intrigeri,

This provides some info. See the "Naming and brands" table for affected 
laptops: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accupoint

Could you please point me to what this "accupoint" thing is?
A DuckDuckGo search yields many results that seem unrelated.

One way to solve this is to have your post-login script wait for
tails-additional-software-install.service to have started. Once this
is done, the Additional Software are installed.

[Tails-dev] inclusion of xinput in the main build of Tails

2018-09-19 Thread HumMy
Hello, i'm requesting the inclusion of xinput into the build.

i need this software in the main build because i have a laptop with accupoint 
that keeps the mouse moving all the time making touchpad impossible to use.
with xinput i can disable the accupoint altogether restoring the usability.

most people with laptops with accupoint suffer from this problem, that is 
usually overcome with the option to disable accupoint on usb mouse detection in 
the windows mouse configuration.

On linux this is done with xinput, and so you can list and then disable the 
offending input device.

via persistence options, you can have it installed, but not available at login 
time and so you can't really use the dotfiles feature to script your way 
through because the program won't be installed when the scripts are run.

so i request the inclusion of this tiny package so that i can get Tails working 
flawlessly on mature hardware.

[Tails-dev] Tor Browser 8.0.1 is ready for testing

2018-09-19 Thread Georg Koppen
Hi!

We are happy to announce that our first point release in our 8.0 series
is ready for testing. Bundles can be found at:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.0.1-build1/

We used the 8.0.1 release to ship the new stable Tor (0.3.4.8) which
solves an annoying crash bug on older macOS systems (10.9.x).

We furthermore found a better solution to our User Agent treatment: on
desktop platforms Tor Browser will send a Windows User Agent at the
network level while still allowing to query the unspoofed User Agent
with JavaScript. This takes concerns about any server passively logging
the User Agent into account while still avoiding broken websites as good
as we can.

Finally, we included a banner for signing up to Tor News which allows
anyone to stay up-to-date about things going on in the Tor universe
(which is, admittedly, sometimes hard to keep track of).

Below is the full changelog since 8.0:

Tor Browser 8.0.1 -- September 20 2018
 * All platforms
   * Update Tor to 0.3.4.8
