@seidnerj You can turn this off and the application will not record the traffic at launch. This is in the Preferences dialog, click Ctrl+, or go to Proxyman -> Preferences (at the top left) to open this dialog.

That's the the override for the proxy settings, not the start recording...

Having same issue. Is there any update on this one?

[NghiaTranUIT]

@runetech0 What Linux distro you're using?

I will add a Manual Tab to help you manually install the certificate your Linux Trust Store

[NghiaTranUIT]

@runetech0 can you install lxpolkit to your system?

I tested on Ubuntu 22 and it's already installed in the system. Not sure why you don't have it.

I'm using Ubuntu 24 with i3wm. I have already tried installing lxpolkit but no luck.
