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

Have linux and python installed
Download python script from https://cat.eduroam.org/ at SOME_PATH
sudo chmod +x SOME_PATH/eduroam_script.py
Install dbus

sudo apt install build-essential libdbus-glib-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
pip install dbus-python

Run python SOME_PATH/eduroam_script.py and complete the steps.
Try to connect to eduroam signal. You should be prompted for your credentials again.
You are connected now.

For anyone using NixOS, this worked:

nix-shell -p python3 python312Packages.dbus-python --run 'python eduroam-linux-U-UPdC-General_Profile.py'

Not declarative, I know, but it works.
