I can’t boot into tails from a usb on the framework laptop.
I feel like I have tried everything, but cant seem to get it to work. I have made multiple tails usbs that all boot on my other laptops.
It is also not a discovery problem, I can find the usb, and choose to boot into tails on it. Then tails will not load.
It did load, and functioned properly like the second or third time time I tried, but since then no luck. I have tried like 50 more times while troubleshooting, but nothing since.
Its driving me crazy because I know its possible being that it did work that one time…
is anyone else able to run Tails?
or has anyone run into similar issues and found any answers?
I also seem unable to get Tails to boot. Tried 3 different types of USB drive, 2 of which work on other machines, yet they don’t work on the Framework. I either get the “unable to find a medium containing a live file system” error, or it freezes when the three dots appear during boot. I’ve disabled Secure Boot but nothing has changed. I’ll see if I can find other USB drives to use and can report back if something works.
4th time lucky! It seems to depend on the USB drive being used. I’ve now switched to a Toshiba 8GB drive and booted into it a few times without issue. Previously, I was trying with 2 types of Kingston drives (one of which Tails themselves say has issues) and some unbranded one.
Interesting… Thats so weird, i have tried multiple different usbs, they all work on my other laptops. Seems like we are having the exact same problem. i will try a couple other usbs and see if they work.
There is no compatibility issues with the drives on the framework except that they wont boot, works perfectly for all other purposes. (i even tried with the framework expansion card and no luck booting)
