In the future you should probably not change your DNS this way. You can open them with nano and get the same thing (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) done but more importantly It might be messing with other services (how? I’m not sure yet, still researching)

I got the DNS changing commands from here:

What does systemd journal have?

Filename can be whatever, it just makes it easier to go thru in less or nano/pluma.

Be careful what commands you follow by whom, they might be right but if not it could exacerbate the problem.

s1udge
None of this is a problem, most of the fatal errors are because those services/bins run at the start of your system and then turn off as they finish what was was required. Having them start while your on your system would give your system a bit of a heart attack. the others are just saying they won’t remove directories because they aren’t empty and some of your files are already installed.

Pluma worked fine sudo, not sure what above log is telling me.

check via main menu what the command to run pluma is should be:
pluma %U

That is correct

a1udge
Did you start anonsurf on top of tor?
Unless I misread, your output seems to show anonsurf working normally. What does anonsurf status give you?
Overmyhead
Notice the growing text in 5552 and 5555. Seems to be trying to create the system. I have let this process run for over an hour. It eventually just stops and leaves the terminal in a running state. No browser connection. (Firefox, Chromium) Tor service never starts except under torbrowser. I have never attempted to run Anonsurf and Torbrowser at the same time.
To be honest, I’m not really concerned about Anonsurf. I have only gotten it to work a couple of times anyway. I have TorBrowser. I am concerned about my internet connection being safe, Without local activity, I get very little communication through wireshark. Pluma, rught now I am using geany for that, as well as to read my txt and rtf, but a fully functioning LibraOffice is kind of a must.

If I did this right, and am reading it right, the terminal says I don’t need the firejail --noprofile to run pluma, Yet when its run regular, the terminal says its working fine, but it never opens, unless run sudo. Same when I click the icon.
s1udge
Thanks, did you recreate the symbolic link?
Overmyhead
Yes, as I posted in the first link:
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf (to remove symolic link), then:
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf.head /etc/resolv.conf (to recreate it with resolve.conf.head)
s1udge
That was why pluma wouldn’t start there was no command in firejail for it to start.
please don’t use sudo for pluma
overmyhead.
I never had to use sudo to run many programs, only tried it to see if it would work. Seems to be some permission problems as well as some firejail problems
s1ludge
You’re missing 70% of your firejail, either you’ve played around a lot with your system . . . or you didn’t see the rest. Next time if you aren’t sure just do
overmyhead
Actually, I “play around” with my system quite often. Thats the easiest way to learn. Hard to learn from someone whose first inclination is to believe that you just did something to screw it up. Again. Freshly installed iso, changed to parrot dns, then sudo dist-upgrade. And again, firejail problems?
s1udge
Uhhh other than having the service re-pasted a bunch there is nothing wrong with anonsurf. . . at least according to the sevice check by systemctl Also your logs are cut off on the side. On pastebin there nothing extra about PID’s 5552 or 5555
You should give a try tunning commands exactly from /usr/bin directory. Try /usr/bin/pluma and /usr/bin/libreoffice. When you run commands like that firejail doesn’t start.
Oddly enough, LibreOffice started working. Pluma and AnonSurf, still down.
The terminal seems to think that command did something, but Pluma never opened. I’ll bet if I ran it sudo it would though.
I also noticed that when I try to shut down at night, that I get a warning that a certain number of programs are still running. I assume these are times when I accidently clicked on a txt file, and Pluma tried to open it, but I had to open it with something else.
