I updated TAILS to version 1.1 when they released it around July 22nd. I just became aware that the TOR browser has also been updated to a newer version.
I downloaded the latest TOR browser, and have had no success in running it. Whenever I try to, it says TOR unexpectedly quit. Is it possible to run the latest version of TOR on this latest version of Tails?
I still see the Vidalia Onion icon in the top right, next to the security issues listed by TAILS. When I right click on Vidalia, and click on 'Message Log' it says "You are currently running Version 0.2.4.22 of the TOR software"
The latest update I downloaded is TBB 3.6.4, if I open up the ChangeLog text in the file, it says:
Tor Browser Bundle 3.6.4 -- Aug 8 2014 * All Platforms * Update Tor to 0.2.4.23 * Update Tor launcher to 0.2.5.6 * Update OpenSSL to 1.0.1i
Am I making a serious mistake somewhere? If I click on the start Tor Browser file in my latest download, it asks me to run it in terminal or just run it. So I click run, and it says Tor unexpectedly quit, and it keeps saying that if I keep clicking restart.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Not 100% on the exact command but it goes something like this, go into root terminal and input
apt-get update
then
apt-get update tor
it could also be
apt-get install tor
have persistent config set to save apt packages if you want the updated tor to be there next time to log on.
edit: fyi you cant run TBB on tails, TBB is a windows/osx program and you would in effect be running tor over tor.
