Tor doens't start anymore

Post by mickey0 » 2022/01/03 09:43:21

Hello,

Tor was working fine until I dragged it on my panel, on the bottom, next to the firefox icon.
Before I used to launch it by ~/tor-browser_en-US] # ./start-tor-browser.desktop without any problems
Launching ./start-tor-browser.desktop --log output.txt, I have this output:

Code: Select all

cat output 
./firefox.real: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by ./TorBrowser/Tor/libstdc++/libstdc++.so.6)
Can anyone explain why it was working the night before (I didn't update anything) and also how I can fix it?

Thanks a million.

Since version 10, the tor-browser binaries no longer work with CentOS 7, because they now require a more recent version of glibc. It seems you finally got an automatic update, the rest is just coincidence.

The only way to continue using the tor browser with CentOS 7 I'm aware of is running it via flatpak:

Probably not the best idea, but you can also reinstall the pre version 10 from here https://archive.torproject.org/tor-pack ... ser/9.5.4/ I'd also delete the update-settings.ini to prevent updates.
