In general we don't have resources to add support ourselves for specific computers, so we rely on work happening upstream and in Debian. However, if you find out what needs to be added/changed in Tails to fix this, we can certainly check if it's feasible (for example, we could add missing firmware). > So in my case my mouse and keyboard is not reacting after rebooting. In any case, it could be useful to other users to know this is to be expected (via our known issues page). I'm putting you in touch with our Help Desk, who will ask you more information we need for this to happen, starting with… which Microsoft Surface laptop, exactly, as I see there are plenty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface#Surface_Laptop_line ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
[Tails-dev] using tails on microsoft surface
Hi Tails-development team, I hope you’re all good. I’m a big fan of tails and appreciate what you guys doing. Unfortunately tails is not working on my Microsoft surface laptop. I red in reddit that more people have this problem, So I wanted to ask if you can help me with that or if I maybe just have to wait until you update tails to make it Accessable also for newer computers. So in my case my mouse and keyboard is not reacting after rebooting. I would appreciate your help a lot and would be happy to a also be able to use tails on my computer. Thank you very much for your help! -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

[Tails-dev] Using TAILS
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, since a few weeks we are engaged in using TAILS. Many thanks to all those who make sure that we can use this great system for free. A small donation is guaranteed from our side. :-) We have already read a lot on the homepage of TAILS and on other sites, but we still have a few questions. 1) There are very good videos on YT how to install TAILS. We have already written out the procedure and wanted to install TAILS soon. But unfortunately you need two USB sticks for it. Now we have seen on the homepage of TAILS that you can also do this directly in Linux - in the terminal. This is faster and only one USB stick is needed. Not that we only have one USB stick, we find the installation via terminal easier. Do we see it right, that you can only copy the commands and paste them into the terminal? You have to be a little careful to use the right name ... But otherwise we find it easier. We try it. Otherwise we can always take the 2-USB stick variant from YT. 2) We always read that you should NOT use TAILS or the TOR browser with VPN. What do you recommend? Why is it more insecure to use with VPN, should it be the case? Of course, we assume VPN's that have an appropriate reputation and can be classified safe. Otherwise, of course, the situation is clear. 3) Why is the homepage called "tails.boum.org"? Why "boum"? 4) In the persistent folder the data is secure but the folder is visible. Will TAILS eventually come with programs similar to Veracrypt? This would allow the folders to be hidden. Or can these invisible folders be displayed with appropriate software? Would you recommend Varacrypt? For us it's not about vital documents, but more about not presenting a part of our data completely open right away, like on an external hard drive. Without encryption and hiding by e.g. Verascrypt our data is completely open and accessible to everyone. Otherwise we find that there is too much software in TAILS. We are not professionals, but we think that some things could be left out. Thank you for taking the time to read these lines. Please continue with your excellent work.
