I just took a look at the page Stable versions of tor Then I typed into the terminal:
liberty@liberty-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install tor
[sudo] password for liberty:
Reading package lists... Done

Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package tor has no installation candidate
liberty@liberty-desktop:~$
So, I wasn’t successful. To get a Tor release, I have to modify the following line:
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main
I have to know the name of the Ubuntu 9.04 release. It is Jaunty Jackalope. I may have to type:
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main
But this didn’t work out. So I have to find a different way. Maybe I have to modify a file with the sources. Well, I find it too complicated at the moment. I might succeed. But I am using Ubuntu because it is user friendly. Why is it so complicated to install Tor? Maybe I should take a look at this blog post.
I tried the following line:
liberty@liberty-desktop:~$ sudo -i
But now I will try something different (found at http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.04-p2 ):
liberty@liberty-desktop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[sudo] password for liberty:
Well I don’t want to modify /etc/apt/sources.list at the moment. It is too much work. So I will continue to surf without Tor.
This might be the key:
“Tor just updated their repos to reflect jaunty….
http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/dists/
The repos would be
Code:
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main”
