Run `tor-browser` as another user ?? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Gordon_F@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm still stuck...
I wanted to report to issue to gitlab.torproject.org, to be able to do so, I had to create a account at https://anonticket.torproject.org/user/gitlab-account/create/

few days, and my account is still in "pending" f*ck !

Did someone manage to run tor-browser as another user ?

I create also a "regular user" TorUser2
To see if it generate the same problems
This user have the .Xauthority file.\

# as root user
runuser -u TorUser2 -- /opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop

return Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach...'
and ps -u TorUser2 return nothing...

I've tried also

runuser -l TorUser2 -c '/opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop'

/usr/bin/env: './Browser/execdesktop': No such file or directory

I've try one guidance, but it didn't worked.

I quit the xfce, login as root, did

echo $XAUTHORITY
#returned nothing

XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.Xauthority.tmp
xauth -f $XAUTHORITY generate :0 . trusted

and after few minute it returned

xauth: (argv):1 unable to open display :0 😢

Thank you @mina86@lemmy.wtf I've look where point the $XAUTHORITY but it point to another user /home/<aUser>/.Xauthority and to give access to the file I have to change also the permission on the parent folders... not to hot to do so...

I see also the TorUser do not have a file .Xauthority ! I've look how generate one for it, but I found no good documentation ! They show how do it once logged with TorUser ! but mine is not meant to be used to login on the system..

Run tor-browser as another user ?? (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/41309316

Hi,

I need to run Tor Browser as another user..

So here what I'm doing under, MX Linux ( Debian, SysVinit, xfce)

#as root, in a terminal under xfce

useradd --create-home --system --shell /usr/sbin/nologin TorUser
# btw --system or not ?

tar -xf tor-browser-linux...tar -C /opt --totals
chown -R TorUser:TorUser /opt/tor-browser

runuser -u TorUser -- /opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop

return

Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach'...

But nothing happen, and I don't see any process for TorUser

any ideas ?

Posted on the offical Tor-browser in June, but no reactions so far... :/

Private videoconferencing ? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Thanks @online@programming.dev

But is it E2EE !?? I see no reference to it.

Private videoconferencing ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

  • video or voice-only call
  • share screen
  • files transfer (optional)
  • text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I'm considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ] (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Gordon_F@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml
2 comments fedilink
 

Hi,

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg

gpg --full-gen-key

and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\

gpg --version show:

...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...

Any idea what's wrong ?

How start quickly with GnuPG ? (lemmy.ml)

Hi,

I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign... documents.

I've downloaded the Manual, it's quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)

I've tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key..

So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc.. with or without GUI.

Thanks.

The contradiction of the TOR forum ( forum.torproject.org ) (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

I'm currently struggling to connect to TOR (see my previous posts)

Therefore I'm looking in the documentation and in the support community. (and been already greatly helped trough lemmy :) )

I was considering to use also the official TOR forum

But I'm surprised that for a project that claim to protect users anonymity and freedom of WWW to use a forum that

  • request an email address[^one]
  • That a moderator [^two] need to approve the account
  • that each new post need to be approved !

So I can't use it[^one] , hopefully their is Lemmy :D

[^one]: Do you know a lot of email service that do not require to provide a proof of ID ? (phone number, ISP email etc..) ? So hard to keep anonymous in those conditions..

.

[^two]: Moderation do not exist, it is simply censorship, see the work of Noam Chomsky
"If the freedom of expression is limited to the ideas that we like, it is not freedom of expression."

Hi,

I've just installed tor ( 0.4.5.16 )

When I launch it ( debian fork ) I'm stuck at

Opened Socks listener connection (ready) on 127.0.0.1:9050

I have a strong set of nftables maybe that what block it ?

What should open in order to have tor connect ?

Thanks.

Tor, config file, SocksPolicy [solved] (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Gordon_F@lemmy.ml to c/tor@lemmy.ml

Hi,
in etc/tor/torrc (the tor config file) we can read the following

## Entry policies to allow/deny SOCKS requests based on IP address.
## First entry that matches wins. If no SocksPolicy is set, we accept
## all (and only) requests that reach a SocksPort. Untrusted users who
## can access your SocksPort may be able to learn about the connections
## you make.
#SocksPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16
#SocksPolicy reject *\

I don't understand, is this for the TOR network to query the local daemon ? or is it for LAN node to use the local TOR daemon ?

Thanks
