I understand that you are running GNU/Linux. Then refer to our documentation on virt-manager which is the only solution that we document for using persistence and virtual machines: https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/virt-manager It works with either physical or virtual USB sticks. -- sajolida _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
