I use Tails 0.18 on an USB stick with persistent storage. I enabled everything from the menu including a couple of more folders. So far so good.
# KeePassX, Gedit customizations I configured KeePassX and Gedit. Next time they are back to the defaults. I have checked everything I could for the persistent volume. # Keyboard settings Keyboard gets set on the welcome screen. Only that I run something more like a system on a stick. I want to help it remember the keyboard which would help with the password as well. Also, I usually use an enhanced keyboard. The same 105 hardware keys, but more combinations leading to more printed signs. Can I put it somewhere on the persistent storage and make Tails load that up at startup? # Persistent storage on a different stick I thought about having Tails on DVD, yet the persistent storage on a stick. Is it possible to have something like that in the next versions? Or have it on an USB and the persistent storage on another USB? # Backup of the persistent storage One way would be to copy it bit by bit. It takes time. A lot of time. But the result should be ok. At least in theory. One can make an encrypted container and dump the contents of the $HOME/Persistent. But the keys would have to be exported and imported by hand. Also, there would be no settings or extra apps. Is there a way to backup the persistent data? In case the stick gets broken, the distro can be restored quickly. But not the rest. # Strange event Day one: everything was smooth. Day two: Tails was freezing. A couple of random times at the first choice in the GUI, the one with setting up a root pass. But almost every time when trying to connect to the Wifi box. As long as I would not try to connect it would freeze a few times, but not all the time. I even tried with another Wifi card, USB, plugged in. I removed from seahorse the password. It would freeze at the time of entering the Wifi password. At night it stopped happening. No logical explanation. And I don't believe in UFOs. Only thing I could link was a suspended on disk Windows session. After restarting windows and shutting down clean Tails was working well. But on Day one I am not sure, but I assume Windows was suspended. I know you can't fix it unless it's a common problem. But what do I do to come up with relevant information for you to fix next time it happens, if ever?
