Okay, so here is a weird one. I've been using tork since KDE3, about the year 2005 or so. Once I got it configured, I've experienced hardly any issues; only when I upgrade, then sometimes a few packages change, and I make adjustments, but that's about it. My configuration has stayed pretty much the same ever since then. About a year ago, I responded to a thread started by Andre (search for the heading "tork-trinity - my config"); that has been my basic configuration since for ever. But now suddenly I get a message that tork-trinity fails to start privoxy. I tried restarting it manually in a shell, and here's what I get: sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart [FAIL] Restarting filtering proxy server: privoxy failed! I checked sysv-rc-conf, and I generally leave tor and privoxy unchecked at all run levels, because I like to start it up myself. Otherwise, whenever I started tork, I couldn't connect, and would have to kill tor, tork and privoxy, anyway, so it has always worked better by starting it manually. It occurs to me that maybe this has some connection to my recent upgrade (following that recent thread, "how to install TDE pkgs *without* kerberos-heimdal-ldap?"). Michele resolved that issue, and now I don't have any problems with kerberos or changing my passwords. I upgraded using the PTB repository. However, I had already noticed some odd behavior earlier when I was using the stable builds. (It seemed that privoxy was not starting, but everything still worked; however my download speeds were greatly increased, obviously because I am not using privoxy.) Not that I am engaging in any Internet activity that is suspect or dangerous (so far as I know), but it would be nice to keep my privacy intact. These days, it's hard to tell what is paranoia and what is just reasonable caution. Does anybody have some idea what may have changed, since I have not changed my configuration since TDE prehistory? Thanks for any help!
