installing TOR browser on SOLUS linux!

visual appeal of deepinOS has almost no match!

everything was perfect-except installing new softwares! after multiple attempts to get its software-center work, i was defeated!

distrohopped to solusOS!

again... in solus, i had an another, luckily small problem.

installing 'tor browser' was a headache as it was not readily available in SOLUS's software center. a search in its native "software center" took years with no good result.

so, decided to install 'tor' through command line terminal.

 **************

with usual syntax, attempted to install 'tor' straightaway!

sudo eopkg install torbrowser-launcher

**************

but then, it returned with an error!

System error. Program terminated.
(-30973, 'BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- BDB0061 PANIC: Invalid argument')

and another, along with the above!

System error. Program terminated.
(-30973, 'BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery')

 

**************

required a course correction!

System error. Program terminated.
(-30973, 'BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery')

**************

so i had to 'run database recovery'. how?*

sudo eopkg rdb 

**************

this rebuilds the database that is stuck.

once DBRecovery is complete, went for another round of

sudo eopkg install torbrowser-launcher

**************

done! we are good to go!

enjoy onion!😋
