Comment(by Christian):
@Linda, I think I have the same issue here:
When I start tor via the initscript, I get the same error:
{{{
Could not launch managed proxy executable at '/usr/bin/obfsproxy'
('Permission denied')
}}}
When I start tor manually via the commandline, it works. I too am using
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and in the system log I just found:
{{{
type=1400 audit(1352141151.479:26): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec"
parent=21625 profile="system_tor" \
name="/usr/bin/obfsproxy" pid=21628 comm="tor" requested_mask="x"
denied_mask="x" fsuid=106 ouid=0
}}}
So it's AppArmor playing games here and somehow we must alter the policy
to allow obfsproxy be started by the init-script. I'm not AppArmor savvy
(yet), but that's the way to go, I suppose. Maybe you see these AppArmor
messages too in your logs?
