Title: HALP! Problem with Tails. "No default or ui configuration directive found."
Post by: painbow on October 01, 2012, 03:21 am
I'm using Windows 7 and burned the Tails 0.13 ISO onto a CD. 

Whenever I try to boot from the CD, I get the following error::

Error 3200 reading sector 393700
No default or ui configuration directive found

Anybody help?!

I'm assuming that you checked out the hash of the .iso file, or verified the PGP detached signature?  If so, that would rule out a bad .iso download.

No, I haven't checked the hash of the iso file.  How do I do that?

Also, what's the point of verifying detached PGP signature?  Is it just to make sure your download was from a legit source?

Thank you Guru!

This is what I got when I did  gpg verify thing.  Does this look alright?

gpg --verify tails*.pgp tails*.iso
gpg: Signature made 09/18/12 04:25:35 Eastern Daylight Time using RSA key ID BE2

gpg: Good signature from "Tails developers (signing key) <tails@boum.org>"
gpg:                 aka "T(A)ILS developers (signing key) <amnesia@boum.org>"

If the verification failed, what would it say instead?
