Hi,

I need to run Tor Browser as another user..

So here what I'm doing under, MX Linux ( Debian, SysVinit, xfce)
#as root, in a terminal under xfce

useradd --create-home --system --shell /usr/sbin/nologin TorUser
# btw --system or not ?

tar -xf tor-browser-linux...tar -C /opt --totals
chown -R TorUser:TorUser /opt/tor-browser

runuser -u TorUser -- /opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop
return

Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach'...

But nothing happen, and I don't see any process for TorUser

any ideas ?

Posted on the offical Tor-browser in June, but no reactions so far... :/
