SquashFS errors during boot lead to false-positives on graphics card error reports

The following happened to me yesterday:

  • I installed a USB stick using Tails Installer from Tails 3.9.
  • Starting it on my computer leads to GDM error message (Error starting GDM) while my graphics card works fine with Tails.
  • Having a closer look, I have tons of squashfs errors on boot.

I’m aware of #5856 which has been focused on errors while Tor is working (and detecting them from inside Tails). While I’d like to scope this ticket to preventing false-positives on graphics card error reports, while might lead to wrong information on /support/known_issues/graphics and be a problem for the project.
