"About" in the browser says this is Tor 9.0.9, up to date,Firefox 68.7.0esr) (32-bit) up to date.
While in Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), sound & video work fine locally & on web in both Firefox and TOR. In Knoppix, both work locally & in Firefox. But in Knoppix in TOR, I can play video but THERE's NO SOUND.
I'm illiterate in unix/debian commands. This is all new to me. Can someone guide me in plainspeak through trying some fixes in Knoppix?
I'm coming up empty on the internet. I would very much appreciate any help. Thank you - AntiDiluv

Summary: I'm a new user of Knoppix 8.1. I've cc'd it to a USB drive but haven't yet found a thesaurus that gives lists of commands so a beginner can speak to 1 of the several terminals. Online and in the software, knowledge of command line language is simply assumed.
The onboard Tor downloader does not work and I don't know how to monkey with it. Yesterday I magically, effortlessly went to the Tor site on Firefox, downloaded Tor for Linux 32bit, and somehow intuited that by going to Properties in one of the files, I could find checksums, copy them to another slot in Properties, & Bingo, they matched. I had read about checksums before, but had never discovered where to find them or how to match them. Now I just discovered this by accident. I felt secure in opening that archive. It effortlessly deployed and I had one night of fast, lovely use of TOR as I used to have in Windows 7.
Today of course all my settings are gone, Tor is gone, and I had to start over. (I found online instructions by the author of Knoppix- from the 90s- as to how to configure Knoppix to save settings -to a floppy drive- for a start menu with items that don't exist anymore, which I can't find in the system. This seems typical.)
Today when I downloaded Tor and extracted the archive I found NO files with Properties that included checksums.
SUGGESTION: IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT THIS ON YOUR HOW-TO-VERIFY-SIG PAGE.
So I deleted Tor and downloaded again.Same deal. Deleted again.
I next reviewed the instructions at https://support.torproject.org/tbb/how-to-verify-signature/
Your first suggestion is to download the signature file that accompanies each download, w/an .asc extension.
I have never been able to figure this out when I used Windows 7, nor could I now at https://www.torproject.org/download/languages/ . Under GNU/Linux, I can click on 32bit and get the download; and I can click on (sig) and open a tab that shows a long sequence of digits, with BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE and END PGP SIGNATURE bookending it. I see that the tab indeed has the name of the file + .asc. But I don't see any way to download this as an .asc file. The tab just opens and displays the digit string.
SUGGESTION: TELL US HOW TO MAKE IT DOWNLOAD AS A FILE.
If it is downloading automatically when I download the TOR archive, I don't know where it is.
SUGGESTION: TELL US WHERE WE SHOULD LOOK FOR IT, IF IT IS DOWNLOADING.
So I copied the string of numbers to the little text writer, leaf.txt, and saved that in Downloads with the file name + .asc.
But I doubt that's going to work as your instructions prescribe.Actually,that still leaves a question: there are no further instructions.
SUGGESTION: TELL US WHAT ONE IS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE .ASC FILE, ONCE LOCATED.
Next I went to your second suggestion,"FETCHING" the Tor Developers Key.
Luckily, you hinted at method in saying I would have to type in a terminal.
I found a terminal and typed in what you said to do, and was very gratified to find that it generated exactly what you predicted.
How frustrating then, your next instruction:
After importing the key, you can save it to a file (identifying it by fingerprint here):
gpg --output ./tor.keyring --export 0xEF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290
You were doing so well. Up til then as a normal newbie I was able to follow all instructions. Here they devolved into opaque geekspeak.
SUGGESTION: GIVE A CLUE AS TO HOW TO SAVE TO A FILE from where we're just hanging at a line in a terminal.
And WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO IDENTIFY BY a FINGERPRINT?
If this is impossible because terminals and their languages are vastly different,
at least define these terms.
Maybe someone can advise as to where to find simple commands in KDE for beginners. The KDE site is just for developers.
I've been 5 days holed up trying to figure out how to do basic things. I'm hungry; I have to go to the bathroom. I'd like to check my mail. People must think I've died.
Hope you can help me and others. Thanks.
BTW the download says it's v.9.0.5. The form to submit this ticket asks for version, but the only permitted fill-ins are variants of version 4...?? So I said unspecified.
SUGGESTION: Resolve this apparent mystery.
AND I am u nable to compose a Summary to the satisfaction of this Form: it keeps saying Error Loading Tickets.I wonder if I'll ever get to send this.
SUGGESTION: Have it give more info, so I can fix it. I don't know what it wants.

The only application I am currently aware of that is unable to produce sound (after manually starting Pulseaudio) is Tor Browser 9.0.5.
To test whether this is an issue of the Firefox release Tor Browser is based on, namely 68.5.0esr (64-bit), I downloaded that and was able to play audio successfully (e.g. on Youtube).
I had a look at the Tor Logs, but they seem to only log events related to Tor connectivity, not browser-related events.

OS update triggered (parrot os)
The Browser immediatly fails with warning message, with this link, but zero logs, everytime.
i have spent a "few" hours going through the processes, im now here writing this.
list of fault finding with zero success:
Rebooted, used older version of OS (last weeks)
same issue.. despite working previously 48hrs ago.. (odd)
Rebooted again, chose updated OS version
ran updates manualy
reconfiged packet sources
read torproject documents
reconfiged tor deb. sources
updated again
cleared up
grew incresingly fustrated at zero effects
checked updates, version, integreity. no complaining
swapped out line access to wireless access, regularly used, known to work
reinstalled Tor Browser Via alternate mirror, using OS Applicaiton - Tor Browser Launcher Settings
Ran updates, none needed, current version, no complaints
repeated again, differnt mirror, via terminal
still no change in immediacey of crash, with zero logs.
known good state of health of hardware, less than a year as a fresh rebuild.
(may decline rapidly, however.)
no network issues, other functions work
ran Anon Surf Application, autoconfigs, traffic routes through Tor.
writing this via it. checked functions. no issues.
cannot find what is broken. cannot find conflict. I am "locked Out"
Can, try this all over again on a seperate, similar machine,.
owing to that which is bed time was yesterday and "no idea delierum" of should i eat, have a drink, or fall face first into a couch, means im done,.

In start-tor-browser script file, line 225 "unset TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD" this leaves the control password blank. Every time I start TBB the HashedControlPassword is different.
When setting TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD in the terminal, TBB fails to start. Error message is: "[warn] Bad password or authentication cookie on controller."
When setting TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD in start-tor-browser script file the same error message is reported "[warn] Bad password or authentication cookie on controller."
When manually setting HashedControlPassword in torrc, tor ignored it and sometimes changed it.
All errors happened on a clean/brand new Linux Mint 64-bit Virtual Machine.

Around 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through downloading the image the colors on my screen rapidly go all pale like pastel shades or that the white balance is getting higher and higher then I just get a
black screen with a non-blinking cursor in the upper-left corner. I have to power-cycle my computer to recover.
No one else in the imageboard has reported problems with this picture.
I enabled debug logging and will attempt attaching the logfile.
