Tor issue on Aurora
Having hard time setting up tor on Aurora-DX. Anybody had same or has idea, what is wrong? Tor is installed by using fedora package torbrowser-launcher. That one together with tor and torsocks package is installed without any issues, but the service cannot start:
Active: failed (Result: exit-code)
Invocation:
Process: 28738 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/tor --runasdaemon 0 --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/defaults-torrc -f /etc/tor/torrc --verify-config (code=exited, status=226/NAMESPACE)
When I run the command manually as sudo, it works.

Configuration was valid
It is configured to use /var/lib/tor, which does not exist. I tried to create that one manually ad assigning it to toranon user and group, but no luck there.
When I spin up VM on clean Aurora and install it there, it works without issues. The tor on host PC is build via Blue Build, could it be related?
Will be happy for any tips, thanks a lot.
