I'm experiencing this bug even when I confirm the tor service is stopped (either through `service tor status` or `service tor stop`), so it looks like this may not be the issue.
What's more, running `/usr/sbin/tor` from the command line *does* start tor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680192 Title: Vidalia was unable to start Tor.
