[Solved] Launching Tor Browser gives Download Error 404

[blufeld]

LM 21.1 xfce Vera: Launching newly installed TorBrowswer gives Download Error 404. TB can't download updates upon initialization. Seems to be a bug. Maybe download sources are misconfigured.

[Ooooh]

I also had this issue on the Cinnamon version, it now downloads but hangs halfway during installation with no feedback.

Thanks for the info, however I recently upgraded to Vera 21.1 and noticed that Tor is not responding. I unstalled Tor and re-installed which it did fine, but now when I run tor it comes up downloads and verifies and then the window closes and the browser is not there. has anybody seen this issue?? still learning linux
