Description

From the 1.1~beta1 test session:

> When removing Tails USB during Greeter, the emergency shutdown is not triggered, I got a black screen
> with “amnesia login:” while removing the same device when Tails is fully started effectively launch
> the emergency shutdown

I tested on real hardware and got tons of SQUASHFS errors and no shutdown at all. I confirmed that memlockd and the udev watchdog were running at the time.

Regression since 1.0.

I’ll take it. It seems that touch /etc/default/locale is enough to make /etc/init.d/tails-kexec work again.
