Tor recently removed their Fedora repos, which leaves the fedora native repo. However, it's not working for me, and never has. Any help would be appreciated, since I depend heavily on the system tor, and the Tor project repos are gone!
What I'm doing: sudo dnf install tor (from fedora) sudo service tor start (or systemctl start tor.service) produces: Job for tor.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tor.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. systemctl status tor.service tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Dec 09 11:59:12 localhost tor[4096]: Dec 09 11:59:12.070 [notice] Read configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc".
