Having trouble getting it to work consistently #35

Closed AZIPPO closed 6 months ago

AZIPPO commented 6 months ago

it seems to build fine but then in the last stage when I get to burn it to USB it returns this after a very brief burn. Seeing some improvements with tails 20 instead of 22.

If you run DTails again, it will show you a new button from which you can remove everything done.

Once you have done that, please do this and send me the needed back here.

To me, seems like the flash drive you are using do not have any partition on it. You can try create a new partition with GParted for example. Then do it again.

Thanks. had one USB that flashed strangely but have managed to repartition it smaller with success. I managed to get DTails to work by using an older version of linux as above. When I do my next round of them, which might be a while off, I will send you the details as above. Thanks !
