tor on pinebook pro

[user8080]

Hi, done a quick search but found nothing,
Installed the tor browser earlier and i get the error
"tor browser requires a cpu with SSE2 support, exiting"

Just wondered what the workaround is at the moment? if at all.
running manjaro at the moment like everyone else.

Any ideas would be good,
Thanks

... where did you get your installed tor browser?

see:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-browser-ports/

Thanks for replying, I installed the normal tor browser first,
Second time i followed your link and installed the first download from that page.
and i get a different error.
"wrong architecture? 32-bit vs. 64-bit"

are all those links the same or do i need a specific one?
Thanks,

to answer my own question. i found a file called
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-bro....10-arm64/

tor-browser-linux-arm64-9.0.10_en-US.tar.xz.
*Tested on pine book pro works great

Just fyi for others who may have encountered similar issues: the problem is because the default file '**linux64** when directed to download from the TOR download page does not 'account' for A64 architecture - hence the no SSE support message. You just need to find the latest/current arm64 version and that should work on the PBP.

Summary:
1. if you are unable to run Tor from your pinebook pro, specifically encountering an error message that includes 'SSE'...
2. Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-bro...rts/files/
3. Look for a recent (if you wish) version with 'arm64', eg. '9.5.1-arm64'
4. choose a download that corresponds to your locale (language) eg. CN for chinese, EN for english etc

Hope this helps

So I downloaded this and it runs fine, but I have to dig to the .desktop file in the directory where I downloaded it and run that. Is there a way to properly "install" it, such that it shows up in the Application Launcher? I've searched around and I'm having trouble finding a procedure that fits this case. I'm on Manjaro Arm on the PBP. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In terminal change to the directory with the desktop file and do

Code:

./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app
