How to debug:

• Are you running from DVD, USB, SD card? Also:
  • Please try another Tails medium on the same computer.
  • Please try the same Tails medium on another computer.

• What is the output of: cat /lib/live/mount/medium/live/Tails.module

• In Tor Browser’s about:config, make sure that extensions.torbutton.display_circuit is set to true.

* Does this fix it?

sudo systemctl stop tor-controlport-filter
sudo sed -i 's/9052/9051/' /etc/tor/torrc
echo "CookieAuthentication 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/tor/torrc
sudo systemctl restart tor@default

And restart Tor Browser.

* If not:

sudo sed -i 's/9051/9052/' /etc/tor/torrc
sudo systemctl restart tor@default
/usr/local/lib/tor-controlport-filter --debug > tor-controlport-filter.log

And restart Tor Browser, verify that the circuit view doesn’t work again, Ctrl+C in the terminal to kill tor-controlport-filter, and attach tor-controlport-filter.log to this ticket.

From USB - not possible right now to test on SD card I’m afraid.

It is set to true.

Nope.

I attach the tor-controlport-filter.log, not much on it, but on the console, while running `/usr/local/lib/tor-controlport-filter —debug > tor-controlport-filter.log` I got this:

Tor control port filter started, listening on localhost:9051

I didn’t used bridges that time… but I have to configure an HTTPS proxy to connect to the Internet.

I can try without it later.

I haven’t tested 2.10 and 2.11 with this. I will do.

Incidentaly, I haven’t found this problem in Tails 3.0beta[1,2,3].
