Issue: The chromium based browser within burp cannot load.
Explanation: Because the installation process utilizes superuser permissions in order to copy the newly written 'burpsuitepro' file into the bin directory, it will require the user to have to run burp as superuser every time. This will then introduce the issue, as burp cannot load the chromium browser under superuser permissions.
Fix:
Git clone the repo, and open the 'install.sh' with a text editor. Next remove the following lines:
sudo cp -r burpsuitepro /bin/burpsuitepro
sudo chmod +x burpsuitepro
Next save the script changes, and run the following command:
sudo chmod +x ./install.sh
Finally just execute the install.sh with NO SUDO PERMISSIONS
./install.sh
Note you should currently be in the cloned repo called 'Burpsuite-Professional'.
This will clone a new internal directory called 'Burpsuite-Professional', with all the files necessary. Once burp loads, and you activate it you can exit it.
Now you can just create a shortcut/launcher within linux pointing to the NEW 'Burpsuite-Professional' directory (the internal one) and call the 'burpsuitepro' file.
