Hey all,

Anyone have experience connecting to dorm wifi while using tails? The WiFi requires registration of my laptop, which I have completed, but when I boot tails, the WiFi will not connect because of, I believe, Mac spoofing. Will turning off Mac spoofing fix this issue? And will it be safe? Or is there any alternative?

Thank you for the advice.

Hey guys,

Need some help here. I tried booting Tails from a USB stick on my Lenovo ThinkBook, but every time I select the drive I just end up stuck in the GRUB menu instead of actually launching Tails.

I disabled Secure Boot in BIOS and enabled USB boot, then flashed the ISO with Rufus on Windows. Selected the stick via F12, but it just loops back to GRUB.

Is this a known issue with ThinkBooks or Rufus? Should I just wipe the stick and try balenaEtcher instead?

Thanks!

i downloaded tails and tried everything form tails troubleshoot to writing and blacklisting amd from the boot settings and then i tried in the bios the uma frame buffer size to 2 g but nothing i came to the conclusion that i have a problem woth the grafic interface because this linux distro is missing some specific firmare to turn on my screen but im not sure could someone help me or it’s over until tails will do some changes in the kernel

Each and every single time I boot feather after booting tails it scans 23k+ blocks and takes hours up to a day to fully sync. It is not safe to leave my computer running tails like this.

How to fix?

Hi folks,

I’ve spend couple of hrs and figured out tails on usb for MacBook Air with intel core.

The problems I fixed:

- persistent storage: because I wanna use my cake wallet I wanted persistent storage. Every-Time I boot the change that persists storage get unlocks w/o error is 50%

- changed many configs for security blah blah to be able to boot

- Mouse and Keyboard: needed to find an external one and connect it with cable. Did it

- Internet: now I have to rather connect to my phone (I don’t want to) or buy an external WiFi drive. Which I’m on edge buying.

I’m thinking now at the end of it with all trouble should I go and buy a small laptop (not Mac) or desktop since I have a monitor. What do you all think? Should I give up MacBook Air and if so what should I get that I don’t regret and doesn’t break the bank? I do not mind either desktop or laptop.

I'm currently using a dual setup with WIndows10 and linux mint . I'm an activist and recently got to know about tailsOS . I have a few question -

1. My goal is simple , i wanna stay hidden from the government . Make posts on reddit and use simplex chat . SImplex is already pretty secure so the only real issue is reddit

2. I had a reddit account earlier that i used, but later on i realize how big of a dumbfu*k i am . So now i'm planning to use tails to surf the web and make a gmail account and then a reddit account using the same . All inside tails . Is this a good plan . As upon creation of the account and posting . Both will be hidden through TOR

3. I'll obv take care of not making human errors , but how secure is the metadata protection with tails even while surfing the web

And overall does my plan seem sensible enough . Or is there something else to take care of

Heya! Tails and linux newbie here, i was wondering why its advised to avoid using a ststem that has a graphics card? Im not expecting to actually play games or anything on tails it is just the only system I have at the moment and dont want to go invest in a new to me laptop before actually using tails

Thank you for your time

I have downloaded the ISO for burning to DVD and "verified" it THREE times! I have WASTED three dvds on this thing! When I open the DVD up to simply view the files on it, all of the same ones show up. I can boot many other distros from DVD! But, this one simply will _NOT_! Windows winds up taking over and going ahead and booting up.

WHY is this NOT working?????😒

I remember TailsOS used to be an .iso like all other distros, that you could either direct download or torrent.

Now it's an .img file and only available for direct download.

Why the changes?

Is there a fix for this?

After the welcome screen appears my keyboard and mouse stop working and I can't do anything help. I tried the other modes during boot but they didn't help

After pressing F9, USB Hard drive (USB), it took me to this screen

I installed the lasted version of Tails OS. But after I shut down my computer and tried to boot up. It said there was "invalid Signature ". I there something in the settings I'm supposed to do?

Bonjour, une idée de wallet pour monero sécurisé a utiliser sur tail ?

Seems like the function for downloading the USB image for Tails is down right now. Anyone else experiencing this?

I currently have a 64GB USB drive with Kali Linux installed on it.

Is it possible to install Tails on the same USB by creating separate partitions, so I can have both Kali Linux and Tails on one drive?

If yes:

- Will the bootloader recognize both operating systems separately?

- Can I choose between Kali and Tails when booting?

- Is this a supported and reliable setup, or are there any limitations or issues I should be aware of?

I'd appreciate any advice or guides from people who have tried this.
