I confirm this. It is not a bug or something like that, simply Privoxy is not configured to use Tor. Synaptic should configure it (IMHO).
To use Tor and torbutton through Privoxy: 1. Install tor and privoxy from your package manager. 2. Edit privoxy's configuration file: /etc/privoxy/config and replace all content with this default settings: # Generally, this file goes in /etc/privoxy/config # # Tor listens as a SOCKS4a proxy here: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . confdir /etc/privoxy logdir /var/log/privoxy actionsfile standard # Internal purpose, recommended actionsfile default # Main actions file actionsfile user # User customizations filterfile default.filter # Don't log interesting things, only startup messages, warnings and errors #logfile logfile #jarfile jarfile #debug 0 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings debug 8192 # Errors - *we highly recommended enabling this* user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118 toggle 1 enable-remote-toggle 0 enable-edit-actions 0 enable-remote-http-toggle 0 buffer-limit 4096 3. Restart privoxy to apply the changes: "sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart" 4. Install torbutton from the firefox's add on site, because the torbutton package in synaptic is obsolete... On ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) this "issue" is not "fixed".
