Hello,
I installed Bisq 2 on my Whonix Workstation as described in the official documentation on the whonix wiki.
I am unable to run it. I get the error messages:
Warning, Initialiasing applicationService failed.
And
An error occurred at initializing Bisq: bisq.tor.controller.TorCommandFilteredException.
Is there a known fix for that problem?
Kind regards
Whonix and other privacy OSes are not officially supported, and alas I am not able to give you a solution.
What I can tell you, is that the error derives from the tor service not being correctly initialized.
On tails the issues with tor and bisq derived from the os already having a base tor layer interfering with bisq’s own tor daemon, and that required an elaborate procedure to make the two work together… or something. That guide has since been made useless after a breaking change in Tails.
I do not expect the situation with Whonix to be much different.
