I get it, you ran it as a normal user as Kali but that's probably not how Kali was designed to be used either. > discover srashed when you enable automatic Firmware update and for that > operation it needs root to acces the firmware spec so That's not true, firmware updating in Discover is using fwupd which does not elevate to full root access - it uses polkit to authenticate the user. I'm not sure why you reopened this issue, the crash log attached is unusuable to us (there's nothing specific to Discover at all in the logs) and more than likely caused by a lower layer like a broken crypto library shipped by Kali. If you can provide a better backtrace, which is replicatable on something like a Debian system - which you say Kali is based on - but until then I marked it as NEEDSINFO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
