Installer gets me to a mouse pointer, which I can move around, on a black background #18

Let's keep the issues separate - #17 for ventoy, this new one for the new issue

Writing the image straight to the USB drive gets me to a mouse pointer, which I can move around, on a black background on TTY7.

Waited for 10 minutes, way longer than the stock live image takes to boot. Ran top on TTY2, nothing going on, 0% CPU.

@T-Altmeyer we need to figure out what is it stuck on.

Can you go back to TTY2, run sudo systemctl status and check for any services that are "starting" or "died" or otherwise suspicious?

Do you have network connected on the machine?

T-Altmeyer commented 1 year ago

System is degraded in systemctl.

I did not have network connected as this is a wifi only machine. Connected fine when presented with network via USB. journalctl.txt systemctlstatus.txt

Unfortunately, I don't know why the installer behaves this way on this machine.

The installer now uses a kernel from backports (6.4 as of today) and this should help compatibility with more devices.
