Package: vidalia Version: 0.2.14-2 Severity: normal Since one of the recent Debian Wheezy updates vidalia is unable to start tor.
[Warning] Directory /var/run/tor does not exist. [Warning] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. (On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can conect to it, so Tor is being careful.) [Notice] Closing partially-constructed listener Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050 [Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports. [Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above. And after I did # mkdir /var/run/tor # chown root:debian-tor /var/run/tor # chmod 770 /var/run/tor [Warning] /var/run/tor is not owned by this user (username, 1000) but by root (0). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user?

[Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above. Modifying vidalia settings to use TCP connection instead of Unix domain socket did not help. This way tor process is starting, but it seems that vidalia is unable to communicate with it. $ getent passwd | grep debian-tor debian-tor:x:112:121::/var/lib/tor:/bin/bash $ getent group | grep debian-tor debian-tor:x:121:username --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.0.4-custom-1 Debian Release: wheezy/sid 500 testing ftp.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================================-+-===================== libc6 (>= 2.7) | 2.13-18 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | 1:4.6.1-4 libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.7.3-5 libqt4-xml (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.7.3-5 libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) | 4:4.7.3-5 libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) | 4:4.7.3-5 libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 4.6.1-4 debconf (>= 1.5.11) | 1.5.40 OR debconf-2.0 | ucf | 3.0025+nmu2 adduser | 3.113 tor (>= 0.2.2.29-beta-1) | 0.2.2.32-1 Package's Recommends field is empty.
