Bug#860297: Patch

[bernd]

Please understand, the problem is not, to run multiple Tor Browsers as the same user. The problem is to run multiple Tor Browsers, each from a different user at the same time on the same machine.

But each user needs his own SOCKSPORT and CONTROLPORT.






But I hope it will be fixed by upstream.

After investigation I found, that this is because of a fixed SOCKSPORT and and fixed CONTROLPORT. To fix this, the upstream script which is installed at ~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_de/Browser/start-tor-browser has to be changed for each user. The patch is attached. The patch first searches for free ports and then modifies the config files to use the free ports. I have build a wrapper script for torbrowser-launcher to apply the patch, if it isn't already applied.
