intrigeri,
I tested the 0705T1551Z release on both laptops and my Mintbox Mini.
Image file verified so:
$ cat tails-build-artifacts.shasum | grep .img | shasum -c -
tails-amd64-feature_buster-3.17-20190705T1551Z-20a18502e8+devel@???: OK
Image file written using Gnome Disks (see attached).
0705T1551Z expanded and booted without fault on each of the three platforms. No hint of the previously noted issues. Brief testing suggested a healthy TailsOS in each case.
regards,
alienpup
