I agree with James' approach. Tor simply need to run at least once before we start showing Hidden service information. If hidden service information is not available we need to show that state appropriately to the user. I have just merged a pull request made upstream by James along these lines[1]. I have tested the changes and things seem to work okay. I have stopped tor, ensured hidden services are enabled and remove the hidden service information directory and tried to view status in Plinth. This time we are handling the case properly. Please check that this is okay. Links: 1) https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/pull/21 -- Sunil
