I am new to Ubuntu and everything, so I dont know much of anything about the terminal.
I am trying to install and start Tor. I downloaded the 64bit version from here. Then I downloaded Vidalia from Ubuntu's software center.
I entered these lines of code:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf tor-browser-linux64-4.0.1_en-US.tar.xz
cd tor-browser-linux64-4.0.1_en-US
I was told to then enter:
chmod +x start_tor_browser.sh
But this is where I run into trouble. When I enter the line above, the output says:
chmod: cannot access ‘start_tor_browser.sh’: No such file or directory
Everything up to this point was working fine.
If I try to start Tor via Vidalia, it says Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified.
But I have checked and rechecked and the Tor files, and they are exactly where Vidalia has them listed in settings.
If I try to click start-tor-browser
(found in the folder named tor-browser_en-US) an error from archive manager pops up saying could not open "start-tor-browser" error opening file: no such file or directory.
I have tried to reinstall Tor, but it did not help.
cd ~/Downloads/tor-browser-linux64-4.0.1_en-US
thenls -la
. Then edit your question with the output of the command.
