intrigeri,
I have a non-UEFI desktop system, that has the same memory wipe issue with Tails 2.4 on a USB flash drive, so, the issue in NOT one that only affects UEFI boot as you mention below.

That's a known issue: see "Tails fails to completely shutdown or restart" on https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/ > Though when running tails from intermediate USB stick the MacBook shuts > down completely along with asterisk signs displayed. Yes, this problem only affects UEFI boot as far as I know. > My actual question is > that do I need to worry about memory not being wiped completely? It may indeed be the case that it's not wiped completely. I doubt it personally, but you can't be 100% certain without actually verifying it, so better assume the worst case. > IF yes what measures can I take for proper wiping of memory. I'm sorry I have no good answer to that, unless you're up to fixing the root cause of this problem in Tails :/ _______________________________________________ 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].
