How to connect to eduroam signal using UPC setup
Raw
instructions-install-eduroam-upc.md

Why

Setting up an eduroam connection using UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) instructions was not easy to me. Particularly the dbus part fails silently.

This was tested on Linux Mint 21.1

Steps

  1. Have linux and python installed
  2. Download python script from https://cat.eduroam.org/ at SOME_PATH
  3. sudo chmod +x SOME_PATH/eduroam_script.py
  4. Install dbus
sudo apt install build-essential libdbus-glib-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
pip install dbus-python
  1. Run python SOME_PATH/eduroam_script.py and complete the steps.
  2. Try to connect to eduroam signal. You should be prompted for your credentials again.
  3. You are connected now.

I've had no issue connecting with stock fedora workstation 37 and 38 (well, with python installed), so not sure what's up with dbus quietly failing, I don't have the dbus-python package

@Slushee-a in my case I was using linux mint
