Tails Installer should not break emergency shutdown
sajolida reports:
- it seems to happen after using the liveusb-creator
- it happened on both Tails 0.10.1 and Tails experimental
- sometimes it happens while doing:
- boot Tails experimental on a isohybrid
- "Clone Tails" onto another stick
- unplug the running Tails
- sometimes the screen turns black with a cursor on the top-left corner and nothing else
- sometimes the screen stays the same, the system is still somehow responsive but doesn’t shutdown
- once I couldn’t even shutdown with the red button or by doing
sudo halt
in a terminal once I reached this weird state - once I checked and udev-watchdog was still running on the right device but the emergency shutdown still didn’t work
intrigeri confirms: On VT1, when unplugging my boot USB stick, I see various lines about sdb3, sdb2 and sdb1 being removed, followed by "Bus error". Nothing more happens, and the udev watchdog process is not there anymore.
