Comments
Thanks for reporting the issue. After attempting to generate the key, can you check Sorry for all the questions. Trying to gather information. |
Thank you for your feedback!
No. I am not using a Virtual Machine.
Yes I am able to generate a key with Pidgin in the same machine.
Yes, the system is ok. The other applications are running normally, but the nothing happens with the "Generating screen".
No. |
Hi, I have a new Error Console Message (Now after clearing the error console log):
|
@psanders1 Nice! Thank you. Is your system 32 or 64 bit? |
32 bit |
I see ... well, that helps. I'll need to find a 32 bit Windows machine to test on. Thanks! |
Hmm, I had no issues on a 32 bit Windows 8 VM. @psanders1 How adept are you at debugging? Could you add this statement |
@azadi Tested in a 32 bit Windows 10 VM, also no issue. |
Here is the Error Console, the code change I did is below. Is it correct?
Code change I did:

Yup, looks great, thanks. So, https://lists.cypherpunks.ca/pipermail/otr-dev/2015-March/002323.html I'll try and think about "next steps" here. Thanks for helping out so far. |
Btw, when did you last try that? Can you confirm that's still working for you now. Can you think of anything specific to your environment that might be causing this issue? Finally, can you download the latest version of Tor Messenger and install it in a different directory (we should keep the broken one around to try and get to the heart of the problem). https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorMessenger#Downloads Then try generating a key again. Sorry this isn't working out so well for you. I really appreciate your help in debugging. |
I have just tried to generate a key with Pidgin with a new account in the same machine and it worked as before, that is, generated the private key without any problems. I really do not know anything specific in my environment that might be causing this issue. I also downloaded the latest version of Tor Messenger in a different directory and tried to generate the private key again, but the error persists. |
Hmm, just thought of something. Can you try putting the statement on L224 as well. Like this,
That'll help us distinguish whether the error is happening while generating the key in |
Hi, Here is the error console after changing the code:

Ok, so the problem isn't generating the key, it's saving it to disk. Where are you installing the application? What's the path? If you haven't already, try installing it on your desktop where the application would have privilege to create files. |
I have just installed in my desktop and the problem persisted. Thank you a lot for your attention and help! |
Aha! Glad we got to the bottom of it. I'm going to reopen the task because we can definitely improve the error messages here and we should be able to handle UTF8 paths. |
@psanders1 I pushed a fix for this issue. Look for it in the next Tor Messenger release. Thanks again for reporting. |
Hi,
I have installed Tor Messenger and I created an XMPP account (jabber.calyxinstitute.org), but I am unable to create the private key by OTR preferences screen. the system is waiting a long time and does not finish the process.
My operating system is Windows 10.
Please help me.
Regards
