See comments on the ticket. I give up, please somebody else have > a look. I ended up looking at this today and found the cause of our issue (basically there is a bug in either GIO or GVFS).

It is interesting to have a look at Google Trends for SELinux versus AppArmor: http://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22selinux%22+%22apparmor%22#q=selinux%2C%20apparmor&cmpt=q (I still prefer SELinux.)

[Tails-dev] Please review'n'merge feature/linux-3.10.11
Hi, Linux was updated in Debian unstable a few days ago. This update fixes a few security issues and a bunch of bugs. I think we should ship it in Tails 0.20.1. => please review feature/linux-3.10.1, and merge it into devel. (I've already taken the liberty to merge it into stable because I'm preparing the 0.20.1 ISO right now, but this can still be reverted or improved if needed.)

[Tails-dev] Please review doc update wrt. problematic USB sticks
Hi, as we are seeing more and more bug reports about problematic USB sticks (mostly due to the fact they don't expose themselves as removable devices, which is — unfortunately — right according to the standards, although totally new TTBOMK), I felt the need to explain how to diagnose this boot failure mode, how it can be workaround'd temporarily, and why this is dangerous: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/tails_does_not_start/#entirely I also started a list of problematic USB sticks: https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/#problematic-usb-sticks I'm not very happy with how the tails_does_not_start/#entirely flow is after my addition, but I am unsure how it could be improved. Doc writers, please review and suggest improvements if needed :) Cheers, -- intrigeri | GnuPG key @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/intrigeri.asc | OTR fingerprint @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/otr.asc ___ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
