Tor-Browser 10.0.10: Gah. Your tab just crashed

English Network/Internet

I installed Tor-Browser with Yast2 but it won’t start. Only “Gah. Your tab just crashed” can be seen.

You are not the first one, I have seen some of this errors in other forums.
Also the only unzipped tor browser in the /home is not working.

But no solution.

Maybe open a bugreport.

3

Maybe I need Cairo and/or ‘Arimo 12’ fonts, but I don’t find them. Not in my Tumbleweed-PC nor in the internet.

I try to install fetchmsttfonts by Yast but there were not those fonts?

5

Yes. I found that page ysterday and I thought I will install Tor-Browser from Flatpak (Home Clear Linux* Project | Clear Linux* Project).
Well, I noticed that I cannot do it because the only command which worked was ‘flatpak --help’ rotfl!
In other words I don’t know how to use flatpak commands :frowning:

6

I found Paolo Panto’s workaround from the page https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182474.
I searched for the correct directory and edited it in the original help.

- mkdir /home/user/libfreetype6 && cd /home/user/libfreetype6- wget https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/libfreetype6-2.10.4-1.1.x86_64.rpm
- rpm2cpio ./libfreetype6-2.10.4-1.1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/user/libfreetype6/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "/home/user/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser" -v --detach

Then I edited the last line to the Tor-Browser start menu.

Not very elegant, but works.

The general recommendation is to install the Tor Browser Bundle

https://www.torproject.org/download/

Unlike installing from openSUSE and simpler than installing a Flatpak or similar universal installer,

The Tor Browser Bundle simply extracts wherever you wish and is completely self-contained, without requiring dependencies or other software,
Since it’s completely self-contained, if you ever want to “uninstall” the TBB, you simply delete the diectory tree of the app.

Is much simpler than any other kind of install, and since it doesn’t share dependencies or locations with anything else, it shouldn’t conflict with anything and can be removed or updated easily when you wish.

I didn’t know that

The general recommendation is to install the Tor Browser Bundle

I did so the way I could and now at least it works. And I can remove Tor Browser installation easily. :wink:

I don’t like tar.xz packages because I have always problems with them.

9

I already use the TBB, and have for a while. But I still got bit by this bug. I’m glad I’m not the only one, and that the cause may be known, but it sucks having to wait for a fix. I’m not keen on using the alpha version of TBB, and the workaround mentioned above doesn’t work for me since the older version of libfreetype6 was removed from the repo.

10

You can find the older version of libfreetype6 in http://download.opensuse.org/history/20210209/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/

Thanks a lot,Philippe!

I have often searched for old-RPM packages, but I have never found them.
I bookmarked the page http://download.opensuse.org/history/ :good:
