# Problem
Listed in https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.8/#graphics.
- Some were solved by #18467.
- Some others could be solved in Tails 6.0 based on Debian Bookworm and its new Mesa stack.
- Some others might never get fixed.
# Workaround
These graphics card probably don't work as good on Wayland as they used to work on X.Org.
For some graphics cards, we have workarounds documented on https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.8/#graphics.
We hope that this gets fixed in Tails 6.0.Tails_5.11intrigeriintrigerihttps://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19325Split FAQ in separate pages2022-12-20T14:00:46Zsajolidasajolida@pimienta.orgSplit FAQ in separate pagesI wonder if splitting each question of the FAQ into a separate page would improve SEO.

*The package created what created two directories:*
Created two direcories `/home/amnesia/.local/lib/python3.9` and `/home/amnesia/.local/bin`.
but when trying the python executable name says not found but the bin does exist in the `/home/amnesia/.local/bin` folder. Furthermore cd'ing into the folder and typing ./packagename works but executing it without `./` does not.
What would one need to do to get it to work correctly? install to different dir with pip3.
**To persist the pip3 packages correctly and in your `persistence.conf` what would you need to do?**
`echo -e '/home/amnesia/.local/lib/python3.9 source=python3.9' | sudo tee -a /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/persistence.conf > /dev/null`

The fact that I was observing them and asking them concrete tasks might have created an artificial situation that prevented this. Still, 2 people navigated out of the installation instructions to the /about to answer my question about metadata.
So, I wonder if we could still improve the placement of the warnings on the installation instructions, for example:
1. Right now the warnings are in-between 2 clear actions (download and verify). Maybe it would help to put all the informative content first (overview and warnings) and then only all the actions (download, verify, and install).
2. We could then add some JS magic to display the rest of the instructions only after clicking a button below the overview and the warnings.sajolidasajolida@pimienta.orgsajolidasajolida@pimienta.orghttps://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19197Move 2nd success note earlier in the installation instructions2024-02-12T13:37:41Zsajolidasajolida@pimienta.orgMove 2nd success note earlier in the installation instructionsDuring #18784, none of the participants saw the second success note.
