can we make the “start-tor-browser.desktop” executable permissions in the .tar.xz file? Is there a reason to not have it executable by default?
I am pointing out that this seems like it was a known issue.
I just didn’t end up going to command-line directions, for some reason?
Linux
Tor Browser is supported on any modern Linux-based operating system. Please reach out (linked to support contact) if you encounter any issues while installing.
Note: If this command fails to run, you probably need to make the file executable. From within this directory run:
chmod +x start-tor-browser.desktopfrom “Command-line method” under “For linux” in the tor browser manual.
I ended up trying contact support and I think I confused the support person. I thought I needed to give all executables run permissions. I didn’t know that I only need to give .desktop run permissions. and I tried looking for a readme for more info.
I for some reason didn’t “see” the use chmod in the tor browser manual (even though I had it open and the screen was showing command line option).
I am not the only one with this issue.
