Topic: GParted Live 1.5.0 does not show X (NUC11PHKi7C)

When running either one of:

  • GParted Live (Default settings)

  • GParted Live (Default settings & To RAM)

  • GParted Live (KMS)

  • GParted Live (KMS & To RAM)

  • GParted Live (KMS with large font & To RAM)

after simply hitting Enter on questions GParted Live asks, thus effectively choosing

(0) Continue to start X to use GParted automatically

it ends up displaying:

Debian GNU/Linux 12 debian tty1

debian login: user (automatic login)

Linux debian 6.1.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.15-1 (2023-03-05) x86_64

and blinking underscore text cursor _ below it (for a brief 1-2 seconds text cursor stops blinking, but then resumes and blinks perpetually).
It does not show X Window System.

Issue can be observed on both:

  • gparted-live-1.5.0-1-amd64.iso (stable)

  • gparted-live-1.5.0-2-amd64.iso (testing)

There is NO such issue with:

  • gparted-live-1.4.0-6-amd64.iso

so the fact that I'm conveniently booting ISOs through Ventoy ("Boot in normal mode" or "Boot in grub2 mode" - the same end result for GParted Live) should not be a problem here.

It's worth noting that when using:

  • GParted Live (VGA with large font & To RAM)

  • GParted Live Safe graphic settings (vga=normal)

X shows without issue in all mentioned versions of GParted Live (1.4 & 1.5).

My hardware: NUC11PHKi7C

(There is a similar thread for NUC12, but behavior is not exactly the same, so didn't want to prematurely lump it together.)

Bonus issue: When using

  • GParted Live (Failsafe mode)

it doesn't even boot properly, after displaying messages

it hangs completely (text cursor is not blinking), keyboard no longer responds (Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work) and hard reset is needed in all mentioned versions of GParted Live (1.4 & 1.5).

Somehow I missed this post. Today I have uploaded an updated version of GParted live, i.e., 1.5.0-3:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparte … e-testing/
Please give it a try and let us know the results.
Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know, Steven. Will try to test it this weekend and provide a report afterward.

Re: GParted Live 1.5.0 does not show X (NUC11PHKi7C)

So I tested:

  • gparted-live-1.5.0-3-amd64.iso (testing)

on the same machine.

When running either one of:

  • GParted Live (Default settings)

  • GParted Live (Default settings & To RAM)

  • GParted Live (VGA with large font & To RAM)

  • GParted Live (KMS)

  • GParted Live (KMS & To RAM)

  • GParted Live (KMS with large font & To RAM)

  • GParted Live Safe graphic settings (vga=normal)

I successfully got into X Window System.
So that's an improvement.

Bonus issue mentioned previously and related to:

  • GParted Live (Failsafe mode)

remains, though.
