Troubleshooting for automatic upgrades that fail to restart
When users cannot boot after an automatic upgrade, they are directed to the page
https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/error/install/
In this page there are some commands to run, but this commands are meant for a booting Tails:
the output of the five following commands, run in a Terminal:
ls -l /lib/live/mount/medium/live
cat /lib/live/mount/medium/live/Tails.module
mount
df -h
free -m
The user cannot run the broken Tails, so the instructions should be more:
- Start another Tails
- Mount the Tails partition with Disk Utility (not TailsData)
- Report a bug with the output of the five following commands, run in a
Terminal:
ls -lh /lib/live/mount/medium/live
cat /lib/live/mount/medium/live/Tails.module
mount
df -h
free -m
or something like that.
