Start Tor Browser as user "spot"

Post by rockedge »

Tor browser running as the user spot

Download the package, extract it to /root/spot/some_Tor

In a terminal, run the command:

Code: Select all

chown -R spot /root/spot/some_Tor

Copy /root/spot/Tor_Browser/start-tor-browser.desktop to /root/spot/start-tor-browser.desktop

open to modify the /root/spot/start-tor-browser.desktop file and replace the

Code: Select all

Exec=sh -c '"/root/spot/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser" --detach || ([ !  -x "/root/spot/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser" ] && "$(dirname "$*")"/Browser/start-tor-browser --detach)' dummy %k

with

Code: Select all

Exec=sudo -u spot /root/spot/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser

I drag and drop /root/spot/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser on to the desktop to create a short-cut. Also place a copy of this .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and run in a terminal (or from the shutdown menu):

Code: Select all

fixmenus
jwm -restart
