OK, first let’s remove the “tor” package and it’s dependencies . it’s not really necessary for the tor-browser.

Open a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get remove --purge tor tor-geoipdb torsocks

OK, (in case you haven’t already, let’s add the webupd8team/tor-browser PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser

and hit enter when prompted.

update the package cache:

sudo apt-get update

and install tor-browser:

sudo apt-get install tor-browser

“Tor Browser” should now be in your “Internet” menu

Or you can start it from the command line with:

/usr/bin/tor-browser-en.sh

Mark thanks for your help, it was going ok until the install where this came up:

N: Ignoring file ‘tor.list$’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file ‘tor.list$’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Unable to locate package browser

Not sure what happened, i have the package saved, any thoughts on what happened?

Also read that privoxy should be run with tor browser is that true?

Thanks

What’s the output from:

ls -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d

and

cat /etc/lsb-release

and

cat /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -n 10
