Bug #8381
Time synchronization displays error with proxy plus bridge
0%
Description
In Tails 1.2 and 1.2.1, when I do:
- Start Tails without network.
- Set the date to “Sat, Jan 1 2000 00:00:00”.
- Configure Tor to go through an HTTP proxy and a bridge.
Then I get an error message as soon as Tor tries to connect: “Tor failed to establish a Tor network connection. Establishing an encrypted directory connection failed (done).”
Still, Tor continues to connect in the background and end up connecting fine and I get the “Tor is ready” notification.

Just dumping what I had on our Tails 1.2.1 testing session pad:
We may have to live with this. Tor Launcher isn’t designed to have Tor stall during bootstrap due to certificate lifetime issues. The best we may be able to do is to kill Tor Launcher (to hide the error) in 20-tordate, right after “if clock_is_way(); then”.

Should this be rejected, then?

The problem is real, anonym suggested a workaround, and there’s always the option to adapt Tor Launcher to our needs => no, IMO this should be left open. If we decide we are unlikely to fix it ourselves any time soon, then Low priority would be more appropriate.
