Is there a way that I can make sure that the auto update is happening? Thank you. --Keifer On Mon, May 27, 2019 at 3:55 PM teor <teor@riseup.net> wrote:

So I am now auto upgrading tor using the method at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide/DebianUbuntuUpda...

Upon testing, this is what I got.

…

No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-removals

What I am attempting to do is automatically install new tor versions when they are released. Will this do that automatically? How can I keep this process running?

Step 4 of the instructions runs the process automatically every day.

You will also need to follow these instructions to get the latest tor version:

From my last email:

When I tried updating tor I got a message saying that was the

newest version.

It looks like you're on Debian or Ubuntu, please follow these instructions

to update:

Upon trying to open that folder, I got this. var/log/unattended-upgrades: No such file or directory Strange, I followed all of the directions on the tor project link I provided earlier exactly, wonder why that might be. Is there any other way to check this? thank you. --Keifer On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 1:46 AM <lists@for-privacy.net> wrote:

reading the logfiles in: var/log/unattended-upgrades

Note: Integrate server via ftps in konqueror as a network folder and everything is readable in the filemanager.

logwatch may be something you can look at.

Try a leading slash: /var/log/unattended-upgrades

sorry, slash was lost when I copy & paste. :-( If you want to read as user the files in /var/log/ $ usermod -aG adm user have a look: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2019-May/017311.html -- Ciao Marco!

;-) Only root can read the logfiles. You have to use sudo or su. Or you as a user are a member of the group 'adm'. Then you can read some and open the folder: '/var/log/unattended-upgrades'. Therefore the tip in the last message. EXAMPLE: user@tor-proxy-02:~$ cd /var/log/unattended-upgrades user@tor-proxy-02:/var/log/unattended-upgrades$ ls -la total 28 drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4096 Jun 1 06:25 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jun 3 06:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Jun 1 06:25 unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 403 May 15 06:18 unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 333 May 11 06:10 unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 800 Jun 3 06:39 unattended-upgrades.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1234 Jun 1 06:01 unattended-upgrades.log.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 673 Apr 30 06:06 unattended-upgrades.log.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:13 unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log user@tor-proxy-02:/var/log/unattended-upgrades$ sudo nano unattended-upgrades.log

Google Cloud does not include a desktop interface in their Debian VPS so I am having to use nano to open everything. Thanks.

Not on the server. ;-) In the filemanager on your home system. I can read my serverfile systems just like my files on the hard disk. My everyday OS is Debian GNU/Linux. Most filemanager on *BSD, GNU/Linux and Unix systems should be able to do ftps or (File transfer over SSH). In konqueror & Dolphin = FISH protocol. I only use PubkeyAuthentication on the servers! Then you do not have to log in on the console to read the log files. https://www.binarytides.com/ssh-dolphin-konqueror-kde/ Ciao Marco!
