Re: Cant start Tor Browser

As user try starting /usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher from a gui-terminal and post the output .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Cant start Tor Browser

Did you run the command /usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher or systemctl start usr-bin-torbrowsert?
If you did the former try running /usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher in your terminal just like it's type don't add systemctl start to the begining of the command, if it was the later try posting the contents of /usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher , mine looks like this (minus a long comment):
#!/usr/bin/python

import torbrowser_launcher
torbrowser_launcher.main()

Re: Cant start Tor Browser

You must install the torbrowser-launcher package with pacman.
