In the top-right corner of the top navigation bar, the system menu allows you to manage your settings, connect to a Wi-Fi network, and restart your computer.

Networking

From the system menu, you can choose which Wi-Fi network to connect to.

See also the documentation on connecting to a network.

Screen locker

Click on Lock screen to lock your screen with a password.

  • Falls Sie beim Starten von Tails ein Administrationspasswort einstellen, können Sie den Bildschirm mit Ihrem Administrationspasswort entsperren.

    Your screen will automatically lock after some time if you have set up an administration password. To disable this behavior, execute the following command in a terminal:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false

  • Anderenfalls können Sie ein Passwort zum Entsperren des Bildschirms einstellen, wenn Sie den Bildschirm zum ersten Mal sperren.

Suspend

Click Suspend to suspend your computer.

While suspended, your computer is not computing anymore but is still powered on, like if it was standing still but still alive.

To resume from suspend and go back to the Tails desktop, push the power button of your computer.

If you remove your Tails USB stick while suspended, your computer will not shut down immediately and will only shut down when resuming.

An attacker with physical access to your computer and capable of finding your screen locker password or setting up a cold-boot attack can compromise your Tails while suspended.

For more security, shut down Tails entirely.
