I am a Linux newbie, and this is the first time I am using TOR in 12.04. I have an issue in running TOR for which I couldn't find any specific answer in the Internet.
So let me explain.
I downloaded TOR browser bundle (tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.38-1-dev-en-US.tar.gz) and saved to this location:
/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/
I then extracted
tar.gz
file into the same directory. So now I have/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US
In this directory, there is a file start-tor-browser
. The problem is that, when I double click this file, it opens in text format, instead of launching TOR Vidalia.
So I right-clicked this file > Permissions > checked Allow executing file as program, but again it automatically unchecks it.
I then thought of executing this file through the terminal, but nothing seems to work.
cd /media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$ start-tor-browser
start-tor-browser: command not found
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$ cd start-tor-browser
bash: cd: start-tor-browser: Not a directory
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$ sudo start-tor-browser
[sudo] password for jerry:
sudo: start-tor-browser: command not found
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$ gksu start-tor-browser
jerry@ubuntu:/media/50B8245BB82441B8/TOR/tor-browser_en-US$
As you can see, when I use gksu
, nothing really happens except an empty command line added with a blinking cursor.
Can someone please help?
