Hi,
I need to run Tor Browser as another user…
So here what I’m doing under, MX Linux ( Debian, SysVinit, xfce)
#as root, in a terminal under xfce
useradd --create-home --system --shell /usr/sbin/nologin TorUser
# btw --system or not ?
tar -xf tor-browser-linux...tar -C /opt --totals
chown -R TorUser:TorUser /opt/tor-browser
runuser -u TorUser -- /opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop
return
Launching ‘./Browser/start-tor-browser --detach’…
But nothing happen, and I don’t see any process for TorUser
any ideas ?
Posted on the offical Tor-browser in June, but no reactions so far… :/
Capital letters in user names. 🤮
Debian has torbrowser-launcher you might wanna take a look at that.
As for the issue, this could be because the user lacks credentials to connect to the display.
Allows multiple easy to remember users. You can have user, User, uSer, USeR, USER, uSER…
