total burn crash

    • Closed (moved) Issue created by Trac @tracbot

    What does this mean? I tried re-installing the latest version. However, the same problem exists once again. Absolutely nothing I can do

      Try the troubleshooting steps here: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US/troubleshooting.html

      If they don't work, use "Copy Tor Log to Clipboard" and paste the results in this ticket.

      very sorry but

      Copy Tor Log to Clipbaord

      does NOT work. A paste into a text file results in NOTHING

      Maybe you can tell me where the log file is located

      Windows 10

      thanks

      What do you mean with "completely useless for me"? Have you tried any or all of them and nothing changed? Or do they not apply? Or...?

      1. the image with Connect and Configure is UNAVAILABLE to me. I see only the image that I referenced
      2. my computer clock is totally correct
      3. of course there is NOT another instance of Tor running
      4. i have never had a problem with Tor and an antivirus program
      5. I do NOT have an enabled firewall
      6. I told you that I already tried re-installing Tor, results in exact same problem
      7. I have never had a problem before running TOR
      8. "Tor Browser is under constant development, and some issues are known about but not yet fixed"

      yes you are correct about 8)

      you clearly don't have the background to diagnose this problem, please have a much more informed person reply with further instructions

      I have been programming for 35 years, I know how these things happen sometimes

      thanks very much

      1. my computer clock is totally correct

      Please check your timezone, if you haven't already.

      1. of course there is NOT another instance of Tor running

      Please check the process list, if you haven't already.

      1. i have never had a problem with Tor and an antivirus program

      Antivirus programs regularly identify Tor as malicious, because it is sometimes bundled with malware. This can happen due to a signature update. And it can disappear with another signature update.

      You wouldn't happen to be running Kapersky? It's been the worst one lately.

      you clearly don't have the background to diagnose this problem, please have a much more informed person reply with further instructions

      Try to avoid making technical and social assumptions - they make it harder to get your problem fixed.

      assumptions? I have given you the facts. That first image that I included should be enough to roughly diagnose the problem, even beyond the troubleshooting tips

      1. time zone is correct
      2. no other TOR in task list
      3. I found a task called "Antimalware Service Executable". I can't terminate it, even though I am an admin. I don't know what this is, a windows process?. I am definitely NOT running Kapersky

      I am very sorry that my experiences with tech support have routinely required me to ask for more experienced personnel, but that is absolutely true. I had no way of knowing who you are, but now I know, so that's all good

      I'm not convinced that I am running any anti virus software, but perhaps my response to 4) does indicate such. Not an expert, but it seems possible that TOR should be able to recognize problems from anti virus software, and then specifically indicate this. Without question, TOR should be able to identify the specific point of failure, and this should be logged

      Once again, where else are TOR problems logged? Copy to Clipboard does NOTHING. It has to be true that it is all logged to a file as well

      thanks once again

      1. you didn't specifically indicate that I am running any AntiVirus code
      2. so you are saying my TOR problems, are REALLY a Windows problem?? I have never had this problem before. I also have never seen the claim before that Windows causes specific TOR problems
      3. MinGW code - What is this?

      Please answer my question about the location of the file that receives TOR errors. If you can't answer this question, then it seems we are completely lost

      thanks for your help

      MinGW code - What is this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW (I'm random person)

      cypherpunks @cypherpunks ·

      You can look at Event viewer (Applications Log) for system report about failed application.

      where is the Event viewer? I've seen it, but it is NOT a control panel item. Looked in System, but didn't see it

      there is no evidence that I am using MinGW, I have never even heard of it

      thanks again

      I found the Event Viewer, but I don't see any references to TOR

      Am I looking in the wrong place?

      It's part of Windows Defender.

      Firefox using ShellExecuteExW to launch Tor.exe. Windows Defender dislike it?

      Tor Browser does not log to disk by default, for privacy reasons.

      I don't know if the error you posted is in Tor Browser or Tor. And the screenshot has disappeared.

      If the error is in Tor, you can log to disk by adding a line to torrc-defaults:

      Log debug C:\\path\\to\\file.log

      1. Copy to Clipboard, to see errors

      This does NOT work at all, as mentioned above

      1. I was told to add to torrc-defaults, to enable logging

      Log debug C:\path\to\file.log (eg. Log debug d:\myLog.log )

      This does NOT work at all either

      This is really quite stunning that neither technique works to enable logging

      completely pitiful response from your organization

      http://newjazz.net/TOR.png

      You told me to Copy to Clipboard. As you can see, this is a totally empty possibility

      http://newjazz.net/TOR2.png

      You told me to add to the TOR opening config file

      Log debug file d:\myLog.log

      This does NOT create the given file

      You have given me nothing but useless advice, I am completely astonished

      There is no point in me returning here, what a shame
