I followed these written instructions to install Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and configure the network:
The only thing I could find about installing Torbrowser was in the references at:
…which lead me to…
I followed the instructions for Linux and this kept tor from running. (When I ran it tor over tor it looked like it was connecting fine. Firefox also connects fine.) I believe I configured it according the instructions yet I get the “Something went wrong” page.
This is because Tor Browser has no access to Tor’s control port.
Technically this is better explained here:
Soon there will be might be (depending on community support) much better support for other operating systems such as Ubuntu. Because Whonix’s functionality (such as fixing this issue) has been split into multiple packages, which I am currently testing. This particular issue could be fixed with the anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor package (GitHub - Whonix/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor).
So you could either go through the hassle of being the first tester of that package outside Whonix, or go through the hassle of manually implementing the functionality of that package or to live with this issue. For now, only Tor Button’s New Identiy feature and the about:tor page should be broken due to missing Tor control port access.
I suppose you mean these functions are broken on anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor package because I can’t connect to any website without tor over tor.
Thanks for all your help. I’m learning a lot from the wiki.
I can't connect to any website without tor over tor.Then your proxy settings are wrong, not pointing to the gateway. I thought you are already at that point and now wondering about the "something went wrong" message.
No. The package anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor is a new package, which you do not have installed on Ubuntu. It’s the functionality used in Whonix to fix the issue you are having. It will first appear in Whonix 9. Maybe later in other distributions. In essence it sets up system settings to make Tor Browser work without your issue.
No, I saw the message and assumed I couldn’t connect to any site. I guess I had changed the proxy settings and didn’t change them back when I tested it, after I read what you said. I corrected them now and I can connect! Cool beans.
Anyway I built anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor but I didn’t get a “.deb” package I got a “.tar.gz” and a “.build” so the instructions to replace “apparmor-profile-torbrowser” with “anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor” only got me this far.
One thing I didn’t understand was how this…
./build -us -uc
…would indicate what version number you wanted to build. I just ran it in the anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor directory and it created a directory called anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor_0.1.orig and those two files.
Anyway I built anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor but I didn't get a ".deb" package I got a ".tar.gz" and a ".build" so the instructions to replace "apparmor-profile-torbrowser" with "anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor" only got me this far.The .deb should be in home folder as well.
If not, there must be some error. Can you post the log please?

./build reads the version number from debian/control.[/quote]
I don’t know where that is. Do you write the version number you want to build into debian/control?
I’m not sure if I built it right. “git tag” didn’t show any version numbers so I went right to “./build -us -uc”.

Double checked. No deb.

./buildIt now is.
make deb-pkg(When you have latest version from git.)
(The wiki has been updated accordingly.)
Technical reason for the change in case you are interested:

[quote]One thing I didn’t understand was how this…

[/quote]
./build reads the version number from debian/control.
[/quote]
I don’t know where that is. Do you write the version number you want to build into debian/control?[/quote]
Technical answer:
Sorry, I meant, the build script reads the version number from debian/changelog, not debian/control. This is implemented in man-helper.bsh in function get_variables. But you most likely didn’t want the technical answer, sorry.
How to answer:
At the moment, just run.
make deb-pkgSince there are no git tags yet, you automatically get the latest version (technically build from git master).
I'm not sure if I built it right. "git tag" didn't show any version numbers so I went right to "./build -us -uc".This is correct. There are not git tags yet. I am not sure yet the most efficient way to maintain all the packages.

Yes, I failed to follow instructions there. I’m wary of using Debain sources so I tried it like this:
user@host:~$ sudo apt-get install devscripts faketime git
devscripts is already the newest version.
devscripts set to manually installed.
git is already the newest version.

The error you’re seeing is caused by the standards related lintian warning, because we’re using lintian --fail-on-warnings.
In this particular case I do not foresee any issues. Probably the worst thing that could happen is, that the package will be defunct, but that is unlikely, I think.
And before you run into the next issue… (Because this package is developed for Whonix 9.) In /etc/rinetd.conf you have to edit all strings.
10.152.152.10With the IP of your own gateway. For Whonix 8.x:
192.168.0.10Then restart rinetd.
sudo service rinetd restart
Then it should work.

All I care about is being able to create a new identity. Is there any other way to do this? I can’t do it by restarting Torbrowser? How do I know if I have new identity?
Another problem I have sometimes is that the scroll bars for the whole Torbrowser window disappear. Not a big issue, I just have to use page up/down. It would be nice for the documentation however.

How do I know if I have new identity?Good question. Documentation for this topic has been added few minutes ago: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Tor_Browser#Verify_New_Identity

Another problem I have sometimes is that the scroll bars for the whole Torbrowser window disappear. Not a big issue, I just have to use page up/down. It would be nice for the documentation however.Never saw this issue. Sounds like a Ubuntu and/or Tor Browser bug and should be reported upstream. Since Whonix is not involved, you are allowed to contact them.

Good question. Documentation for this topic has been added few minutes ago:
After the install of anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor, I was getting a new identity despite the fact that the onion symbol by the address bar had an X on it and about:tor said “Something went wrong”. I checked a snapshot from before I ran the installation and I was not getting a new identity (Torbrowser popped up a message telling me I wasn’t also).
I prefer to change IP using the gateway however. Are the streams going to look any different when you are running multiple workstations behind one gateway? If you get a new identity with Torbutton does that apply only to the workstation you did it from?
I don’t know of any other reason I would need anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor. I may be able to help you test it when I have more time later, but you know how that goes.
I prefer to change IP using the gateway however.Ok. [You still must restart Tor Browser (if you were using it) to unlink browser states.]
Are the streams going to look any different when you are running multiple workstations behind one gateway?If they have different IP's, yes.

IsolateClientAddrDon’t share circuits with streams from a different client address.

NEWNYM -- Switch to clean circuits, so new application requests don't share any circuits with old ones. Also clears the client-side DNS cache. (Tor MAY rate-limit its response to this signal.)I don't know of any other reason I would need anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.If you need it or not is up to your needs. See the package description (https://github.com/Whonix/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor/blob/master/README.md) if that sounds relevant to you.
This is now finally sorted out. See the new thread since I will close this one.
