Just a reminder: Please bottom-post when replying on this list. I'm sorry to hear that Tor is giving you such trouble. Maybe there is some helpful information in one of the files in /var/log? Perhaps dmesg has some useful output? As a last resort, another way you might be able to debug the problem is by attempting to manually launch Tor and watch what happens. For example, something like this ought to mimic the way it starts: sudo -u tor /path/to/tor -f /path/to/torrc You'll need to replace /path/to/tor with the path to the Tor executable, and you'll need to replace the /path/to/torrc with the path to a file containing valid Tor configuration. I think if you make a torrc file that contains the following, it should work (I have not tested this): User tor DataDirectory /var/lib/tor PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid Log notice syslog For details on the config file syntax, see "man tor". =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlzSgsEACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp0VkA//e2TBmdP2R5Op0aqD2M9nfleOczJzing96yvcGdX5aDK3Px2A6/J50QrO KyoMCLNKamDgAu6oy2qywo//CkLa0NL2/ToqGGdCAdsSKu1AkOYKglDY5k3uhtYf gPedPATwdwOEDrG6Wwfi6e60LG3I8jM/XJ+h7vULF9WKG2nk0mJ53GhDrZII2KE/ tmdPIkJvrKGh2RsZ/7/XxGfJotuliXyp1QZcLBO71ZZf07UusKf+988MbPUB2qXL ZwyvbZFTonB2vFv93kjG+svY8nbX7lorDfDVbABEEoPYZzfiIsepvOxgNDU8m2VZ gfEbCeKtb6WLRUOSfpLCqpoTjLkfJQP7SU7XtL1JiVhs84aZhYkyXM4/99H3gS61 8/TF97hZXDE+60Q3T3QFz+AixuBOdw+DuqE77XnjmBwi0MmbrtoyR2uZCaU6aXC3 zixC62UzmxlUn4Sq5a9hEEpSdWO4dB0vRvbI5ug33eZ/7cRcHUrX/Xg91Cz+FHqW mQwrUzxOTEXiG77atJ3TGjjBcWhLwPZ1PPHBlJhHmcQ4mU0lAxvaE2iSYTMpk//F Ai7TsjZpw8OMcA2yZNBxoc4Vle5FVMzpWW7Eq6ZlZBUZFnONS0sbrmjU3YVldoDs WKyx3gYQXnXyURhPcQmO94Cw1JXcSI/PHzUdUE151dwhO/p93R4= =nUDM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
