Error cannot run the program

[vikezz]

After entering the bridge lines I got the error message:

We tried to restart Tor 4 times, but it continued to fail with error message:
Cannot run program "/home/amnesia/.local/share/Bitsquare/mainnet/tor/tor" (in directory "/home/amnesia/.local/share/Bitsquare/mainnet/tor"): error=2, No such file or directory

Please check your internet connection and firewall and try to start again.

Please help with suggestions for troubleshooting the error.

OS: Tails 2.4

Seems you have some connection issues. Can you try to test if Torbrowser is working? Maybe there is some firewall setup preventing Bitsquare Tor to connect?

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for your quick reply :)

My Tor browser is working flawlessly without connection issues and I'm running a simple Shorewall one-interface firewall configuration.

[ManfredKarrer]

So I assume there is an issue with the firewall not allowing the Bitsquare Tor instance to connect. The Tor instance Bitsquare uses is the same as the one used inside Tor Browser. Maybe you can try to shutdown Tor browser and see if that helps?

[vikezz]

Alrighty, I'll try that and give an update when I know more. Thanks for your help so far :)

[ManfredKarrer]

Could you solve the issue?

Assuming it is resolved, otherwise re-open.

I'm getting this on linux:

ERROR b.n.p2p.network.TorNetworkNode: Tor node creation failed: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/mnt/pen/Bisq/btc_mainnet/tor/tor" (in directory "/mnt/pen/Bisq/btc_mainnet/tor"): error=13, Permission denied

however it seems that the tor file has correct (executable) permission:

This must be something related to running from usb flash drive...
Right, just a glimpse at /etc/mtab and I see this:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/pen ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

Critical bit is noexec which means that executables cannot be run from that partition.

A quick fix is to add dedicated entry just for mounting usb flash drive with Bisq:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/Bisq auto noauto,user,exec 0 0

Now I can run Bisq from my usb flash drive with --appDataDir=/mnt/Bisq/Bisq.
