A bit of Unix sysadmin lore that isn't as widely advertised as it once<br>
was (because, thankfully, it comes up far less often than it used to):<br>
there are only three reasons why a process would remain in an<br>
uninterruptible sleep for more than a few milliseconds: an abnormally<br>
slow storage peripheral (e.g. a tape drive being rewound, or a hard<br>
drive that's about to fail), a network file server that isn't<br>
responding to messages, or a kernel bug.<br>

Dear all,<br>
I want to setup my machine as a tor relay. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on<br>
a Intel i5 processor with 4 GB of memory.<br>
I followed the instructions given on this link<br>
<<a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide</a>>, but was<br>
getting some issue. In one of the later steps, it says "Verify that your<br>
relay works". This is done by checking my logfile(syslog) contains the<br>
following text:<br>
<br>
"Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside.<br>
Excellent. Publishing server descriptor."<br>
<br>
I checked the syslog by the command:<br>
<br>
$ cat /var/log/syslog<br>
<br>
<br>
To bring it to your knowledge, I have followed all the previous steps<br>
mentioned on that link<br>
<<a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide</a>>, and was<br>
successfully able to execute all the commands. I would request you to<br>
please help me out in setting up my machine as a relay to make tor network<br>
faster and more usable.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Yash Kumar<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
first of all: Thanks for your efforts.<br>
<br>
Although you didn't actually mention it, I'll assume that you didn't find the <br>
"Self-testing" line in /var/log/syslog. Is that correct? If so, please check <br>
first whether Tor has started at all by running the following command:<br>
<br>
$ sudo systemctl status tor<br>
<br>
Please copy the output of that command.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, maybe also the following happened to you when you wanted to <br>
check whether your relay works:<br>
<br>
$ cat /var/log/syslog<br>
cat: /var/log/syslog: Permission denied<br>
<br>
If that's the case, please retry with:<br>
<br>
$ sudo cat /var/log/syslog<br>
<br>
If I didn't cover your problem here, please be more specific in what actually <br>
doesn't work.<br>
