Leap not booting into GUI, just goes to command line #270

Closed markadewet closed 3 years ago

markadewet commented 3 years ago

Hi all, I am a novice at Linux and I have just downloaded GeckoLinux_STATIC_Plasma.x86_64-153.210608.0 from here and created a USB boot disk using Etcher (running as Administrator) on Windows 7, as suggested. The USB boots fine as far as I can tell, however, neither the normal boot option nor the failsafe option bring up a GUI. It just drops to a command prompt. Is there something I am doing wrong or something wrong with the way the image was written to the USB Stick? Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Hi there, could you please verify the md5sum of the download?

I did, both SHA1 and MD5 are correct as per the website: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geckolinux/files/Static/153.210608/

Please give one of the Rolling editions a try, in case it's an issue with newer hardware compatibility. Also try a different USB drive. Also please post your hardware specs and a picture of the screen when it fails to boot.
