[Yuriy Padlyak]

$ sudo /etc/init.d/tor start
Not starting tor daemon (Disabled in /etc/default/tor).

cat /etc/default/tor

How did you install Tor?

[Yuriy Padlyak (gneeot)]

2Runa: using aptitude long time ago, it was working correctly in ubuntu 10.04. I've purged and installed it again today, but no luck :(

What happens if you enable deb.torproject.org again (use natty for now, I don't think we have packages for oneiric already)? See https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en for more info.

[Yuriy Padlyak (gneeot)]

Just tried, but it didn't help. Still:

Preparing to replace tor 0.2.1.30-1build2 (using .../tor_0.2.2.33-1~natty+1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping tor daemon: not running (there is no /var/run/tor/tor.pid).

Not starting tor daemon (Disabled in /etc/default/tor).

[Runa A. Sandvik (runasand)]

And 'aptitude purge tor tor-geoipdb && aptitude remove tor tor-geoipdb && aptitude install tor tor-geoipdb' gives you the same result?

[Runa A. Sandvik (runasand)]

Do you have an /etc/default/tor.vidalia? If so, try editing the file so that it says not to start tor.

[Yuriy Padlyak (gneeot)]

$ cat /etc/default/tor.vidalia
if [ -x /usr/bin/vidalia ]; then
 RUN_DAEMON=no
fi

After I've changed RUN_DAEMON=no to RUN_DAEMON=yes , tor has started.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
