Facing issues with setting up Tails Linux? Let me help you troubleshoot.
You're facing some tricky issues with installing Tails Linux. It sounds like the problem might be related to the USB stick you're using. When you boot from your multiboot stick (installed via YUMI), it works fine, but switching to a different USB drive—especially one with more space—can cause errors. The new 32GB USB 3.1 might not have enough free space for Tails, or there could be compatibility issues with the installation process. Also, ensure the USB is properly formatted and that you're using the correct partition layout for Tails. Try formatting it as a Linux partition and then reinstalling. If you're still stuck, double-check the drive's status and consider using a different USB stick.
Use a tool such as rufus or etcher to burn the tails ISO file onto a flash drive. This should complete the process.
You installed the OS image via Etcher but encountered the same issue during boot, receiving the "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error when using the Universal USB installer.
Execute "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX" to erase the USB drive, then retry the setup process.
