en	New Persistent Storage

en	After 2 years of hard work, we are extremely proud to present you a complete redesign of the Persistent Storage.

en	The Persistent Storage hasn't changed much since its first release in 2012 because the code was hard to modify and improve. But, we learned from users that the Persistent Storage could do a lot more for you if it had more features and was easier to use.

en	[[!img create.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	[[!img configure.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	You don't have to restart anymore after creating the Persistent Storage or each time you activate a new feature.

en	You can change the password of your Persistent Storage from this new application.

en	You can choose to create a Persistent Storage directly from the Welcome Screen, if you don't have one already.
de	Sie können direkt vom Willkommensbildschirm aus einen persistenten Speicher erstellen, wenn Sie noch keinen haben.

en	Wayland and better Unsafe Browser

en	We replaced the deprecated X.Org display system with Wayland.

en	Even if you won't notice any visual difference, Wayland brings more security in depth to Tails by making it harder for a compromised application in Tails to compromise or misuse another application.

en	For example, since [[Tails 4.8|news/version_4.8]], the *Unsafe Browser* was disabled by default because a security vulnerability in another application in Tails could start an invisible *Unsafe Browser*, reveal your IP address, and [[deanonymize you|doc/anonymous_internet/unsafe_browser#security]].

en	Wayland fixes this vulnerability and makes it safe to reenable the *Unsafe Browser* by default. You can still disable the *Unsafe Browser* in the Welcome Screen.

en	Wayland also brings in other features that were not working yet in the *Unsafe Browser*:

en	- Sound - Uploads and downloads - Alternative input methods for Chinese and other non-Latin languages - Accessibility features like the screen reader and virtual keyboard

en	QR code scanning of Tor bridges

en	We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.

en	To get a QR code, you can either:

en	Send an empty email to <bridges@torproject.org> from a Gmail or Riseup email address.

en	Get bridges from <https://bridges.torproject.org/> and print the QR code on paper.

en	We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are [working with Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/40052) to make them smaller and easier to scan.

en	[[!img test_5.8-beta1/qr_code.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	Changes and updates
de	Änderungen und Aktualisierungen

en	- Update *Tor Browser* to [12.0.1](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1201).

en	Known issues
de	Bekannte Probleme

en	If you are facing some of these issues, try downgrading to Tails 5.7. To do so:

en	- Download [Tails 5.7](https://iso-history.tails.boum.org/tails-amd64-5.7/) - Do a [[manual upgrade|upgrade#manual]] to Tails 5.7.

en	Problems with Qt applications like Kleopatra and Feather

en	Applications using the Qt toolkit have issues in Wayland. You can work around these issues by running these applications using XWayland instead.

en	Clipboard encryption and decryption is broken in *Kleopatra* ([[!tails_ticket 19329]])

en	To fix this:

en	Choose **Applications**&nbsp;▸ **Utilities**&nbsp;▸ **Terminal** to open a terminal.

en	Execute the following command in the terminal:

en	unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM & kleopatra &

en	This only works if *Kleopatra* has never been started since Tails started. Otherwise, execute this command and try again:

en	killall kleopatra

en	AppImages like *Feather* wallet and *Bitcoin-Qt* fail to load ([[!tails_ticket 19326]])

en	Navigate to your AppImage in the *Files* browser.

en	Do right-click (on Mac, click with two fingers) in the folder and choose **Open in Terminal**.

en	Execute the following command in the terminal to start your AppImage.

en	Replace:
de	Ersetzen Sie:

en	application.AppImage by the file name of your AppImage.

en	unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM ; ./application.AppImage

en	For example, to start the *Feather* wallet version 2.1.2, execute:

en	unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM ; ./feather-2.1.2.AppImage

en	Some graphics cards stopped working in Tails 5.8 ([[!tails_ticket 19353]])

en	People have reported us several graphics cards that used to work in Tails 5.7 and stopped working in Tails 5.8:

en	To fix this, add the `i915.force_probe=4e55` [[boot option|doc/advanced_topics/boot_options]].

en	`8086:4e71`

en	Add the `i915.force_probe=4e71` [[boot option|doc/advanced_topics/boot_options]] and [let us know](mailto:tails-bugs@boum.org) whether it helps.

en	`1002:73ff` Navi 23

en	`1002:743f` RX 6400

en	If the error message lists multiple graphics cards:

en	If possible, plug the monitor into the motherboard's Intel graphics card, as opposed to the external Nvidia or AMD/ATI graphics card.

en	Explicitly select one of the two graphics adapters in the BIOS instead of letting the system choose one automatically. If this does not solve the problem, try selecting the other graphics adapter.

en	Add the `nouveau.modeset=0` [[boot option|doc/advanced_topics/boot_options]]. This will force the system to use your other graphics cards, instead of the NVIDIA one.

en	These graphics card probably don't work as good on Wayland as they used to work on X.Org.

en	Unfortunately, we have no solution to offer you so far.

en	We hope that this gets fixed in the next update of the Linux kernel, maybe in Tails 5.9.

en	Persistent Storage fails to load with symbolic links in Dotfiles ([[!tails_ticket 19346]])

en	If you have [[!wikipedia Symbolic_link desc="symbolic links"]] in the [[Dotfiles|doc/persistent_storage/configure#dotfiles]] feature of your Persistent Storage, your Persistent Storage fails to load with the error message:

en	Failed to activate the Persistent Storage. Please start Tails and send an error report.

en	To fix this, remove or replace these symbolic links.

en	The following instructions explain how to access the content of your Persistent Storage.

en	- When starting Tails:

en	Do not unlock your Persistent Storage.

en	Set an [[administration password|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password]].

en	- In Tails, unlock your Persistent Storage:

en	Choose **Applications**&nbsp;▸ **Utilities**&nbsp;▸ **Disks**.

en	In the *Disks* utility, select your Tails USB stick in the left pane.

en	Select the **TailsData LUKS** partition in the right pane.

en	Click the **[[!img lib/unlock.png alt="Unlock selected encrypted partition" class="symbolic" link="no"]]** button.

en	Enter the passphrase of your Persistent Storage.

en	In the second password prompt, enter your administration password.

en	Click the **TailsData Ext4** that appeared below the **TailsData LUKS** partition.

en	1. Click the **[[!img lib/media-playback-start.png alt="Mount selected partition" link=no class=symbolic]]**.

en	Close the *Disks* utility.

en	- Navigate to the content of your Persistent Storage:

en	Choose **Applications**&nbsp;▸ **System Tools**&nbsp;▸ **Root Terminal** to open a terminal with administration rights.

en	Execute the following command to open the *Files* browser with administration rights:

en	nautilus

en	In the *Files* browser, navigate to */media/amnesia/TailsData/dotfiles*.

en	Remove or replace all symbolic links in the dotfiles folder.

en	Symbolic links have the following icon:

en	[[!img symlink.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	Restart Tails and try unlocking your Persistent Storage like usually.

en	*Tor Browser* has no minimize and maximize buttons ([[!tails_ticket 19328]])

en	To work around this:

en	Right-click on the *Tor Browser* tab in the window list at the bottom of the screen.

en	Choose **Minimize** or **Maximize**.

en	Welcome Screen and Tor Connection don't fit on 800×600 ([[!tails_ticket 19324]])

en	The top of the Welcome Screen and some button of the Tor Connection assistant are cut out on small displays (800×600), like virtual machines.

en	You can press **Alt+S** to start Tails.

en	Switches of the Persistent Storage settings are very slow sometimes ([[!tails_ticket 19291]])

en	The switches that turn on and off the different features of the Persistent Storage are very slow to respond on some USB sticks. Please report on [[!tails_ticket 19291]] if this happens to you.

en	Progress bar of *Tor Connection* gets stuck around 50% ([[!tails_ticket 19173]])

en	When using a custom Tor `obfs4` bridge, the progress bar of *Tor Connection* sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremely slow.

en	To fix this, you can either:
de	Um dies zu beheben, können Sie entweder:

en	Close and reopen *Tor Connection* to speed up the initial connection.

en	Try a different `obfs4` bridge.

en	This issue only affects outdated obfs4 bridges and does not happen with obfs4 bridges that run version 0.0.12 or later.
