Comment(by dererk):
I meant that you have indeed started Tor daemon in advance.
The Tor software is capable of running under different configurations or
profiles to provide different usages.
Vidalia is configured by default to use Tor's system-wide sessions, that
is, you have a Tor service/daemon running on your machine in advance on
starting Vidalia, so the last one can talk to it nice and easily without
any configuration at all.
Simplest way to do this, by far, is performing this actions:
1. Check whether Tor is running on a system-wide basis -> /etc/init.d/tor
status
2. If it's not, but a list of the processes running shows one, kill it
3. Proceed to start tor's daemon -> /etc/init.d/tor start
4. Then, with your regular X user (NOT ROOT USER!), start Vidalia.
If this fails at some point, please copy&paste everything that its output
on logs (/var/log/tor/log and vidalia's log)
