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).
