TOR browser not working

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I have Tumbleweed version=“20181015” and KDE desktop. Occasionally I use the TOR browser - normally through the torbrowser launcher. Today nothing happend when I clicked it. From the command line I get:

torbrowser-launcher
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher", line 29, in <module>
    import torbrowser_launcher
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torbrowser_launcher/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
    from .launcher import Launcher
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torbrowser_launcher/launcher.py", line 35, in <module>
    import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

What is going on there? has anyone else this problem?

Hi
Is python3-requests installed?

Thank you malcolmlewis, it was not installed (and it requested 13 other python3 packages during install. Now the TOR browser works again!.
Excellent advise - but how did you know? I couldn’t trace anything from this command line output.

Hi
From your output (always important :wink: )

Your running tor with python 3.6 and the module name is requests…


zypper se request

shows output including...

python3-requests

Most of the time it will work unless it’s bundled with another module then you can always try the --file-list or search-packages options.
