Tor is installed but I cannot execute it / Kali linux

[iago]

Hello,
I have installed Tor, however like so often in Linux, I cannot start the application.

dpkg-query -L tor

gives me:

Ok thanks for this, however using torbrowser-launcher I got the Browser error:

"The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting." Why is this?

 

[arochester]

Which release of Kali Linux have you got?

Are you automatically Root, or can you choose? What happens if you input to a Terminal: torbrowser-launcher

What does your command line look like? Does it have an $ sign or a # sign?

Then the application stops, commandline sing is "#".

 

[arochester]

What happens if you input: exit
after the #?

 

[iago]

What happens if you input: exit
after the #?

It kills the terminal

 

[arochester]

Strange, this says 2020.1 is Non-Root by default https://www.kali.org/releases/kali-linux-2020-1-release/

The sign $ is for a normal, Non-Root, user and the sign # is for a Root.

 

[arochester]

Have you logged in as Root and not a normal user?

 

[iago]

Have you logged in as Root and not a normal user?

Yes, I understand. I'm logged in as root on my Kali on the VM, but I also intalled Kali Linux on a stick, which should be better anyway. There I'm logged in as a normal user.

 

[iago]

O.k. if I my add this question, I installed TOR now on my Kali stick (Kali 2020 / normal user) it works fine, however the next time I start the system, TOR is gone, why is this?

 

[arochester]

As I have said several times there are 3 ways of putting a distro on a USB stick.
Normal. This is like a LiveCD. EVERYTHING you install will be LOST when you reboot
Persistence. This is like having a Home on the stick. SOME stuff can be saved BUT NOT ALL.
Full Install. EVERYTHING will be SAVED when you reboot.

I think you have a normal install and anything you install will be lost when you reboot.

 

[iago]

I think you have a normal install and anything you install will be lost when you reboot.

Thanks a lot man!!

I have a persistance partition now. When I click on that partition it says: "Cannot eject drive in use: Device /dev/sdb1 is mounted
I don't want to eject the partition at all, just write some data in it!? (I think at least that the partition is there for writing data that "persists")
