Chroot browsers don't work when Tails is manually installed with YUMI
Originally created by @kytv on #9115 (Redmine)
If YUMI is used to manually install Tails, the chrooted browsers
(unsafe-browser
, i2p-browser
) will not work.
amnesia@amnesia:~$ sudo unsafe-browser
* Setting up chroot
/usr/local/sbin/unsafe-browser: 53: /usr/local/sbin/unsafe-browser: cannot open /lib/live/mount/medium/live/Tails.module: No such file
mount: mount point /var/lib/unsafe-browser/chroot/proc does not exist
unsafe-browser: error: Failed to setup chroot.
The problem in this case is that after installing Tails with YUMI,
/lib/live/mount/medium/live/Tails.module
is located at
/lib/live/mount/medium/multiboot/tails-i386-1.3.1/live/Tails.module
which cannot work.
The manual instructions for Windows
(https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/windows/index.en.html)
say to use Universal USB Installer
. Perhaps we should document
(somewhere) that YUMI
(http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/) should
not be used.
(And/Or) perhaps there could be a refactoring done—as long as it
wouldn’t be too painful or too hackish—so that
$blah/live/Tails.module
will work regardless of the value of $blah
.
