Hi,
our first USB images that support Secure Boot are out!
Under the hood, they include two major technical changes:
- switch the boot loader from syslinux to GRUB for EFI boot
- switch from aufs to overlayfs
Please consider testing them :)
Here's how:
1. Download the USB image (.img) from
https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_feature-6560-secure-boot/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/
2. Install the downloaded USB image to a spare USB stick,
using Etcher (Windows, macOS) or GNOME Disks (Linux).
3. Start from this USB stick on various computers
In particular, we're interested in test results on:
- computers configured to start in EFI mode
- computers with Secure Boot enabled
- Apple computers, especially recent MacBooks where current Tails
releases don't start (#17049)
4. Do as much exploratory testing as you would like
5. Report back success or failure to this public mailing list:

Cheers,
