My system tor version 0.2.9.10 (on Ubuntu 16.04) is outputing a lot of the following warnings:

Fetching v2 rendezvous descriptor failed. Retrying at another directory.

Is there some way to fix it? Perhaps there's a way to force tor to fetch the descriptors?

Your version of Tor has bug which causes this messages (see #21056). Version 0.3.0.6 has a partial fix. If you install this version there are high chances that the messages will go away. Currently the developers are working on a full fix (see #17242).

So I would recommend to install a newer version. Please follow the advise at the instruction page for Debian and Ubuntu and add the following line to your sources.list file:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org tor-experimental-0.3.0.x-xenial main

After you updated the repositories you can choose to install the newest version.

  • I'd prefer to wait a bit until tor 0.3.0.6 is stable and I don't have to edit my sources.list. Otherwise it's great advice, thanks!
