Hello everybody, I do not know if I am in the right place to ask about it, so I am sorry if this is the case. I wanted to ask few questions about the new version of tails that came out today. Tails 4.4. I followed every step to try to fix it but nothing seems to work. After the computer initiates into the USB and loads the screen to selec the language it frozes. I can select langage and everything but once i select to start tails it frozes. Does someone know why this could be happening? Thank you.

I had to google Tails. 🙂

I don't think this is the proper place for that question, to be honest. This chat is very specific to XMPP-based development.

What made you come here?

server: conference.riseup.net room: tails use TLS/SSL to connect!

That

Oh, that does smell like XMPP

From the Tails website they send you there to connect about the rpoblems

Do you know how can I enter that conference?

You can use an XMPP client to join that room

it's address is tails@conference.riseup.net

from what I see, Tails ships with Pidgin, which has some (but very basic, almost broken) XMPP support - so you might want to try that.

after you add your account to Pidgin, you can open a dialog that allows you to join a chat room. It will look a bit like this:

Thank you so much! I will try that right now. I appreciate your help

no problem

I get the impression that we (a) need an onboarding room, (b) list it prominently e.g. on search.jabber.network and (c) have it joinable via browser.

Something like the old jabber@ room?

IIRC that was more targeted at users and this kind of thing

we also might want to reach out to the dev team of Tails and make 'm include a proper client.

Ah, that was from https://tails.boum.org/getting_started/index.en.html

Zash they considered Gajim for a time

but as this is a security centered OS

they have special requirements

Like libpurple

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/replace_Pidgin/

stuff like OTR support ..
