Package: riseup-vpn
Version: 0.24.10+ds1-1+deb13u1.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintener,
* What led up to the situation? I am using cinnamon, riseup-vpn start failed
with the following message : "could not find polkit agent".
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I launched riseup-vpn in a Cinnamon session
* What was the outcome of this action? it failed with the message "could not
find polkit agent".
* What outcome did you expect instead ? That riseup-vpn starts normally.
Patching pkg/launcher/launcher_linux.go and adding "cinnamon" to the
polkitProcNames array in the isPolkitRunning function solved the problem. I'm
attaching the patch to this report. Thanks !
