I have recently decided to move my pm3 from my windows pc to my kali linux laptop. I have done all the steps as written on github (I hope) and when I open the pm3 client it either runs in offline mode or just waits for pm3 to appear.
The access rights step returned Ok, so I didn’t do it and lsusb does not change or show proxmark when I plug it in.
Did you log all the way out and then log all the way back in after doing the Make Access Rights step? If you run groups and see “dialout” I believe it should be good to go
The PM3 not showing up in lsusb is probably an issue too though
Yup, dialup is there, the proxmark did show up when i used sudo dmesg | grep -i usb as ttyASM0.
Came here to say exactly this.
Could be modemmanager (sudo apt-get purge modemmanager) [ Does Kali use apt-get? ]
Could be access rights. (sudo make accessrights )
Could be udev is confused out of it’s mind, so rebooting WITHOUT the pm3 plugged in then plugging it in, then starting pm3.
If that fails, try pm3 --list to see what ports it thinks are active. (and unplug those other things…)
Probably a rare use case, but personally if I have a ChameleonUltra, a FlipperZero AND the pm3 (rdv4) plugged in at the same time…stuff gets weird and confused in a hurry.
Ok, so the proxmark3 isn’t seeing the device. (maybe we have a flashing problem…)
Is the OS seeing the device and assigning it a TTY?
What does
sudo dmesg | grep -i usb
say?
Specifically we’re looking for any lines that say proxmark and any lines that say something like TTYACM[0123]… or any lines that say “cdc_acm”

I am thinking of just doing a clean reinstall, mabe I’ve made a mistake along the way. I’m kinda new to linux, how do I make sure I remove everything pm3 related so I can have a clean install?
I don’t think it’s the PM3 client’s fault at this point, the computer should at least be detecting the PM3
Have you tried a different USB port/cable?
Tried both usb ports and 2 cables, no change.
Dang
Well, we’re out of my depth for linux at this point, but tonight or tomorrow I’ll try on a Kali drive and see if I have to do anything special to get it to show up
