Comment 7 for bug 110666

Yesterday i installed Tor, Privoxy and Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.04.
But Vidalia cant run its own Tor process, but on vidalia faq page i find how "attach" vidalia to an existing tor process.
http://trac.vidalia-project.net/wiki/FAQ#ExistingTor
(when this trying, disable tor and vidalia)
open torrc (tor setting file)
$ sudo gedit /etc/tor/torrc
make new first line and insert:
ControlPort 9051
save.
Now start tor (as root) and than vidalia (not as root). After few seconds vidalia is reporting "Tor is running" and yellow onion is changed to green.
(dont forget start privoxy or what you use)
