Hello Muntasim! From your description I'm guessing this might be a port collision problem. "debian-tor" is a special user you can create to run the tor process and it defaults the socks host to port 9050. Vidalia is a different software which AFAIK has been discontinued and runs its own tor instance. If both are running and configured to use the same socks host, the second one wouldn't be able to handle the port which is in use by a different process. So the question is, how did you install tor? -- André N. Batista GNUPG/PGP KEY: 6722CF80
