Re: Tor Browser Install Ubuntu
Argimiro Krishnamoorthy
I have read the answers to other questions regarding the install/running of the tor browser. I have tried the answers given but still cannot get the tor browser to run on mine. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and where it shows to start tor browser when I double click all I get is an open tab full of code. Anyone with suggestions I should try? I also tried downloading from tor project did not work and tried the install using command in the terminal and it also did not work. When I had windows, I had no problem with the install or the tor browser running. I really like Ubuntu better; this is the only thing that I am having trouble with. PLEASE HELP!!!
If you are absolutely new to Ubuntu and Linux, this could be overwhelming and I completely understand that. This is why I am going to list each step with proper screenshots here. In fact, I have made a video for you to make it even easier.
Your downloaded deb file should be in the Downloads folder. Installing deb files is not that complicated. Think of these deb files as .exe files in Windows. Go to the downloaded deb file, right click on it and choose to open it with Software Center.
Open the App Center and look for GDebi. You may have to wait for a little or try a couple of times to see GDebi in the search area. If it doesn't show, try switching between explore and featured and then search again.
In here, choose GDebi. Ensure that you make GDebi default for opening deb files in the future. With that, from the next time onwards, you just have to double click on a downloaded deb file and it will be opened in GDebi.
Once you have installed Chrome on Ubuntu, you can search for it in the menu. Simply press the Windows key (called super key in Ubuntu) and start typing Chrome. Here are some other Ubuntu shortcuts you should know.
You probably already know this. If you log in to Chrome with Google account (Gmail account), it will allow you to sync your bookmarks, history, browser plugins and extensions from other devices where you use Google Chrome with the same Google account.
I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on my computer a few hours ago. For a few days, I tried to do an install so I could dual boot between Ubuntu & Windows 10. But I had failure after failure, so I gave up. I formatted my Samsung SS drive to one large partition and did a ubuntu only install which seems to be working fine as far as I can tell.
This will download the .deb package of Google Chrome for 64-bit systems, which is standard for most modern systems. If you have a different architecture, you'll need to get the appropriate package from Google Chrome's download page.
Let me preface this by saying that I am completely new to linux and working with the terminal (I only started using linux 3 days ago).
That said, I am having an issue while trying to install linux on the terminal. I have seen similar issues described here, but with other error codes. Now, whenever I try to install the browser, I receive the following error in the terminal:
It worked! I have finally installed it successfully! Thank you so much!!
Just out of curiosity, can you explain where it probably went wrong during the installation process or what might have happened that this occurred in the first place?
Just in case I have a similar problem in the future, I am still super new to using Linux.
One of our team have installed Brave locally on Ubuntu 20.04 and report that it is working normally. I wonder if you could run the command brave-browser from the terminal and list any errors that appear. When you start Brave from the window manager you may be hitting errors that are not visible, and running it in the terminal could help us determine what is going wrong for you at launch.
I am having trouble with the authentication code. The page is asking for a 6 position code. Where as Authy has a 7 position code. And I have always known the uphold code to be the oddball with 7 characters. Please help.
Ubuntu comes pre-installed with the Firefox web browser, but it just so happens that the popular Google Chrome also works. You can use the Google browser on one of the more popular Linux distributions, just as you would on macOS and Windows. Chrome is available for download on an Ubuntu laptop or any other Ubuntu machine. There are two ways you can install it. You can enjoy a manual download with the default Firefox web browser, similar to how you might use Edge to do this on Windows, or you can install it using Terminal.
You'll see a notification prompt about the installation being complete. You can access it from your applications list, and sign into the browser, sync your favorites and other history across your different operating systems or devices.
Google Chrome can also be installed using the Ubuntu Terminal command line interface (CLI). This isn't quite as easy as the GUI as you'll have to type out some commands, but in the end, it does the same thing as installing through a downloaded .deb file. You'll fetch the file, then run a command to download it.
After that, you'll see that Google Chrome will be available in your applications menu. You can now sign in to your Google account and use the browser just like you would on any other platform. We suggest adding the app to your favorites, too. Just find it in the list of your applications, right-click it, then choose Add to Favorites.
Now that you've installed Google Chrome, which happens to be one of those apps that works across all the major operating systems, we do have some other advice. You might want to check out some other Linux apps. There are many great Linux apps like Libre Office for editing Word documents, GIMP for editing photos, video editors, and so much more. Google Chrome is only the start!
I thought the TK1 would do it, but Firefox was crushed by the 2nd page in his example. I wonder if it is just the Firefox browser, though. So, I went to install Chrome or Chromium and found no helpful pages. The NV site sends you to a page to install x86 Chrome. Bah.
I also get better performance from Firefox on that page.
Looking at the CPU while running I think you will be better off with the Denver version of the Jetson board if/when it becomes available. (assuming the software will work correctly on it out of the box, since ARM V8 is so new that might be a problem)
If you redesigned the page to use WebGL though it would probably run at 60FPs at 1080p on the current Jetson though.
You could of course also get a cheap x86 SBC with an Intel Bay Trail atom CPU. These have Ivy Bridge class Intel HD graphics and run up to 2.4GHz with most instruction features found on ivy bridge.
Also a webgl version of the page would still run faster on the intel CPU anyway.
I was able to run the Tor Browser on MacOS using Selenium. First, install the Tor Browser by downloading the appropriate package from here. MacOS will prompt you to move the contents to the Applications folder. Run TorBrowser to see if it works. Leave the TorBrowser running and run the following code.
On Ubuntu, you can just leave the unzipped folder where it is. Test that TorBrowser works by double-clicking the TorBrowser icon in the folder. After spending a lot of time trying to make Tor work with Selenium on Ubuntu, I gave up and concluded that it might be easier to use a different tool specialized for Tor. I tried tor-browser-selenium link, which worked like a charm. This the code from that repository that worked for me:
I'm trying to do the Linux headless install as described at on an Ubuntu 16.04 workstation. It works until I get to the point in the instructions that say "If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account."
I tried your command, and it popped up a warning that the daemon didn't exist, and it seemed to then download it from Dropbox and install it, but ended up in exactly the same spot. The output is below. Should it pop up a link to paste into my browser? Or am I not getting that far for some reason?
In such cases Dropbox application tries to redirect the link directly to default web browser. Just go there and declare you would like to connect. If, for some reason, this don't happens try to execute previous command in clear console shell. In advance login, using following:
Type your password (computer account, not Dropbox one) and proceed as in my previous post. Once you get your application connected to the Dropbox account, you can run the application in any other way, also (connection is granted).
My situation is that I am using Chrome Remote Desktop to log from a Mac into the headless Linux instance. In CRD I see a simulated desktop, I can launch terminal windows, browsers, etc. In Chrome in my Mac I have popups allowed. I also have popups allowed in the Chrome browser in the Linux instance. During installation of the daemon I see popups from the installation process appear in my CRD window. Thus, I would expect that if it wanted to pop up a window giving me a URL link to log into Dropbox, it would have appeared. No?
In Linux (unlike Mac and Windows) graphical shell doesn't "stick" to the place where particular program runs. One program can run on machine (real or virtual) where graphics isn't available, but program widow can come up on another machine where X interface is supported (either native - Linux, or emulated), if the interface is redirected. Something similar seems happens in your case. For example, X redirection in 'ssh' command could be achieved using '-X' option. In some graphical terminal emulators is a checkbox for same reason. Anyway, when local graphics is available or X interface is redirected, corresponding session is graphical, otherwise session is clear console. Seems you have used a redirection for your initial session. I have not any idea why browser doesn't bring up, but one possibility would be missing browser installation on the Linux. If so, you can install Firefox, for example, using:
