Python throwing an SSL error with an app (_ssl.c:1006)

linuxares · December 25, 2023, 2:20pm

Hi!

I try to get an app working that use SSL.
It isn’t a major thing, but it’s just more an annoyance since I should have everything working.

Here is the error code it gives me:
urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)>

But I should have all the required Python installed:
https://0x0.st/Hgdo.txt

I double checked so my ca-certificates was installed and up to date and it was. It’s just this Python application that doesn’t work for me. Is it some symlink I need? I googled and only found for MacOS so I got confused and once again ask this nice community for help!

EDIT: Here is some updates

>>> import certifi
>>> print(certifi.where())
/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem

cacert.pem -> /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

So it do point towards the correct place.

What is the application and what URL is it trying to access?

The software is called “Pixelflasher” and the url it try to fetch from is https://codeload.github.com/TheFreeman193/PIFS/zip/refs/heads/main

If you check line 2421 here you will see the url.

github.com

import shutil
import signal
import sqlite3 as sl
import subprocess
import sys
import random
import tarfile

Here is all the steps it does when you press a button to download PIFS in PixelFlasher:

Traceback (most recent call last):

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)>

EDIT: Of course when I build Pixelflasher myself it works instead of the prebuild.

Doing an update. It seems I spoke to soon. It didn’t work after a clean test.

How are you installing it?

linuxares · December 26, 2023, 11:02pm

I just download the precompiled version from his Github. It’s originally made for Ubuntu 22.04.

Try the AUR package. It will include all the dependencies you need and then your AUR helper will keep it updated.

I think I have to do that. He pushed out a new release for me and another person using Garuda and it works now.
