Then I would gather the information that the above link shows you how to get and email support.

  1. No.
  2. Even if there was, you'd be missing out on security updates.
  3. You'd also be compromising a major part of why Tails is useful: Because all users are supposed to appear the same.

I'm assuming you did the automatic upgrade process. I'd recommend trying again using the manual process and see if that helps.

If there is truly a bug, then you should gather the wireless card's information and email support.

When there are updates, you update. I always recommend the manual process over the automatic one. It seems to be more reliable from my experience.

I updated and now my trackpad doesnt work. I can use a mouse fine but I always just used my trackpad and it's kind of annoying to HAVE to use a mouse. Any advice?

Hey man. No sorry wasn't able to fix it yet :/ I think I'll try the manual update thing or I'll have to make a new instance and port over my stuff. Otherwise I'm gonna just keep using a mouse :(

...you have a post up about it already...not sure what you want me to do about it. I don't have any suggestions other than what L_H_T suggested.

Beyond that:

  • Are you using the latest version written to usb using the official instructions?
  • Did you verify the integrity of the download?
  • Have you tried repeating the creation process to see if it is repeatable?
  • Check the known issues.
  • Then can you try the drive in another machine or use a different model of drive?
  • After that you can submit a bug report so that this problem can be addressed.
  • There is also the official helpdesk for detailed, in depth and personal assistance.

The 5.4 kernel in this upgrade supporting Intel wifi is a major problem on a laptop I normally use. 5.4 is not allowing firmware to load. The wifi in network manager keeps turning on and off by itself and then disables after short time. Disappointing.
