IRC Channel #tails Gateway Report
From: Mar. 15, 2014 To: Mar. 21, 2014


*** Documentation and Website:

User requested support/documentation on how to setup a
scanner

Users still are not getting the message/information that Wget
is included in Tails and *is Torified* and can be used to download
Tails as opposed to using TorBrowser to download the Tails iso.
Using Wget seems to fix the many reports of a *bad signature* when
verifying the iso (due to a truncated iso file) when using the
browser DL method. ==> maybe this should be stressed more on the
website or download page, that wget is an option to DL Tails isos.

*** Call for testing:

<< no comments >>

*** Issues:

1 report of 0.23 still raising a notification to upgrade
after the upgrade was performed

1 report, user had a USB HDD and a USB stick plugged in at
the same time when he installed Tails and the Tails installer
installed Tails onto *both* devices, the user lost his backup
drive with all his data. User said the HDD device did not show
up in the Installer dropdown list, so he thought it was ok.

1 User bought a new computer to use specifically for Tails, said
he read the website before buying, computer didn't work with Tails
user was pretty mad, said the UEFI/Windows 8 information about not
booting Tails was not displayed well enough on the website or
known issues page.

*** Known Issues:

1 report that 0.23 didn't wipe memory on shutdown on a users machine
(sorry, no details)

*** Features:

<< no comments >>

*** Potential FAQ questions:

<< no comments >>

*** Miscellaneous:

There have been reports of people using a program
called  Rufus  http://rufus.akeo.ie  to create a
bootable USB (the manual method) it succeeds where
UUI (Universal USB Installer) fails and just leaves
a black screen with blinking cursor at boot

Alot of praise and thanks for the 0.23 release,
especially for the implementation of macchanger by
default

There was a lot of interest in MAT (metadata anonymization
toolkit) this week :)



--Cheers!
