Tor Browser doesn't work in Slackware64-14.2 anymore
by FlinchX from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RQM3)
I have Tor Browser installed through the SBo buildscript. Despite SBo not accepting updates for months, it has been working fine, since it can self-update. Until today. I have noticed it downloaded an update, it restarted and ... nothing. Starting tor-browser from console exits with a 255 return code.
I have assumed that the latest update that Tor Browser downloads must be the same as the binary tarball for Linux that is offered on the Tor Browser site.
I downloaded that and ran it, this is the output:
Code:./start-tor-browser --verbose
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/user/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/libxul.so:
/home/user/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_wayland_display_get_wl_compositor
Couldn't load XPCOM.All I know about wayland is that this is some kind of new thing that is supposed to replace xorg, and that Slackware (14.2 at least) doesn't have it.
What are my options to keep Tor Browser functional? Updating to -current (if Tor Browser happens to work there, which I don't know) is not an option.
