Known issues

• Tails fails to start and displays a black screen with some Intel graphics cards.

  To fix this issue, add nomodeset to the startup options.

  If this workaround doesn't work, add nomodeset xorg-driver=vesa to the startup options.

  If this workaround doesn't work, please report to tails-support-private@boum.org:

  • The brand and model of your computer.
  • The workaround that you tried and that failed.
  • If possible, the output of the lspci -n command executed on another Linux system, such as an older Tails.

See the list of long-standing issues.
