Autor: random_user Data: A: tails-testers CC: tails-dev Assumpte: [Tails-testers] 2.0~rc1: Installed Partition Hash does Not Match
That of ISO
Hello,
I have found a difference concerning the manual installation to USB
between Tails 2.0~rc1 and previous versions of Tails (including the last
stable release, 1.8.2). With the previous versions, I would always find
that the checksums (sha256;sha1;md5) of the partition of the installed
ISO (/dev/sdX) would match the checksums of the ISO that I had
downloaded (and verified the signature of). Now, after manually
installing Tails 2.0~rc1 onto a USB stick, I have found that the
checksums of the Tails partition do NOT match those of the ISO. Please
note the following relevant facts concerning this discrepancy:
- In all cases, I had verified the ISO against its signature before
installing it to USB
- In order to rule-out an error during the writing from ISO to USB
stick, I repeated the entire process a second time. The result was the
same: the hashes for /dev/sdX (the partition containing the installed
ISO) do NOT match the hashes for the ISO
- The USB stick that I used for the install is one that I have used many
times previously, without issue, to install past releases of Tails--
including 1.8.2
- The OS and hardware that I used were also the same
