#30284: start fails with "Control port file not created" ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: belm0 | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: | needs_information Priority: High | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: tbb-8.5-must, TorBrowserTeam201905 | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: ------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
Comment (by sisbell): This problem occurs around the environmental variable ${user.home}. When this is set, we use it to tell tor where to place the DataDirectory. This is intended to be used for the desktop, as its an unsupported property on Android. If it is not set, then we pick a default location on the device that the user has access to. This is expected on an Android device. On KitKat devices the system property ${user.home} is set to system root "/". Since the user doesn't have permission to access the root directory, startup fails. On other Android platforms the ${user.home} property value is null and tor starts up correctly. I'll get in a fix for testing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30284#comment:24> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
