Hi,

Here's a gentle ping regarding this call for testing: we would love to
have more test results about this. It's not super urgent: if you only
find time to test this later this month or even in August, it will
be useful!

Thanks in advance :)

> 3. Install that USB image to a USB stick, with GNOME Disks or Etcher.
> 4. Start the computer from that USB stick.
> 5. If you see the graphical *Welcome Screen* appear, you can stop here. Else, please follow the next steps.
> 6. Restart on another Linux system that works on this computer. For example, the current Tails release.
> 7. In the *Welcome Screen*, set an Administration Password.
> 8. Run these commands in a Terminal:
>     ```
>     sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
>     sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
>     sudo dmidecode -s system-version
>     lspci -nn
>     ```
> 9. Copy the output of these commands and send it to us: tails-testers@???. Also describe the symptoms you observed at step 5.
