Should I try the following from the tails known issues list? Are there
reasons not to try this?
Persistent folder disappears and persistent feature configurations do not
load
Sometimes, the Persistent folder is missing and the configurations for
persistent features do not load.
Most likely this means that the persistence.conf file has disappeared.
However, the files in the Persistent folder and the persistent feature
configurations should still be saved.
If you encounter this problem:
1.
Enable your encrypted persistent storage in Tails Greeter when you start
Tails.
2.
If you are asked to enter a passphrase, enter the same passphrase that
you used to unlock your persistent storage.
4.
Click Save, then restart Tails.
Your Persistent folder and persistent feature configurations should be
restored.
