Hi dude, Thanks Sajolida for explaining this. I just had a finding when making Tails USB which might be opposite to your saying..
When I use the official Tails installer either on a Tails OS or on a Debian system, the newly made USB Tails stick has shown a FAT32 file system. Nonetheless I use 'dd' to make the Tails USB stick , it turns out to has a hidden file system. I am curious about this , is it what you designed as such?. ( I prefer a hidden FS on my USB anyway) Thanks a lot for your work.

In https://tails.boum.org/install/debian/usb#install-installer, I wrote that "Tails Installer is available in Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or later in a PPA". You are apparently running Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) and Tails Installer is unfortunately not available for this version of Ubuntu. Still, the note after that points to the instructions for Linux using GNOME Disks which should work for you in Ubuntu Trusty: https://tails.boum.org/install/linux/usb/overview/ > The thing is that even the suggested installation of > the documentation with the command line needs tails installer (it is not > really a pure command line installation).

When using the previous way of installing (using `dd`), the resulting USB could not benefit neither from encrypted persistence nor from automated upgrade. Unless you then installed a second USB stick from it (like we instruct on the instructions for Linux using GNOME Disks linked above). So for people who want persistence and automated upgrades (that's most of our users) the new process using Tails Installer is faster. We didn't wrote specific instructions for older Ubuntu versions as we thought that supporting the last two releases: 15.10 (Wily) and 16.04 (Xenial) was enough as long as we provided a fallback to the generic Linux instructions. The generic Linux instructions rely on GNOME Disks to avoid relying on the command line which is generally considered more complicated by users. But the rest of the process is very similar. _______________________________________________ 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]. _______________________________________________ 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].
