Tails does not start: document workarounds to reach debug information
Originally created by @elouann on #11392 (Redmine)
A user was able to bypass the greeter by removing ‘noautologin’ from the boot options: the desktop loads directly. Then it’s possible to get more informations with ‘sudo tails-debugging’, which works without admin password
This should be added somewhere in the documentation, maybe
here:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/tails_does_not_start/#entirely
The documentation must say that the resulting system will have undefined (and potentially dangerous) behaviour and should not be used for anything else than bug reporting
