OnionShare recently stopped working in Tails and I'm trying to fix it.
Here is the issue:
https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/issues/179
Specifically, OnionShare is able to connect to the Tor control port, but
when it tries to create a hidden service it now causes the entire tor
process to crash, and it looks like this is related to Tor sandbox
warnings. You can look at the issue on github to see the full tor logs,
but basically there are a handful of "sandbox_intern_string(): Bug: No
interned sandbox parameter found for /var/lib/tor/tmpBuBZmk" errors
(/var/lib/tor/tmpBuBZmk being the hidden service dir), ending with a
crash: "(Sandbox) Caught a bad syscall attempt (syscall open)".
While searching for how to solve this I've only found a small handful of
closed tor bugs that were all resolved with patches to tor itself, like:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12041
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12035
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12064
So I can find very little information about what's causing this or how
to fix it. Anyone here know?
