Title: TOR Update ISSUE
Post by: PerPETualMOtion on May 15, 2013, 12:56 pm
Updated TOR in Linux (32 bit) per TOR instructions: unzip and go.

I still get the flashing exclamation, as well as a start page that says there are important security updates....

Is anyone else having this problem?

No, the update worked fine for me. Are you sure that you unzipped it to the same folder where you had the older version? I always just delete the old version completely and then unzip the new one into the folder where the old one was.

Thank you!!! That worked for me.

Cool!

Now if anybody has any idea why my "Start-Tor Browser" script won't execute although I have done the chmod +x thing on it, I'm all ears.  I use tails on a USB and that's great, but sometimes, just for reading or browsing, I'll use tor from my regular OS. I have a Windows machine and a machine that runs Xubuntu Raring Ringtail. Come to think of it, this problem didn't start until I upgraded my Linux version, so I'm pretty sure they're related. Just not sure how to fix it without having to downgrade.
