Fedora :: Tor And Polipo - Polipo Doesn't Work
Jun 3, 2010
I am new to Fedora, not to RPM based distros (though it has been awhile) and I am not new to Linux. I like what I am seeing with Fedora, might be staying with it.
I am using Fedora 13.
I have Tor and Polipo installed. But for some reason Polipo doesn't want to work.
I did this -
Quote:
I added the config file[url] as it said in the /etc/polipo/ directory.
But on restart I get this error -

Stopping it failed. Not sure if it is just not starting maybe? I also did this to the -

If your SELinux config is not allowing tor or privoxy to run correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory /etc/selinux/targeted. Edit this file in your favorite text editor and insert "allow_ypbind=1". Restart your machine for this change to take effect.
I have tor button installed and checked Firefox Network Proxy settings when tor is running, it is set up fine and forwarding to port 8118 as it should.
I haven't configured the firewall yet in Fedora 13 yet.
What am I missing?
This is the error I am getting in Firefox with tor running

When I was using polipo on Ubuntu, it automatically start at system boot.
Now I'm using opensuse, I installed polipo from the repository, however, I have to manually start it by using "sudo polipo". If root privilege is not given, polipo won't work correctly.
What should I do to make it start at boot automatically?
a friend told me to creat /etc/boot.local, with code...

Currently i am using the tutorial from Bodhi to setup Dansguardian to work togather with Privoxy and it worked fine.Then i installed Polipo to work with Privoxy which work as intented with additional forward the port to Privoxy.
Code:
Is it possible to run Polipo together with Privoxy? Yes. In order to get the privacy enhancements of Privoxy and much (but not all) of the performance of Polipo, you should put Polipo upstream of Privoxy.
In other words, you should:
point your web browser at Privoxy (localhost:8118);
point Privoxy at Polipo (put forward / localhost:8123 in the Privoxy config file);
use no parent proxy in Polipo.
Now i tried to use Dansguardian togather with Privoxy and Dansguardian with the same configuration but fail.

Problem with FC13 on a 64 bit box...tried to get Tor and Polipo going and at boot, the system hangs as soon as Polipo starts up. I need to adjust or delete the Polipo service but can't seem to get to any kind of a terminal either...it used to be just hit ctl-alt-and and F key and it dropped to a term. Now that's not happening. Can I do that? And...alternatively, can I force a skip of the Polipo service as it's booting?

openSUSE 11.3 on T42 trying to use Tor (0.2.1.26-2) with polipo (1.0.4.1) with Firefox 3.6.12 and Torbutton 1.2.5
First time I tried to run it I had to restart polipo as root, having copied the config file from the tor project site but then all worked as hoped. I could toggle tor on and off with tor button and all was well. The tor test functioned and reported tor was working.
Today alas not so. I received error message to check polipo was running. It wasn't so I enabled it in system services and rebooted. Now polipo is running but when I try and use firefox for example to go to google, with torbutton enabled I get error message:- 504 Connect to Google failed: Connection refused.
I noted from other threads here that most people seem to use privoxy rather than polipo. Any reason for that? Is one better than the other?

I just recently installed Tor again on my new Natty install along with Vidalia. It was working initially, but for some reason it has ceased to function within the last 24 hours. When I start Tor (either from the command-line or Vidalia) and go to check.torproject.org, it says that Tor isn't running. (I don't use Torbutton with Firefox, if that makes any difference. I use FoxyProxy, but the settings look fine to me. It was working only yesterday.) I've checked the config files for Polipo and Tor, and I've checked my Vidalia settings more times than I can count. It all looks perfectly satisfactory.
I'm sure that it's not my firewall, Tor/Polipo configurations, or Vidalia settings. When I launch Tor with Vidalia and check the logs, everything works just fine and it says I'm connected. The only thing I can think of is that it might be a FoxyProxy issue or a problem with check.torproject.org, but the settings for FoxyProxy look okay and check.torproject.org hasn't malfunctioned in the past.
I've purged and reinstalled Tor, Vidalia, and Polipo and restored their config files and settings to the defaults, but still to no avail. My current malfunctioning Tor configuration is identical to my old and functional one, so far as I can tell.

I installed polipo and polipo working perfectly, but it won't startup when I bootup the system. To start polipo correctly, root privilige is needed. I remember that in Ubuntu polipo starts with the system after installation. What should I do to make polipo start during the bootup process?

I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.

Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) I installed that update, during the installation process it said that it had to remove three packages, one of them was kmod nvidia for the old kernel (Fedora (2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64))After the update finished installing the new kernel, I restarted the system and Nvidia did not load. (I assume because Update manager removed the old nvidia? But I also assumed that a new version would be installed automatically?)I received the following Boot messages:
Code:
Entering non-interactive startup
Starting monitoring for VG vg_user1: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_user1" monitored
[code]....
I'm confused, if Update Manager removed kmod nvidia, then why does yum say it is installed? And why doesn't the new kernel update work with that version? Or should I install a driver version for that particular kernel? I've read while searching that I need to install a kmod-nvidia for that particual kernel version and that I should login to my previous kernel until that happens, is that the problem I'm having?
Why don't rpmfusion and fedoraproject release the kmod-nvidia and kernel updates at the same time to avoid problems such as this? Does anyone know how long does it usually take for rpmfusion to release the new kmod-nvidia driver for the latest kernel?

I have winbind Active Directory authentication set up on my laptop. AD authentication works like a charm, passwords cache, etc. I can use sudo with no problem. However, I cannot use the root account -no matter what I set the root password to, the system will not take it. I also have a couple of normal system users (not winbind), and no matter what I set their passwords to, I cannot login.

I just installed KDE through gruoinstall command on my F12. I can't use the vertical scroll bar on the touchpad of my laptop. Also I wanted to change the shortcut to window menu. It's Alt+F3 whereas I am comfortable to Alt+Space like in GNOME.

For some reason Ctrl+Alt+Fn doesn't work on my Fedora 13 workstation using the nvidia driver. I specified the following in my xorg.conf but it doesn'tption "DontVTSwitch" "off"It is probably not even an Xorg problem because VT switching doesn't work in runlevel 3 either.

I'm using fedora 15 (since its beta), i have had decent experience with software installs and updates and did like gnome 3 Now, coming to the point I have installed linuxdcpp from the standard fedora15 repo "it just doesn't work!!" I can't download filelists or search while others can , i have tried to find similar problem and used their solutions but all was in vain, for instance a guy had similar problem and had recived advice to change incoming connections to firewall manual from active and give ip adress in external/wan (or something ) but it just didn't work even if no one is able to solve this problem , i would appreciate, if someone tells me what exactly is going wrong (or some definitive idea)...
not brag or compare linuxdcpp "just works" in all ubuntu versions from 10.04 through 11.04.honestly this is really annoying i can't easily share files with friends .... ( i had to use dropbox for this!just because i chose a true free gnu/linux ..

Nvidia either works or it doesn't work under Fedora 10 64 bit OS. I have re-installed Fedora 10 64 bit and Fedora 11 64 bit 10 times each and it's getting real old. I keep erasing my system because Nvidia doesn't want to work. Leighs post does no good on this issue and neither does anyone else's or else it would work.

I have fedora 10 and I rotated my display upside down using Display settings (I don't know if it is the same thing as system-config-display, I had an icon called Display settings on my panel). It didn't work, my screen became black and now I can't change it back. Can I somehow change it back using terminal only? There's no rotation set in my xorg.conf file, I tried to set different rotation in xorg.conf, but it had no effect.

I have a 5 button mouse and the 4th and 5th buttons are useful for skipping back or forwards while surfing with Firefox. It would be nice if I could skip back in Nautilus too, but it doesn't work. (Alt+LeftArrow & Alt+RightArrow as keybord equivalent) Is there a possibility to use this buttons in Nautilus too?

My desktop is a Compaq CQ5110F. It's a dual boot system and Fedora 11 resides on sda3 of hard disk (WD 3200AAJS-6).Both suspend and hibernate don't work, but the symptoms are different. For hibernate, after resume, there are some messages (??) about register errors quickly flashed on the screen, then the logon window shows but the system hangs. For suspend, I cannot wake up the system by hitting some keys on the keyboard. After I press the power button, LCD doesn't get any signal. I remember hibernate worked when I was using Fedora10, but wireless card did not automatically reconnect at that time. Also hibernate works fine for vista.

I'm trying to plug my Cinemizer video goggles [URL] to my notebook. The resolution is 640x480 (yeah, I know) and I go from VGA to RCA to 3.5, which is needed by the device. From a cable oriented viewpoint this should work, but Fedora doesn't recognise the googles as a second monitor. how to enable vga output with a 640x480 resolution? This is extremely important for me since I need it for a personal project as well as for my work.

Just as the title says, the fullscreen feature in Flash video players such as ..... does not work in Fedora 13 on my computer. Videos play fine in the window, though. When I press the fullscreen button, the area where the video was playing turns gray and the sound stops playing. I've tried fiddling with some settings in Compiz but it didn't seem to help. I had Flash Player 10 installed initially, when it started having this problem, and then I installed 10.1 and it continued doing this.
